Very possibly neither but would have to say would rather attend a kids party with 100 shouting kids than do either of these!
Im not sure the last time I watched an FA final on TV, an event I rarely missed for over 30 years. Cant be bothered anymore. Im surprised its still kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday
Normally I can't be bothered with it either these days but am intrigued by this one.
The death of the old Wembley killed it for me.
It’s an absolute disgrace that the old stadium was destroyed, if it was poor structurally then it should’ve been rebuilt as an exact replica.
Only the English FA would obliterate such an iconic stadium, can you imagine the Brazilians destroying the Maracana?
The new Wembley is an abomination, a hideous monstrosity…….the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff puts it to shame.
May sound like i’m showing off when I say i’ve been to the Maracana 😂 - what an amazing stadium it is. I saw Flumenise v Flamengo. However this was the new maracana I saw back in circa 2014, not the old one. The new one is great but nothing compared the old one based on what i’ve read. The new holds 78k.. the old one held 200k or so. It had to go because of number of deaths each game.. we’re talking at least 1 each game due to the safety. All in all, agree about old wembley - the older stadiums always hold that great atmosphere that new ones can’t.
No interest whatsoever, rather watch paint dry, hate the Premiership and all it stands for.
Didn't they just hate it in 2008 when yourselves , my team Barnsley , Cardiff City and Pompey were the last four .
I remember listening to Talksport on the Friday morning prior to semi final weekend .
This guy rings up and says the FA cup is a non event this year with none of the major clubs involved , which was funny seen as we'd knocked out Liverpool and Chelsea and Pompey put out Man Utd .
The presenter says to the caller , you do realise this year's last four have all won the FA cup before don't you and WBA have won it several times ? .
He didn't know that .
I knew then the FA cup was over because 2008 was always what the FA cup was all about , the romance , the underdog in the once greatest cup competition in the world .
Nope - no interest at all. Football season drags on for too long now - first we had the play-offs, tomorrow it’s the FA Cup, week after it’s the Champions League and then the Internationals. …. So the season finishes around 20th June. I know it was a World Cup season .. but even so. The pre-season friendlies usually start up in July. Also we gave the Women’s World Cup in July.
