I can't be bothered to trawl any further down the non-league "pyramid"...

Must admit, first cup final I couldn't be bothered to watch in years, and If I'm honest was a bit angry that either of those sides managed to get through.

At least a londoner, Harry Redknapp won it, which still gives the whole competition some credence.

 

[Keith Oates]

From the reports I've seen it seems to have been a close and hard fought match so the supporters will be happy. It will also make Rednapp feel good about staying at Pompey and not going after the big money, as was suggested a while back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of football fans in Waterloo station this morning, some already pissed at 10am. I didn't understand why there were so many people wearing blue and drinking Carling on the train. Apparently there was a soccer match somewhere today...

..Yawn...I remember when a cup final meant 6 inches of mud and blood...today was dull.

Best cup final ever 1970...Chelsea v. leeds.

Poor goal to lose a cup final on. Highlights were somewhat lacking.

I remember in the good old days my uncle used to come round and drink beer with my dad in the living room, curtains drawn against the blazing sun, and at half-time we'd try to re-enact the top moments, then replay pretty much the whole match after finishing.

My vote would be for ManU v Arsenal (1978?). Gunners won 3-2.

1902, 1915, 1925, Maz?

I'll cheer for Cardiff (first time I chosen anything Welsh to cheer on).
I lived in Portsmouth (Southsea) for a year, the people were/are a little, how shall I put this, odd!

I went to my Mum's earlier this morning (09:15ish), and just as I passed the Polish War Memorial (A40 in London - not a million miles from Wemberlee) there were two bedenimed, scarfed (blue?) middle-aged men standing in this nondescript place, on the pavement, partying on Stella Artois. Rows of semi-detached houses were casting an eye on these semi-detatched people.
Were they from Cardifster United up North, or Portsea Rangers?
