Cup Final

davek · May 14, 2011

Well, that's going to be depressing. Two teams that can pick up a trophy for the first time for decades.

Cup winners since we last won a trophy (outside of the Big Three):

Liverpool 2 FA Cups. 2 LCs; 1 Uefa Cup; 1 CL.
Spurs 2 LCs
Leicester 2 LCs
Villa 1 LC
Blackburn 1 LC
Boro 1 LC
Birmingham 1 LC
Portsmouth 1 FA Cup
Man City/Stoke City 1 FA Cup

Such a bad idea putting it on the same day as other premiership games. Not cool

I'd love Stoke to get a win here

I'm just in it for the contest. Hope it's a fun one to watch, but knowing Stoke and City...

going out to birmingham and reading at home in the FA cup is shambolic. 2 no-shows when the game was there for the taking. GET A FCKEN GRIP MOYLES and fire your players up FFS

Champions League final being at Wembley

They have to leave the pitch for 2 weeks in-between I believe, still not good in any way

The FA were worried about the state of the pitch for the Champions League final, so they are putting 300 million pounds worth of crap on there today...

Yeah. Even on Man City's big day, the talk of the country could still be Man Utd.

Hopefully the talk of the country will be Pullis' Stoke

Fairly good reason...but I suspect there was a better way around it

Yep, remembering that you actually need grass for a football pitch, rather than building the stadium walls too large for enough sunlight to reach the grass and not having various concerts and other events on the pitch.
