So it's West Ham then....

Only three days till we play them as well.

I was pleased they got through - Marlon Harewood's in my fantasy league team  :shock:

Now then,.....

call me a controversial bugger if you will, but is it fair that both teams have the same allocation??

I noticed Villa Park wasn't even sold out for the semi-final..

Do you not think everyone from the clubs who attended the semi should get a final ticket and THEN split the remainder between the clubs??

Just a theory.  I just know pretty much every match-going West Ham fan could probably get a ticket, but we're all going to be selling our wives to get a ticket.

P.S. I do not condone the selling of wives for match tickets. (Unless it's a really really big game)  

I will sell my wife to get a ticket.

I'll sell meself to get one !!!!

Youre having a bit of a laugh aren't you Kidda?  There is not another team in the country as well supported, by genuine fans as West Ham.

The reason Villa park wasn't full was because Boro couldn't sell their allocation and due to segregation.

As for the final, I am delighted it is Liverpool against us as at least it should be an open attractive game between two teams with flair and fans with dignity.

50/50 has never been a fairer allocation of tickets for a cup final than it is at this one.

Cliff

Fair enough Cliff - I admit to not knowing why Villa Park wasn't sold out.

But my main point was that the reds got 29,500 tickets for the semi, which all sold out like hotcakes.

I just think everyone who attended the semi's should have a chance of a final ticket - not 26,000 tickets exclusively for the FA to hand out.

Anyway, we look forward to the game - oh and the one tonight too!

Sorry Cliff ,but there's nowhere near as many Hammers fans as there are Liverpool fans .
 I am not trying to start a fight but Liverpool are supported a lot in China and there's f***in' Trillions of them . Is that a real number ? Also in every city around the country there are a misguided few who support teams from other cities . I'll bet you know a couple of Liverpool supporters , Cliff ?I don't know one Hammers fan and I'm a barber ,so I know a lot of people. Everywhere you go all over Europe ( especially Spain and Norway ) all over the USA and Canada you see Red shirts . When you go the match there are people from all over the world sitting next to you . In fact at the last 3 home games i've been to everyone sitting around me was from another city or country. one of the only matches I've been to where I sat next to a scouser was the Semi -Final .
 I'm not saying we should get more tickets than you . That's not fair  .
I'm saying we should both get 30 000 tickets each - and thats STILL not enough .
 Anyway I digress , I came on here to ask if anyone would like to swop a ticket for the final for my missus ? Please ? she's a looker and she can cook ?

Hey Pablo, we still might have a chance of a ticket, have you read the details of the ticket selling days ?  the last section is for those of us who have got 2 FA Cup games on our Fancards, so here's hoping yet again !!!    

Hey I dont want any fights either, I have loads of Liverpool mates and think we have a lot in common with our roots and genuine passion for our teams and stuff.  It just annoys me when at the play off finals two years running both teams were given well over 30,000 tickets each and its a crime that we are both suffering because of the corporates and the silver spoon mob.

Not mentioning tonight yet .

tickets still available?

anyone got a spare ticket av got £1000 jus for 1?

anyone got a spare ticket av got £1000 jus for 1?

Mate, if I had a spare one, I would sell it to a genuine fan for face value.  And that applies to either West Ham or Liverpool fans.  With all the non-football/non-fan tossers that get them for nothing I would never try to rip off a real fan.

Having said that I paid a small fortune for a pair of play off final tickets last year.

with regards to the ticketing procedures at the FA, (and uefa) surley someone has to look at the way these are dished out, it really p's me off when the real supporters have no chance of getting a ticket. suppose the prawn sandwich brigade are happy though. :evil:
seeing as there are only two teams that get to the final, they should get the tickets split between them.
maybe someone should get a petition going, if enough people supported it would the fa bow to public pressure?

Disgruntled, Liverpool

Whose going to the final ? I'm not  ! I was in the ballot with Smigger . Problem is... all those tickets that were stolen last week are not going to be replaced in time , so we've got no chance now .
  If anyone offers you a ticket it might be a stolen one . They know all the numbers and they now won't be duplicated , so if anyone turns up with one of those the police are making arrests. So now you can't even get one off a tout just incase it's a robbed one .
 Having said that - good luck to everyone who is going to Cardiff . Have a great day .

