Arsenal were poor, and the strangest thing was, it went to penalties, thats why they won.
And yet an Arseanl player said that they were the best on the day - he was in cuckoo land. Wenger, he made poor decisions in my views.

Like most neutrals I was in Wigan's corner but TBH although they did play with great spirit and made Arsenal look ordinary, they only had 9 attempts at goal, only 2 on target including a penalty. They never really looked like scoring from open play. On the balance of chances/goal attempts/possession Arsenal more than shaded it. A bit different from the last time they won an FA cup match on penalties.
Also don't see Nick Powell having a future at OT.
If Wigan can pick themselves up from this then I wouldn't want to be the Championship side that have to face them in the play offs.
