PaddockLad 17643 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 By no means a classic, but Wigan at least making a decent fist of it....brilliant save with his big toe by Wigan's goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5295 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Does anyone give even the vaguest shit about the FA Cup Final anymore. I care only insofar as it might make Wigan more likely to be relegated. Otherwise no, it's been totally ruined by the FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31195 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 It has been dying for a while but the change to a 5.15 kick off was the final nail in the coffin for the great FA Cup final tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17643 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Does anyone give even the vaguest shit about the FA Cup Final anymore. Did you used to watch the whole build up, cameras on the buses, saint and greavsie/motson "cup final mastermind" thing?.....tbh, that wasn't giving a shit about the cup final, that was more "OH MY GOD LIVE FOOTBALL ON THE TELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!" FA cup ties between teams in the same division would always get more fans than the equivalent league game in the same season. That stopped around 88/89 apparently. So the slow death of the FA cup started before skytv, for those of you who are bored by football and wish to read more on this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Soccernomics-Simon-Kuper/dp/1458771105 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46021 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Ah it's nowt to do with us not being there. It just used to be a huge event and it's barely a sideshow now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Man City have been crap, Wigan very lively. McMannaman has no end product, just wants to beat everyone as many times as he can. Someone needs to level the little thug out. [/aware of the irony in this post] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4411 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Ive not been bothered about the final since the two we were in. All the Chelsea/Arsenal/Man Utd snoozefests of the 2000s didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21983 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 It's a massive shame what has happened to this cup. Hope this goes to extra time, knackers Wigan, and they lose on penalties, with Mcmanaman ballooning the kick needed for Wigan to stay in it. I fucking hate Man City too mind.

Tooj 17 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I fucking hate Man City too mind. Their fans remind me of that charva from a few years ago that won about £20 million on the lottery. Such a bunch of horrible cunts with huge chips on their shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
