FA Cup Final - 18/05 1700hrs

Can’t be at 3 on a Saturday either because it couldn’t be televised unless that rule stops at the end of the league season?

1. That’s for Premier League games.
2. It was never a problem in the past.

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.

If we win the FA Cup, European places drop to 7th, and Wolves will want that.

Aren’t they competing with Watford for that position too. I’m sure that will be an extra incentive now

That’s never going to happen, J.

Because, as with the Premier League, the TV companies, who have rights to show the match, decide on kick-off time.

In the words of the old saying, he who pays the piper calls the tune.

I wasn't particularly delighted with the tune that the Alty Tit was playing yesterday. Did he get paid for it?

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?

I think I shall be in Ladbrokes and stake the amount I save on the concession. Wonder if Watford will draw the same odds as Brighton? Do we know which Whistling Wanker has the whistle for the final? Lee Mason?

All the Watford fans wont be in Watford, they’ll be in London/Wembley early doors

It’s just us that avoid the place for as long as possible

there weren't that many Watford early doors this morning, more Wolves if anything.

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!
