We could win the quadruple and they would downplay it.
Just enjoy it and don't worry what others think
No, think it's valued about right by us and other fans
FA Cup would be brilliant for a club like Spurs or Liverpool at this point, but most fans accept Arsenal should be achieving more.
I think the opposition in the finals also devalue it a bit, hence why I wanted Liverpool last year

Most fans only think we should be doing better because of our inconsistency.
Truth is we are par for the course considering our spending over the last decade.
Leicester is 3 points clear at the top of the league and folks are still backing them to finish outside the CL places. It's really just a reputation thing.
Win a few more titles and watch the media crown us its new darling. It's just business.
Well, for PL clubs it is arguably the easiest trophy to win with as few as 6 one off games required to be won. Still, we've had some difficult fixtures in the last two season and still pulled through. But it doesn't require the consistency of a league campaign, or have a series of difficult two-legged tours against the best teams in the continent.
I love the FA Cup but it definitely isn't what it used to be. I think people don't appreciate Arsenals' success because they got Hull and Villa in the final, and it's not like you had to go to Stamford Bridge or the Etihad in previous rounds either so people tend to think you only really won it by default that other big teams got knocked out earlier and not by you.m
I think it was a great achievement, though.

We knocked out Liverpool, Everton, Spurs and Wigan who were holders at the time. Then last season Utd at OT somewhere we hadn't won since 06. Yeah we got easy teams in the final but people forget about previous rounds

exactly, daft comments really.
Its just the media who a jokers, if we won the PL everyone would then go on about how we havent won the CL.
People forget we have the 3/4th hightwest wage bill in the PL and in theory thats where we should finish.
"Its just the media who a jokers, if we won the PL everyone would then go on about how we havent won the CL. "
I doubt they would. You are deluding yourself if you think the only reason we don't get more acclaim for winning 2 FA Cups in 10 years is because we are Arsenal and the media don't like us.
Fantastic achievement to win back to back FA Cups.
I think it is a very good achievement to win two FA cups in a row. All the big teams could have won it along with any of the excellent surprise teams from lower down, but we won it! Twice in a row so it's not just luck!
In no way is or achievement undervalued. In my opinion neither is the F.A. Cup for at least the last four or five years it has regained its former standing in this country.
Winning trophies is the best feeling, and we became the most successful FA cup team as well, Wengerthe FA cup GOAT which made it more special
I would say the media in general play down your recent FA Cup success (more so than fans).Which is ironic due to the media banging on about how big clubs dont treat the Cup with much respect.
Winning a cup is often seen as a spring board to greater success, like winning the league. What I think has devalued the FA Cup is the CL. When it used to be just the champions in the EC most teams were after the league and FA Cup as the big 2. Now the top teams are more interested in the CL and qualifying for the next seasons CL and the money that generates so the FA Cup is a lower priority.
Still means a lot to clubs who wont qualify for Europe though so winning it twice is still a great achievement.
