FA Cup Final Saturday 14th May '22

I'm finding it really difficult to justify wanting a Chelsea win, given events last spring/summer (you decide) in Portugal. And the abuse Raheem got off their fans.

But, needs must. They're the lesser of two evils.

Been wondering when the pre-match community singing of years ago died out - probably by the late '60s or early '70s? Anyone remember if it was still done before City v Leicester in 1969?

It’s the first time I’ve heard rompers about them

I remember one year it was drowned out by chants and boos. And after that, they gave up. But which year, and what teams, I can't remember.

After some googling, it looks like it ended in 1971 when the Daily Express withdrew sponsorship. All I recall is a guy in a white butcher's coat standing on a scaffold and waving his arms about.

Is it always shown on both mainstream channels?

Can't see Chelsea troubling Liverpool with that lineup, a very comfortable win for Liverpool unfortunately, will watch until they score

Won’t be watching but like the vast majority of fans I will be hoping for a Chelsea win
