Manager of the season: David Moyes agreed
Player of the season: Christiano Ronaldo
Team of the Season: has to be man u but everton are a good call
Flop Manager of the Season: derby manager
Flop Player of the Season: Philippe Senderos with fucking bells on!!!!!
Flop Team of the Season: derby!

cmon the welsh for wembley but yknow.. id love to see the minnows beat the premiership but i would equally like to see david james and jermaine defoe grab a medal.. i am total neutral here and just gonna sit back and watch it.... i reckon 2 all after the 90 and cardiff will grab a final minute winner in e.t.

A bit cheesed of a welsh team are allowed to play in the English league and all that, just seems wrong. Saying that, i'll always support the underdog in the FA Cup if I can be neutral about it. David James getting a medal would be a good thing though, can't say the same thing about Defoe - horrible little cunt IMO.

I suppose in real terms Derby were the flops of the season, I just think as a team coming up, they're not expected to do much. Bolton though were looking steady for Europe the past couple of seasons, then meltdown central. Not that i'm bothered - a horrible team.

I miss the really long build up you used to get on Grandstand in the 80s. Cameras on the team buses, meet the wives, Jimmy Tarbuck wearing a Pringle rollneck. It seemed to start at about 10.00 in the morning and was like christmas without the presents.

I miss Grandstand too. But the Soccer AM Cup Final build up has been great over the last few years, though im not watching it atm. Tim Lovejoy is crap doing the 606 phone in but hes perfect at doing soccer AM.

demonrail666 · 05.17.2008, 08:16 AM

I don't get Sky so can't see soccer AM. Have seen it round a mates house before though, and thought it was all a bit blokey. You'd not find Jimmy Hill chatting up page three girls in Derby tops, I know that much.

Anyway, I've got a packet of 20 Pall Malls, a family sized bar of Dairy Milk, a jumbo sized bottle of Fanta and a tube of sour cream and chive Pringles so I'm all ready now. Don't really care who wins but a couple of sendings off, a disputed penalty, a fight between a couple of players and having it come down to penalties after ET will leave me well happy. I think you have to fancy Pompey, but its the FA Cup, so it's anyone's I suppose.

Nah, its good fun. The new bloke (and i mean BLOKE) who has replaced Tim Lovejoy is tedious but way back when it was a really nice show. Frankly a show about football HAS to be blokey to a degree.
I think Pompey will win it 1-0 with Judas Campbell and insane David James as men of the match.

demonrail666 · 05.17.2008, 08:30 AM

Yeah, fair enough, I've only seen it with the new bloke.

Agree with the likely score. Although I think if Portsmouth go a goal up early it could be a bit of a landslide. Cardiff's chances are gonna depend a lot on Hasselbiank finding some form of old.

jimmy floyd moneyinthebaink......

the ikara cult · 05.17.2008, 10:44 AM

I like watching good defensive play because i myself am a defender but this game has been pointless

Agree with Ikara, very boring. No real quality from either side.

the ikara cult · 05.17.2008, 10:48 AM

If Wankywank Kanu is the most exciting thing about a game its a sad state of affairs...

demonrail666 · 05.17.2008, 11:32 AM

Yeah, I think the commentators were bigging it up largely cos of the passion of the two teams' fans, rather than anything that happened on the pitch. Not as bad as some FA Cups but there was a sense of 'so what' about the whole thing. I like it when a smaller team get there, but you do sort of need one of the big four in it as well for neutrals to really get a sense of excitement. Saying that, it's not for the neutrals and Pompey fans could probably care less that it wasn't exactly a classic.

PAULYBEE2656 · 05.17.2008, 01:05 PM

nope, not a classic... not a classic at all.. but still. great day for pompey fans....

demonrail666 · 05.17.2008, 01:12 PM

Indeed. The FA Cup, probably more than any other competition in English football is primarily one for the fans of the teams involved and I'm sure the Portsmouth fans had a great day out. I remember West Ham beating Arsenal in the 1980 FA Cup as vividly as if it'd happened yesterday. Same with the final a couple of years ago when we lost to Liverpool which, despite the result, still remains an amazing memory. I think every teams' fans, regardless of the size of their club, deserves an FA Cup final day to call their own. In this age of big business and behind the scenes cynicism, it maintains a certain romance that I don't think exists anywhere else in the today's game. Play up Pompey indeed.