Hey Pablo how are you ?  Don't give up mate !  the ballot is supposed to be taking place today so keep your phone on.  My mate that works there told me this so i'll take her word for it GOOD LUCK !!  

alright smigger .
                         Heard the news today ?
 All the tickets that were put aside for the ballot have gone to the fans who had their tickets robbed , so it's us who are losing out .
 How sh*t is that
I was interviewed by Granada reports yesterday about these tickets and I was f***in' fuming , but they never showed the interview , some guy called Gerrard was on instead

Oh well smiggs never mind, bet your fuming arnt you, i would be flippin. when i heard what was happening with the ballots i couldnt believe it.
                         speak soon

SEE ALL YOU SCOUSERS TOMZ IN A PUB SUMWERE! 3-1 THE POOL!

The Best FA Cup final ever Played. i nearly died when that freak cross went in but gerrard is a true football great.

i have to say tho full credit to west ham. If they had won, it would of hurt  but i would of been bloody humble they would of deserved it , i feel sorry for them but they gave it a better crack than any other team in england would have hooray for alan pardew and west ham i say, no other team would of given it a better go. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Another 3-3, and then the superb save with second left in extra time.  If Reina hadn't have got a hand to push that on the post we would be as miserable as sin now.

Once it came to the penalties (just like Istanbul) - I knew the trophy was ours.

Well done Pepe Reina...

Alright boys, What a cup final, hard lines West Ham but we are the team, no matter what is thrown at us, we can come up with the goods, namely Stevie, the world's best captain!!!! By a mile.

what a match
i honestly thought that west ham had us, i aint got a voice left now after all that screamin.
stevie g r man did us proud again, what a man.
i think its lookin very rosie for next season, we have the god fowler as well.
well done lads

What a game, Stevie was imense, i feel for west ham they played brilliantly, Me mate nearly collapsed from nerves!!

I have posted this in another topic as well but I suppose it belongs in this one.

Just wanted to say from a West Ham perspective that as disappointed as I am to have lost yesterday I am consoled by the fact that it was to a proper football club and not those plastic Russians from West London for example. Yesterdays game epitimised all that is good about our 2 clubs. Football played in the proper way. No diving or cheating. Goals. More importantly two sets of the best supporters, bar none, in England.
As for the game, we went to Cardiff yesterday not really expecting to beat the reigning European Champions and determined to enjoy the day. We had had the awful pressure of the play-off finals for the past 2 years at Cardiff and this was different. There was no Premiership place to play for and UEFA Cup football was guaranteed whatever. So to find ourselves 2-0 up was dreamland to say the least. Good goal from Cisse. Then that man Stevie G. He is awesome. I am SO glad he is English and you are so lucky to have him at your club. We were amost as chuffed as you that he did not join the Russians last summer. He is 5 times the player Lampard is.
Then we got a fluke goal from Konch and started to think that perhaps it was our day. 4 minutes of injury time signalled - then that man again. What a goal. Two keepers would not have stopped that shot.
We had a glorious chance to win it when Reina had tipped Reo-Cokers header onto the post, but Harewood could hardly walk, let alone position his body to finish the chance. So to penalties. To be honest you have so many big game players and we have kids. We sort of knew that we would lose that shoot-out. So, well done Liverpool. It was a pleasure to have participated in what they are saying is the best post-war final since the Matthews final in 1953. There can only be one winner on the pitch and it was you. Off the pitch both Liverpoool FC and West Ham United FC are BOTH winners. Good luck next season.

REINA, oh that me have some pepe

all blue noses are sh*t eads, " u got lucky" did we F**k we are the best an every team knowsit. Mourinho is shitin imself because of us, we WILL win the COMMUNITY SHIELD.

We played extremley sloppy yesterday! worst we have played all season! but i take nothing away from those wonderballs from stevie g and cisses wasnt half bad either!  its goes to show liverpool are the most amazing team ever, considering the way we played yesterday we are fantastic to have played in that way and come home with the cup! sorry hammers, you played well but we do have that edge on you !!!!!!!        

What a final :!:   Full credit to the Hammers they gave us a great game and "maybe" just "maybe" deserved to nick it.  But thankfully we have the Great One and he pulled it off yet again.

What is it with Liverpool, finals and penalities.  I saw them in Dortmund against Alaves and against Birmingham!  They're gonna give us all heart attacks

Can't wait till next season now, Chelsea better enjoy that trophy casue I reckon its coming to the Red party of Merseyside next season.

Now for the World Cup!  Gerrard for captain
