I see ITV have pushed the boat out for next week's cup final, coverage starts at ten past two, a whopping 50 mins before ko.
Sadly, this is what's happened to this once great final

Radio Manchester is an utter disgrace.

I’m glad their funding is being slashed

Just imagine how these cunts are gonna cover the cup final

“United go into the final as the form team after two blistering wins, City not so much”

Thats the PL over.

Now prepare for a week of rag cock sucking and City smears.

Think we can do without Stuart Hall and his “It’s a knockout FA Cup final special”.

EXCLUSIVE: SIR ALEX FERGUSON TO OPERATE VAR AT FA CUP FINAL


In a shock move head of PGMOL Howard Webb has appointed the legendary Manchester United manager as VAR Match Commander for the FA Cup final tie with their smaller rivals City.

"When the great Sir Alex called me to offer his service how could I turn down such an opportunity" Webb said with his trademark beaming smile.

The Red Devils hope to defeat the state owned, financial fair play cheats in the first ever Manchester Derby cup final. As do the majority of the country who want to see this history laden club of England destroy their Arab owned Mancunian rivals.

Mr Webb also revealed that Gary Neville offered to officiate the game along with his brother Phil and Paul Scholes running the line with Rio Ferdinand as forth official. The former police officer turned down this request for fear of any accusations of bias towards the World's Greatest Club®

Lol, 9am? What year was that? I think 11.00/11.30am is the earliest I remember. But yeah, it was always the best time of the year. What with often English teams in finals of the 3 Euro comps, you had for one month every year, glut of live footy on the tv:
Cup winners cup final
Uefa cup final
Fa Cup final
European cup final
Home internationals x3

All in what felt like the space of a month.
