One of the biggest wankers in football? - Dave Whelan?
What about Pulis? David Bentley? Joey Barton? Marlon King? Sepp Blatter and the other corrupt prats at FIFA? Platini? Terry? Suarez? Cashley? Evra? Nasri? Pardew? Sheringham? Sherwood? Collymore? Clive Allen? Pepe? Mourinho? Ryan Shawcross?... the list is endless... Dave Whelan doesn't belong on that list, surely?
Jaysus that is one illustrious list of w**kers Whelan is more of a d*ck than wanker.
Don't give a flying who wins.
Would prefer Wigan after extra time on penalties because it kills 2 bird with one stone, knackered Wigan and f**ked off Mancs...honestly bluemoon is worth a read to show it isn't just a Chavs/London thing to become w**kers afte a bit of bought history
Not cared less about the FA cup final since 05'.
They've all been foregone conclusions since. The favourite gets a minor scare but ultimately buries the underdog.
The last game I cared about was the last 2 semis the scum where involved in.
I loved them being d*ckied 5-1 by the chavs. What a collapse that was and when 'Arry and little old mortgaged to the hilt Pompey beat them 2-0with KP-Boateng getting the winning penalty. It was even sweeeter that they'd dumped him on Pompey.
I enjoyed that evening no end.
Next time I will give a toss about the FA cup will be when an Arsenal manager starts taking it seriously again.
Okay,
Maybe I am a bit sentimental when it comes to the F.A. Cup.It was because of the '71 Final that I started supporting Arsenal.I have also been to many "Semis",(calm down Hashkads!),but only one final,so far.......2003 against Southampton,1-0 to us,Pires!!!

It's Wigan for me,because of,
1) The Underdog thing
2) The Dave Whelan thing,and
30 The fact that "Citeh" fans have become a real bunch of arrogant pricks since the money arrived!!!
Sky dont have the rights to the FA cup itv and espn do. Carry on
Yeah,but it is not a seprate direct debit,it comes off as part of my Sky bill!
Talking about ESPN,Sky have e-mailed me,saying that my subscription to them ends in July,(due to B.T. winning the right to show some Premier League games).
Has anyone heard what deal,(if any),B.T. are going to offer to Sky subscribers?
Another example of the FA cup being ruined apart from the evening ko. Get some tenors to totally drown out any atmosphere in the ground pre match.
What ever happened to the brass band and both sets of fans booming out the song, certainly in years gone by when we were at wembley its was a spine tingling experience.

Tyldesley has just said the Shitty/Wigan match last month was won by the goal of the match.....in a 1-0 win by shitty Clive it's quite possible it was the only goal in the match
This has been a dreadful game so far. City are so fucking pedestrian, it's like watching us - their creative players are getting on the ball and finding themselves surrounded by three or four opposition players with no team-mates showing any decent movement.
That Tevez chance was the first time they've introduced a bit of tempo! Great save but terrible finish, shouldn't have given him a chance.
But it was a delayed and theatrical fall because if there was any contact then it was nowhere near enough to bring him down ordinarily - hence why it wasn't a pen.
Piss-poor game, Citeh doing as they have done for the vast majority of the season and turned up expecting to win without having to put a performance or a shift in.

We've seen less contact falls get given. Just seen it again...that's a penalty and a bit of a stupid tackle to be risking by Zabaletta. Yes I know he got away with it, but if the ref gives the penalty, then Shitty would have to be down to 10 men.
Just seen the BT ad for their coverage of EPL. If you ignore the ape at the start, TV5 turns up with Welbeck...does that mean this will be the first summer we are not selling a captain for 5 years.
Agree with you, this final is awful. Wigan need to score to get the Mancs to wake the f**k up.
