FA Cup, 2020-2021

Oh shit Wes Morgan is going to make a mistake in the last minute, isn't he?

[tee rex]

I hope 93 year old Frank O'Farrell is able to enjoy this.

Good substitutions from Tuchel. Cry Havaerts, for England, er Brexit and St. George. Him and Pulisic are worrying.

[Jah Womble]

Hmm, don’t back off ‘too’ much, Leicester...

[Snake Plissken]

It’s also impossible to dislike Ngolo Kante.

[Logan Mountstuart]

"They haven't done that to Ngolo Kante'. Yes, because Chilwell is a floppy haired, mouthy twat who didn't actually win the title.

Best goal in a Cup final since Gerrard's in 2006.

[Logan Mountstuart]

Stuff yer Super League!

[ChrisJ]

Liquid football.

[Logan Mountstuart]

Yes!! Please let Leicester win the Cup. Brilliant end to a shitty season. Even now VAR had to fucking say, hang on. Glorious to see jumping fans watch it go in.

[Snake Plissken]

Woof!

[Ray de Galles]

THWACK!

[Levin]

Back of the net.

[Jah Womble]

The only real memory I have of last year’s final was being moved pub-table twice and then apologising to the member of staff for being a bit brusque with him.

Obviously I wanted both sides to lose, but I have a fifty-year record with Cup finals that I’ve somehow maintained. (Been a struggle since ‘06, however...)

Oh my word. A blooter from Tielemans!

Yezszx

[Hot Orange]

Wowsers. Pick that one out.

[Gangster Octopus]

Oh yes!

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

I literally didn't even watch last year's, so disinterested was I in another Arsenal v Chelsea v Man City type final.

The only previous one (and the first one) I remember disdaining was 2016. Signora Rogin and I were outside in the main square full of bars in Riga on a nice sunny afternoon and it got to Cup Final time, so Signora Rogin expected me to go off and watch the game somewhere and leave her to go browsing the shops. There were a couple of bars showing it inside but I could already hear the English stag do lads on the piss packing them out so I turned to her and said 'no, you know what, I'm really not bothered' and we went off shopping and wandering together instead.

[Logan Mountstuart]

Tielemans and Fofana are becoming Immense, as they say.

[Gangster Octopus]

At least I can watch this year's.

First post with my new phone...

[Jah Womble]

Other than the result, I can barely remember a thing about last year’s final. And it wasn’t even ten months ago.

I guess that, because it usually tends to be won by the same 3-4 teams, the FA Cup has felt like a bit of a procession over the past decade and a half.

[Discordant Resonance]

Hasn't exactly caught fire yet, but then, with the odd exception like last year's, they all tend to be slow burners.

[Simon G]

It's been watchable, but it's crying out for a goal.

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

Not exactly a classic so far. So few recently have been, which I guess is part of the problem.

[Snake Plissken]

Werner was a bit lucky to be far enough down the pitch for that to be just a yellow.
