I shall be at The Ginger Gooner's house watching it on his huge HD TV while devouring a kebab and cheesy chips!

I only hope it's a great game and that whoever wins deserves it .... if it's not us then at least I will be able to escape to the Natural History Museum on Thursday. We're taking the boy to see the dinosaur skeletons!

I wish I had claws.

The singing before the game was the best part of the afternoon, especially lovely Ms Jenkins
I could look at Ms Jenkins and her funbags all afternoon but what is supposed to be a club competition seemed to be given an international twist.

I only watched half then gave up. Motty blathered on about it being traditional and reenvigorating the FA Cup, but it was a technically poor game decided by a keeping gaff.... for once not involving David James.

I was happy to see Harry lift the trophy tho.

Interesting looking around at the European leagues. In Italy the once Great Palma has been relegated. AC Milian only get UEFA cup footy.

In France, Toulose and PSG only just 'Got out of jail'. Lyon won, again...

Ajax & Benfica are still sleeping giants although, Benfica with Sven...........

Bayern Win in Germany with Werder & Shalke 04 in the Champions league. Just as boring as the Premiership.......................

Scotland? Nuff said, if it isn't Rangers it's Celtic. How long since someone else finished as Champs?
.....You couldn't hear it, if they were shooting at me with howitzers!

Valencia relegated too, which should start a chase for Silva, Villa and Joaquin.

Funny you should mention that....in the aggregate attendance figures for the season, The Premiership is the most watched Football League in the world...followed closely by the Bundesliga...with Spain's La Liga third, with The Championship (Division Two in old money) fourth...ahead of the Premier leagues in Italy, Argentina, Brazil, etc....
Bit of a Bay Window, what??

Predictability is the teams from the Championship coming straight down again.Probably the origin of the Baggies Boing Boing song.

yes but they spent £45million to avoid it and still nearly went down.Reading only lasted 2 seasons so if you dont go down the first season then the dreaded second season syndrome will get you.

I mean this in the nicest possible way Orpheum, what would an Arsenal supporter know about promotion to, or relegation from the Premiership, or the old First Division for that matter. When was Arsenal last involved is such affairs, probably pre Dixie Dean

I don't think Arsenal have ever been relegated.

It's just more useless information stored in the Batbrain.
