Agree with all the sentiments above. Bursting with pride in our team and hope when their initial disappointment has worn off, they feel proud of themselves too. Ok we lost but we did ourselves proud, club and supporters alike today and the watching millions may just look at us in a different light now. Great season and another to look forward to, including our first in Europe. Wow, there really has never been a better time to be a Hull City supporter! UTT
Listening to 5 live for a bit on the way back home, it seems as though we're happier than Arsenal fans - even though they've won the cup and we haven't. A good few of them rang up to complain about how poor they are despite winning that trophy they've craved for years, yet we're the ones feeling as proud as we've ever done despite being the losers!
In a way it's all been said but just wanted to add my congratulations to the team. Not only did our lads play exceptionally well, in my view they played a key role in not only what was a great game, but in the continuing rehabilitation of the FA Cup - a competition that deserves far more respect than it's been afforded over the last several years. Obviously disappointed but so proud. Well done Hull City and thanks for a sensational end to a marvellous season!
So so proud of the boys. They did us amazingly well and really made Arsenal work for it. I'm glad I've witnessed that in person in all of its glory.
Just got back to my sister's on NHE. The junior tigers had a brilliant day and of course so did I . Stood and sang in block 110 all the game We out classed there **** support who only sing when there winning. Steve Bruce and the team did ferking brilliant. Arsenal players diving cheating falling over . Most important thing for the tiger nation at Wembley today Is WE WAS THERE. RIP to all who didn't live to see City in an fa cup final..... No reason why we can't get to Wembley again sometime.. Drop the name change Assem Allam And stay at HULL CITY Steve Bruce were you LOVED . THOSE Yorkshire gooners hanging your ****ty flag over 110.........F off . no silverware ...We don't care. Looking forward to the new season and getting to away games.
Arsenal support was rubbish. If we could make as much noise, as we did yesterday, at every game it would be worth ten points a season.
Echo everything posted so far. It feels like a victory. Everywhere we've been, there's a sea of black and amber and people going out of their way to wish us well. The players and Brucie can walk tall. We may not have got ths trophy, but we've won absolute respect. To the players, walk tall, we're increxibly proud of you.
Well done to everybody who went and the team could not have give any more if we had gone 3.0 when they headed it off the line i think that would have been it how ever what a day i came away disappointed that we lost but so happy with the performance
For me, yesterday was the greatest day in our history so far. None of our players would have got in Arsenal's starting 11. One bookmaker had us at 25-1 to win before the game, and yet we gave their highly paid, champion league qualifying team of internationals the fright of their life, and it took them until the last 10 minutes of extra time to save Wenger from a humiliating defeat. (I genuinely believe we would have won a penalty shoot-out). So we brush ourselves down, and go again next season. Get that contract penned Mr Bruce before Newcastle come calling.
Awesome performance. Awesome fans...I feel nothing but immense pride. To take those toss-pots so close meant that we won...All this bollocks from the pundits (****s) about a hammering were way off. If the Bruce header had been six inches higher, if the ref didn't give that corner, which was a goal kick, if this etc we would have won it.. But I'm not bitter. Just proud and grateful to the club for giving us the chance to go there and give it a right go....Brilliant.... PS....I met Robbie Brady's dad on Wembley Way.. Great bloke...
Proud is perhaps the only word to explain how we all feel. Yet for me it doesn't do justice to how I feel. There isn't a word to explain it. No word is big enough. I hope in the days and weeks to come the players realise what they have achieved for us. Not just as a football club but as city. I hope they realise where we're from, how far we've come and how much more we have to show the world. Because the world was watching us yesterday and they saw winners. Anyone that wants to try and brings us down from our cloud of pride can certainly try, but you won't succeed.
I tried to yank it down when they initially put it over the side. They removed it pretty quickly after that until they went 3-2 up. Proud of the lads. They gave it their all. They worked so hard, but unfortunatley tiredness became a factor. Penalties might have been a different story. Who knows. Weldone City.
The way some Arse plastics were giving it large on Wembley Way you would have thought they had won the World Cup, the Champions League final, the league and the Horse of the Year show rolled into one. No you beat little Hull City by the skin of your teeth and with a fair amount of assistance from the witless twat in the middle.
You mean the one who didn't give two or three pretty blatant penalties? Complain about the result all you want but blaming the ref is just not true.
Not sure if City should have had any pens? But if you say so, I'll concur. Yes maybe it is a tad churlish to criticise the ref, but specifically: The corner which wasn't a corner, the propensity to give Arse free-kicks for nothing challenges, yes I know football is no longer a contact sport, but some of the challenges looked legal to me. Numerous free kicks taken from rolling balls....Not in the rule book, is it? Other than that he had a reasonable game..
Come on Sydney mate...I'm pulling your chain... Assuming you are in Sydney, Ozz. How are things over there with your Sydneysiders...loved Manly Beach when I was over there...far better than Bondi, which was a bit like Hornsea on the bad day..
I'm absolutely ****ing gutted. I think when we went 2-0 up, the players suddenly realised '****ing hell, we've got the FA Cup in our hands here' and bottled it a bit. To paraphrase the great Sheldon Cooper, European football is hollow succor to a man who is bereft of trophies. I think in a few-years when I've got over it I'll appreciate what our players and manager have achieved this year, but at the moment I feel like punching a kitten. Having said that, though, I always feel like punching a kitten as I ****ing hate cats. Apart from big cats, like tigers. Just the little domestic ones.
Wonderful occasion. I've never known Hull City fans support the team so well, and we maintained it for the full 120 minutes. The score was almost irrelevant. Almost...
