5 Greatest Arsenal FA Cup Finals

2002 – Millenium Stadium - Chelsea

Chasing a third domestic double Arsenal faced Chelsea in the 2002 Final in Cardiff. Arsenal were in their second of three finals in a row and interestingly were in 4 of the first 5 finals in Cardiff whilst the new Wembley was being built and featured in two thirds of all the FA Cup finals at the Millenium Stadium.

This has to be Arsenal's greatest ever FA Cup victory due to the immortal c*ck-up by Tim Lovejoy who was commentating with Arsenal fan Bradley Walsh in Sky Sports celebrity fanzone.

With the match goalless Ray Parlour collected the ball inside the Chelsea half and made for the Chelsea penalty area. Tim Lovejoy mockingly sniped "It's alright, it's only Ray Parlour" seconds before Parlour unleashed a monster of a swerving-curling-dipping-mother-f*cker of a shot from all of 25 yards into the top corner past the stretching Carlo Cudicini. The Arsenal fans in the stadium erupted but none could have matched the vociferousness or utter delight of Walsh as he set about offering some vindicated fleering of Lovejoy.

Another great reason to love this final is the retrospective pointing and laughing at John Terry who has a nice turf sandwich when Freddie Ljungberg scored Arsenal's second and secured the double.
