Birmingham City 2-1 Arsenal | Carling Cup Final 2011 

If only Arsenal Fan TV existed then 😂😂😂

2011: Game happens 2014: Highlights uploaded 2019: I watch the highlights *noice*

Arsenal fan - And this was a great final, can't really be angry at seeing a team like Birmingham win a major domestic trophy; that's what so beautiful about footie!

Watching this again, almost 4 years later, it still hasn't truly sunk in that I watched my team win a cup final at Wembley. I can say I was there, I can say I watched us beat one of the best teams in English football...but it still seems so surreal for me.

Birmingham City saved football that day. Do hope they can sort themselves out and return to the big time.

5:02 respect to koscielny taking it like a man!

Makes me happy each time I see this

I remember watching this 11 years ago. Ben Foster was incredible the whole match, some of the best goal keeping I've ever seen

Not a Birmingham fan, but genuinely happy for them

2:38 sums up van persie really. scores and gets injured

Respect from a NUFC fan. SHIT ON THE VILLA!!!

What a day! I need Birmingham back in the Prem so I can watch from the US.

Best day of my life as a blues fan

I watch this atleast 5 times a year to as a reminder that being a blue nose isn’t all dull and gloom UP THE BLUES!!! KRO

If only we had a cycling GK video to accompany this match

I was so happy to see Birmingham win this final, but disappointed when they went down in the same season. They've had some great seasons in the top flight and I always believe the Second City derby should be a Premier League derby. I'm always holding out hope as a neutral to see Birmingham City back in the Premier League.

Love the way Wenger lead the team on their way to the field. Yet, worst month of my life, got bullied like never before lol. Being a gooner isn't easy.

My favourite ever Birmingham city game

Alan Smith the villa/arsenal fan was loving that

Still get goosebumps

Been so depressed with recent form that I just had to watch this again, what a day to remember, BLUES ARE US 😊👍

I still remember this day just like yesterday. Tears rolled down my eye seeing Birmingham's dreams come true

American Fan here! KRO!

3 ex Newcastle united players won it that's why I was happy, and of course for Birmingham such a wonderful club. St Andrews can't be a league one stadium no way.

Undoubtedly the happiest day of my life. I get teary every time I watch the highlights.

Troy Deeney at 7:40 haha. legend

Love the fact I got to watch this game live with my grandad before he past I also love the fact that the majority of villa fans will never have that same experience ✌🏻

First time I watched this back since attending the final. Great achievement for Birmingham. I was gutted on the day, but fair play to Birmingham. Well deserved victory.

I was there with my 2 brothers the greatest moment of being a blues fan,we took over London that day,what great memories. KRO SOTV ZW

What a team Birmingham had 2011....

Respect from Adelaide United. KRO

Being at Wembley was the most special thing about winning the cup. One of the best days of my life.

Alan Smith never praised Blues during this... whenever we do something good, instantly criticises Arsenal, not praising us. Arse

birmingham was my first away match supporting united in the 70s ,we got beat 3-1 but ive always looked for the brums results ,it was great to see you winning this cup and good luck for the future

That is the beauty of league Cup and FA Cup ,on any given day any underdog team or unfancied Team can beat any mighty and favorite Team!

Birmingham very good to watch i am a wigan fan and also Birmingham are beter than villa hahaha

That offside desicion against bowyer 🙈🙄🙄🙄

I remember this game so well! Not just for the infamous winner but the whole shock thing about it. Nobody saw Birmingham winning this and well... look what they did!

"They stayed true to the words of their famous theme song, they kept right on to the end of the road" Commentating on point

Watch this on a weekly basis, Still can't believe it now in 2023. Incredible. After the shenanigans/outright cheating in the Liverpool 2001 final never thought we'd do it.

Im a arsenal fan i was pissed when we lost but credit to Birmingham city arsenal thought they had won it before kick off

7 years ago how time flys

i would like to see them back in the prem

Ese Birmingham contaba con el gran Jean Beausejour que con Chile ganó dos veces consecutivas la Copa America, ese día fui un fanático más de Birmingham desde mi lejano Chile🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

One of the best moment for The Cycling GK!!!!!

I have no connections to Birmingham whatsoever but this is a brilliant, magical moment, it's great to see an underdog victory

Still watching in 2019. Proud to be a Blues supporter. KRO!

One of the best days of my life, I will never forget it!!!!

I don't mind seeing Birmingham City win a trophy - in fact I was cheering them on. In an ideal world those wee pups should be keeping Villa on their toes. Well done Blues.

