The FA Cup Final : Crystal Palace v The Bore Merchants

[summerisle]

Used to be one of the highlights of the season until Manure took the filthy lucre. Will still watch it, and I would imagine everybody will be rooting for Crystal Palace, I know I am.

UP THE BRIGHTON!

Oh.

binned off replays that were what kept some smaller clubs alive over the years.
allowed by's to let club world cup rubbish happen, as if anyone cares about how man utd do against skrongeflop fc.
binned off the official last game of the season, so it was all wrapped up with the showpiece game the end of the season at wembley.

Hate the fa cup now. And this weekends final is full of conflict. Want Palace to beat city, but if they do, I expect one or two palace players to be winning the charity shield* for city in august.

community celebration cup*?
committee thinking, means nothing opening fixture to a season trophy?*

Football needs a Palace win.
The scab 6 can GTF for all I care, we really should have let them go to their grubby little European league.

If Palace beat city, City won`t be in the charity shield in August.

I remember learning of a soccer team called "Crystal Palace" back when I was like 7 years old (in the USA in the mid-70s in and born to parents who knew nothing about footie) and it was like this magical place that I always wanted to visit. Their magical name has always stuck with me, so I tend to support them as long as they are not playing Everton.

Mateta, Sarr, and Eze are some incredible signings.

They never tried to leave the Premier League, they wanted the money from both in perpetuity.

Preach. The scab clubs successfully lobbying for a reduction in cup fixtures so they are more competitive in a competition that has been artificially expanded (and now restructured) purely for the purposes of revenue generation of the wealthiest clubs in Europe is one of the most distasteful things that's happened in our domestic game.

I'll be watching because I bloody love the FA Cup. Hoping Palace win - still have fond memories of their cup run in 1990 with Wright, Bright, Solako and Nigel Martyn. Don't have fond memories of anything Sportswash FC have done.

You are on a different list altogether.

Lads, I am delighted that we have your support tomorrow. I like to believe my influence over the years (almost missionary work if you will) has enabled you to look heavenward and see the light but I know that really it’s your deeply ingrained loathing of the other lot that has brought you here.
For myself, I shall be with the many splendoured South London hordes, lower tier, back row, behind the goal, clad head to toe in cheap, flammable red’n’blue Cup Final tat, singing my heart out and wanting to sit down after 20 minutes. Think of us, Footballs equivalent of the Tolpuddle Martyrs for the day, pelting the walls of capitalism with delicious Pie & Mash, daring to dream - it’s just one match, there is always hope!
(note to self; No, there isn’t).

This your house? @Alan Whittle

It’s very much a Croydon and surrounding area thing. It was done in 1990 and to a lesser extent in 2016. Lovely to see and in a way redolent of old Cup Final tradition.
I live in the West Country. It’s bad enough that they think I must be related to the Krays round here.
