FA Cup Final
Ok, so it is the predicted final for the FA Cup, although Chelsea had a close run semi final against Blackburn which went into extra time.
Uniteds game against Watford was all but easy, even if the score was eventually 1 -4, I don't think the game reflected that margin, anyway.....
Who are your favourites to win the FA Cup this year?
Oh and it should be held at the new Wembley

Re: FA Cup Final
Who do I want to win, or who do I think will win - two different answers.

Re: FA Cup Final
The results will be oh so predictable.
Everyone who isn't a Chelsea fan, despises Chelsea at the moment, simply because they're successful. So they'll vote Man Utd (or who cares), forgeting of course back in the day at the time Utd dominated the Premiership, they despised them!
Then theres the Utd fans from all over the globe who'll vote for Utd, depsite having never gone to a Utd game in their lives, but they LOVE Utd of course, so they'll vote for Utd should any frequent this forum.
So Utd will be the most voted for in this poll.

Re: FA Cup Final
It'll be odd to have the majority of the country behind us - but they hated us during the 90s so we don't want them now!
A full strength United will take down anything Chelsea can aim at us.

Nothing to do with the crass amount of money thrown at the 'Chelski project', nothing to do with the shoddy and arrogant business practices, nothing to do with the fact since Roman has taken over it has encouraged loads of other foreign investors to take over English clubs and put them all into debt and you say that everyone else is envious

I'm not, but I don't despise them - fair play to them. They may have splashed the cash, but it was still down to the players to gell and get the results
I'm a bit torn on this years final - technically, I'd like Chelsea to do it because Man U knocked Villa out but, on the flip side, if Man U win, at least my team were knocked out by the people who went on to win the whole competition.
Tell you what - sod it, I'm going for Chelsea, 'cos I'm sick of losing to United (at least we get the occasional draw out of Chelsea)

Re: FA Cup Final
I think whoever wins the league will do the double.

Classically enough they aren't in debt due to footballing reasons but due to the takeovers, all these foreign billionaires aren't actually funding it with their own cash but securing their ownership based on money the club will generate in the future, Villa seems to be the exception to the rule seeing as Randy is actually a fan of the club, the rest are only in it for what they can take out and you can point the finger squarely at Roman for this trend, David Moores said after the Liverpool takeover that the club needed the investment so it could compete, sorry but Chelsea can't buy all the best players.

Might be because they don't have any real fans, not from their local community at any rate, wouldn't have thought you'd find football amongst the favoured pursuits of those in Knightsbridge and Kensington

Re: FA Cup Final
I don't really care who wins but it'll be a cracking match. Should of been the first match played at the new Wembley but whatever. I just hope it doesn't come down to who makes the most impressive dive, if it's down to that criteria I think we know which team will take it.
