Piss poor final.

 

Can't agree with you there gram, as Cup-finals go it wasn't too bad. I've seen a lot worse on many occasions, especially the ones expected to be a cracker and were flat and boring from the kick-off.

Probably the worst cup final i've ever watched!

 

The whole build up to it is shite these days aswell,whatever happened to following the teams throughout the day with the helicopter and on the coaches etc?

 

Plus both sets of fans would have stayed behind to acknowledge the winners,instead it's a half empty stadium.

 

shit.

I do think so of that 'magic' has been lost with none of the build up being shown. They used to show the coaches leaving the hotel and on their way to the ground, would quite often have a TV camera on the coach but I think that's all indicative these days of football being a business, not just a sport.

 

Celebrity matches before the big game are also sadly a thing of the past.

 

Not sure about staying behind to acknowledge the winners though, I left in 1999 before they got the cup, couldn't face it 2 years on the trot and I can't see many Man Utd fans wanting to see Chelsea with a cup.

Thats how much it's changed,i've probably seen every cup final since i was knee high and can always remember the winning team doing a lap of honour with the stadium still full,the fans made a day of it win or lose.

 

As for it being a business,that cup final just showed how things are these days and it does not suprise me that season ticket sales are supposedly going down for next season.

Frank Lampard must be the most overated footballer ever. Fat twat has fuck all likeable about him.

He has spent the entire game whining.

Piss poor final.

 

Nearly every none-Chelsea fan in the country hates him. Who's he over-rated by? Jose?

Well the one consolation of the game being so shit was the fact I was in a bar in Dublin jam packed with Man Utd fans. So you can imagine their faces when Chelsea scored, culminated with my over zealous celebrations made for a rather interesting afternoon in the pub. <_<

God these fans are twats, virtually every one of these FA cup legends is getting booed.

 

Glory fan syndrome "who's that? he doesn't play for us...BOOOOOO"

 

 

wankers <_<

 

I thought that was despicable, typical manUre scum.

Wasn't just ex Liverpool players, Spurs players also were booed and I heard a few boos amongst the cheers for Man Utd players from Chelsea fans. Even Everton legend Neville Southall was booed - dunno why or by who though. I think the only player to be applauded by everyone was Mark Hughes, as he played for both clubs! As you say, despicable.

Aye, Leeds too which is not so surprising, and even William got booed too.

It was embarassing, yet sadly predictable and i expected it before they announced the first player. As you say, why the hell would say, Southall be booed, there was no logical reason at all, other then the fans there being twats!

 

That said, the entire ground should have given Wise non stop abuse till he fucked off the pitch!

It was basically anyone who'd beaten them in an important game. They booed the first bloke on the basis that he challenged their keeper and knocked him out. It was 50 fucking years ago though!

 

Southall would have been booed on the basis that he was in the side that denied them winning anything in 1995. Big bastard though isn't he? I have a mate who played for Razorlight's team in the Soccer Six a few years back and had to play against Southall. Said he was as wide as he was tall!

 

Hats of to Sir Alex for shaking all their hands :blink:
