Congratulations to Arsenal, winners of the 2015 FA Cup. Scoreline 4-0. Sadly it was the one sided walkover that we dreaded...

The FA Cup is the best chance that "the rest" have to gain glory at the expense of the big four. Sadly it was not taken last night, unlike other years with Wigan and Portsmouth.
