      Of course.

      Got to be honest - I've always found the new Wembley to be a bit of a corporate soulless sh*t hole. I think the Champions League final in 2013 between Dortmund and Bayern was the only moment in it's history so far where the spectacle of the German fans and the two great German clubs on the field transcended the corporate sheen of the place.

      Agreed, been twice V Cardiff & Everton and the place didn't seem as atmospheric as Cardiff, even around the ground, there always seemed to be more of a buzz whenever we went to Cardiff.

      Millennium Stadium is the best stadium in the UK. Amazing atmosphere and always helped by countless great memories we had there, topped off in spectacular style by Stevie and co in the 2006 final. Even the Welsh fans passion there during the 6 nations makes me almost a rugby fan!

      I'll have to watch it (to avoid the Royal Wedding hype...). Just make sure it's not as painfully dull as the 2007 final!

      Can't promise it won't be dull with Mourhino involved.  ;D He does have a phenomenal record in Cup finals though. Since lifting UEFA Cup back in 2003 he has made 14 finals winning 12 of them. Tactically still think no one better than him.

      Granted. He is still superb at executing a clinical game plan against big opposition as evidenced by recent victories against us and Man City. It's that reason why I think Man Utd will win on Saturday.

      Makes sense and hope you're right obviously  :D Pity Mourinho doesn't have a bit of Klopp in him for his aggressiveness in going forward instead of parking the bus so often.  :( Something that has to change next year as proven this year no longer works.

      I can't fathom how you can lose so miserably and without fight to sides at the bottom but perform so well against the top sides. Attitude problem from the players or the manager? Poor man management from Mourinho during the smaller games where they're expected to win?

      I recall Liverpool having the same problem too. Can you fathom that one out.  ;D

      Truth is I don't really know.  :-\ Might of made it as a manager if I did.  :D

      I can indeed! Teams playing two lines of defence while snatching us on the break despite dominating that's what!

      I'm not so sure, I agree that Man Utd are good in finals but so are Chelsea, plenty of experience in both sides. If Chelsea play how they were when they were chasing us for 4th spot then I fancy them to win.
      It should be an interesting game but one where I'd love both sides to lose.

      Depends how you look at it. If you analyse United,Chavs & Mourhino then you'd definitely say Mourhino has the edge.  ;D

      One of the worse cup finals I can remember, two teams that basically just cancelled each other out, won late on with a winner by Cuntandahalf and sh*t attempt at a save by Nintendo boy!!

      Defensive team vs even more defensive team.
      Well this has the makings of being an incredibly boring final...think the Royal Wedding would be better to watch.

      His Porto team that beat Celtic in Sevilla is one of the most snide teams I've seen play in a final.

      This will be the least watched FA cup in some time, not because of something else tomorrow will be any more interesting, but because United have parked the bus all season and people got bored of watching United. This is a problem for United because it means if United draws less ratings, next season they won't be Sky's number one pick anymore. Less TV revenue. I hope United win though, last thing I want is Mourinho to go. Mourinho will be the undoing of United eventually.

      Mourinho doesn't have the edge. He would flopp at most teams. He makes a living off going to rich teams and buying success. He won the champions league with Porto, which was quite good... but other than this he can't attribute much other than buying success. Mourinho will financially ruin United soon. Look at Sanchez? High wages and bog standard for United.
