11.28am - KEITH SMITH HAS GOT IN TOUCH...

"Hi to all Arsenal fans from an elderly Gooner. Yesterday was fantastic the crowd was buzzing and the noise and elation were something to behold. A funny moment was on the underground to Baker Street. When entering the station the driver announced, 'Please mind the gap between the train and platform... but, it isn't as big as the one between Arsenal and Tottenham!' whereupon the crowd in the train started to sing 'The Driver is a Gooner'. A nice end to a magical day."

10.45am - HARISH FROM CHENNAI, INDIA HAS BEEN ON...

"The feeling still hasn't sunk in, the most successful club in the FA Cup. The best moment has to be the strike from Alexis, special goal from a very special player. Coming to the funny part ,due to the huge number of gooners present in the screening I didn't have an idea Giroud scored. I started celebrating seeing the people in front of me thinking the match was over only find out that Giroud scored and we won 4-0!"
