FA Cup Final - 18/05 1700hrs

If Foster is in goal for Watford (and I'm assuming he will be), the ref will need to bring a calendar to calculate added time for time wasting, not a stopwatch. I was at the league game at the Emptihad a few weeks back, and the fella was just taking the piss. My clothes were in danger of being back in fashion, the amount of time he was taking over goal kicks. Even in the first half, for fuck's sake.
 
In the interest of Financial Fair Play towards supporters, the FA should offer some reduction on ticket prices for City fans. Watford supporters travel costs to the semi and the final likely to be the cost of a couple of 20 minute return tube trips, whilst City fans will of had to travel roughly 760 miles to attend both semi and a final.. we know buses, trains, hotels etc ain't cheap. Hardly Fair Play is it! We all know it ain't gonna happen, the FA will continue to rip supporters off for whatever they can get.

That’s never going to happen, J.

I have been truly scarred by the pie eaters. When Wolves went two up the commentator mentioned the last time they won the cup they beat Blackburn in 1960......AAAAAGH! The Matthews final, The White Horse final, Bert’s final all pale into insignificance compared to that game you know. The nation went into mourning because the champion of the zero hours contract broke his leg in that very Cup final. No, it’s true. He doesn’t like to mention it though. I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it! Didn’t realise what Deeney had done, just knew he’d served time. Can’t see this getting dragged up by the media in the run up to the final. It’s not like he’s been in Greggs or bought his Mum a house or some such other heinous act now is it?

Surely you remember what the 1960 Final was famous for?
 
Deeney is such a cock. But he plays for a team who haven't been to Wembley much recently so that might be why. A trip to Wembley and for a semi (when it should be elsewhere) isn't as exciting as it is for Watford fans. Wait for the final pal, then you'll see an atmosphere.

Wolves can focus on 7th and doing Liverpool on the final day now. I wanted Watford over Wolves so will take that!

Troy Deeneys interview after the win v Wolves "it was a cracking atmosphere compared to yesterday"

Maybe when one team comes to stink the place out, putting 10 men behind the ball to defend, you aren't going to get entertaining free flowing football?

Hope we smash these now

He said that??!! I say we boo him every time he touches the ball in the final - should be about 3 times in all.

If I were reffing that bastard I'd be in the changing room and ram it down his throat that if the second goal kick was a duplicate of the first he would be booked for timewasting. I used to think Schwarzer wasted more time over goal kicks, and then along comes Foster! It is another example of refs disregarding the written LotG. You rarely get a goalkeeper being cautioned for the more usual transgressions - aggressive walking, if yer Brazilian and yer name begins with an F, wearing shirts of a generally lighter hue - but the one thing that boils fans' urine is the blatant timewasting we have seen from one goalie after another who seem to think that the carefully crafted plan, worked on all week, of reducing the game to 25 mins playing time per half, is a winner!

More planes flying overhead (as opposed to underground, obviously!) for them to point at. So they were maximising their day out in the big smoke, innit?

Going off the state of some I met, i'm more than happy I wont be seeing them again in May.

Tim Howard was the worst for time-wasting. He took it to a new level.
