Competition FA Cup

[Boltonspur]

I don’t know why they stopped doing the whole day long TV build up, following the teams on the coaches etc. That made it feel special.
There isn’t any real reason they couldn’t do that again.

Growing up, FA cup final day (whoever was in it) was a day of footie for me and my old man.
Coverage starting about 10 am as you say and all day behind the scenes, up front and centre.
Back in the days of course when there were only 3 channels (for me at least) and 2 of them had all day coverage of the build up.
Paradise lost to be honest.

[N5 Spur]

That's what your 88% possession gives you...

In an era where we have 24-hour rolling blanket football, it's somewhat ironic that they've pared the FA Cup final all-day TV coverage down to a mere hour or so pre-match!

I remember you could buy the cup final program from the newsagent when I was a kid. We always had one. Not sure if they bother to do that now

Well done Palace. I feel Glasner, Eze and Guehi have passed their audition. Come aboard this Spurs ship and possible Champions League play or fighting for mid table. We’ll find out on Wednesday.

“Yeah, but what will they cost?!”

 

[peter merison]

Glasner has done a great job, well deserved and it's a massive two fingers up at City

 

[Habanero]

Well done Palace, and a terrific winning goal too. Sacked in the morning Pep?

 

[paddy hotspur]

Nketiah only had leave Woolwich one season to win trophies……

 

[1882]

Pleased for Palace... Just shows it CAN be done!

....I just want that to be US on Wednesday...

It's starting to hit home that WE'RE in a MASSIVE final this season.... MASSIVE!

 

[Chelmsfordspurs]

If you are a city fan and you are crying over that then you need to re-evaluate everything in your life.

Good result.
I have a good friend who is a Palace nut and a frenemy who is a Citeh and Oasis nut.
