I think Szczesny is a very good keeper and will be a great one. This is his first real blunder and had a lot to do with Kos...I do hope we buy a CB though.

I'm more upset with his selection of Rosicky and his insistence of playing Chamakh and Bendtner at the same time which never ever ever works.

With so much talk about how this could jump-start a trophy run, I sure hope this loss doesn't have the opposite effect.

My last word for now: looks like another trophy-less season.

Actually I hope the blunder doesn't affect the confidence of Szczesny and Koscielny too much. Both players were coming into their own, and there was a serious lack of basic communication.

We also need to shed some players and get some back-up wide players.

It was really just bad luck, and hopefully this last thing will be the end of it. It sucks for the players and the fans though.

Did you see that ludicrous display today? You know the trouble with Arsenal is they always try to walk it in.

Seriously that was pretty shitty way to lose a cup final.

I am tired of hearing this. Too much has the hope been placed in the development of CB's and Keeper for the future. The NOW for the past 3 seasons has been killing them at those same exact positions.

I think you're being a little hard on Szczesny. He's been lights out for us since taking over the #1 GK spot. This is his first blunder. Even the best make blunders sometimes.

Yes. I just hope it doesn't become one of those things that sticks with him.

Every keeper has. Even Van de Saar and Howard have had wtf? momemnts this EPL season. Kosc was more to blame unless Scez didn't call him off.

Great goal from Balotelli today. Surprised City didn't dominate from that point on. Fulham played a great match and the result was deserved.

Fulham deserved to win. Bobby Manc is on his way out, along with 6-7 players over the summer imo.
Balotelli's goal was spectacular yes, but he's just not EPL material. I like the guy, think he's hilarious, but he doesn't fit in the mold with Tevez and Dzeko. I think without David Silva, yet again, City is absolute garbage. What you saw today after the Balotelli goal is why we went for the draw against Arsenal second game. We are the sucks. I'm still pissed about it and am trying not to think about.

I'm sorry to all of the Arsenal fans for your loss today. Sorry I rubbed it in a little with the pictures, but overall, I feel for you. Being a Cubs fan all my life and a City fan for the last 5-6 have taught me that being a supporter is much more than winning or losing.