Still bitter about this game.. But nothing i can do about it. Really want to see you lot back in the Prem!

what a match one of the greatest days ever to be a blues fan

I can't believe my eyes is it Fraser Forster I'm seeing there , the same in Wrexham last season omg 😱

I keep going back to this video, because 1) I’m proud blue nose 2) this was my biggest win betting on football I won over 1k on multiple bets on this game including first and last goal scorer with 2-1 blues

if only this could bappen to he albion. well done blues

I am a Liverpool fan but I am happy for them. What a victory.

As Englands second city, Birmingham City fc should really have abit more history about them!

that van persie goal is so crazy

Still remember the horror and pain I felt this day. I told my friend hours before "lets end that trophy drought!" Since I live in Japan, I had to wake up at 4 am on a school night but oh was it going to be worth it to watch us lift that cup. The unreal amount of tears that bursted from my face when I saw Lee Bowyer smack Koscielny's head after he had made the mistake. Worst day of my fucking life. but good on yea Birmingham!

I'm so happy for them!

What a match man...good memories

best game ever for Birmingham city

5:31 the commentary out of context is golden

This was in my recommended, I’m so glad I watched it. KROOOOO❤️

I don't really mind BCFC winning the Cup. But that disrespect toward Koscielny was just unbearable. But Koscielny made up for his mistake by scoring the equalizer in the FA Cup last year.

Been to 3 Wembley finals and won all 3 !!!!! Up the Blues - KRO !!!!

HÁ QUATRO ANOS (2011) , O BIRMINGHAM CITY VENCEU O ''PODEROSO'' ARSENAL POR 2X1 , EM WEMBLEY E CONQUISTOU O BI DA COPA DA LIGA INGLESA DEPOIS DE 48 ANOS (DESDE 1963) . SAUDADES DESSES GUERREIROS !

You could tell in Alan Smiths voice he was devastated when martins put that winner in. Villa fuck. KRO!

I love seeing troy deeney at 7:40 now that hes a blues player

still gives me the shivers and a smile on my face when i watch this 💙 KRO

Still gives me goosebumps till this day 😍

It's 2023, for the first time I feel Birmingham deserve it since they've not won a trophy for decades, but then Arsenal 6yrs drought felt decades and yes this particular match destroyed the team, everyone wanted to leave Arsenal then.. but thank God for 2013🥰 hull city almost did the worst to Arsenal but thank God

Miss the old kit

I love this club KRO 💙💙💙💙

7:40 Troy Deeney witnessing his future club winning the trophy

I think it also has to said, fair play to Arsenal that and their fans that day. They will always be one of the elite of English football, total respect

wow nice Birmingham love from west brom

this is always going to be speacle game as it was the last time my grandad will ever see that we won the cup he died this year im glad he got to see us win a cup. and i can rember what i was doing me, dad and brother where in the lounge wacthing the finle. i was siting by the fire place with my dad next to me and my borther on the other sofa. when we sroced the frist goal i was excited. when the equliser came i thought oh no we wil lose this. as it got to the 85th min i said this will go to ET and just after i sead that i see martines putting the ball in the back of the net my dad went mental i went meantle and my birther went mental. after the goal i was like blow the wheesl ref. when it did go i was running round the lounge and got out of breath. al so this was the frist season i stared to like football. i will never never going to forget this for as long as i live.

And today we are competing in the FA Cup final, far more prestigious than carling, and we deserved to win birmingham. coyg

Being in the prem, and being in the championship is no difference if neither teams are winning trophies... Football is about winning titles, villa are not accomplishing anything by being in the premier league without winning any trophies... Blues have

5:02 Savage 😂😂😂😂😂

One of the best days of my life. We'll be there again! KRO "there will be joys and sorrows too"

Big man Ben Foster!

I cried this game 😢😢

I remember this day

Nikola Žigić is BEAST

United fan but nice work Birmingham:)

one of the most universally beloved moments of the decade :)

Best day ever

Still sends shivers down my spine and a tear or two in my eyes even after 11 years We kept right on and done what many though was the impossible Great day in the history of Birmingham city FC And the history books will forever always bear our name along the the greats of English football Liverpool Man city Man but Spurs Leicester city

Spotted a Troy deeney at 7:40

7:40 anyone else notice Troy deeney in the crowd😂😂

Gets better each time I watch it. Never gets old. KRO🔵⚪️🔵⚪️

GREAT DAY!!!!!!! FROM A CHELSEA FAN

Came here from Bens podcast. But wow VAR really is necessary in order for the calls to be made correctly

Looking back this amazing acheivement for us but its truly bafflefing how that squad of players got relegated! and well we know what followed, hopefully we are onthe rise again now.

after my kids this was the best day of my life nobody can take that away sotv

Loved this. Always root for the underdog only wish Newcastle could do something like this!

Would do anything to replay this game! Come on you blue boys give us more memories like this

Dope 🔥🔥🔥 🇳🇬 Obafemi Martins

Who came after Ben fosters video?
