FA Cup Final

[Deleted]

Was it just me?

Not only didn't I watch the final - not unusual these days - I actually forgot it was on!

The prospect of one (American owned) money-bags club, stuffed full of journeyman foreigners, playing another (Russian owned) money-bags club, stuffed full of journeyman foreign players, slugging it out for 90 minutes, in what used to be 'the greatest football game of the season', just filled me with indifference.

Not just you. I remembered it was on, but chose not to watch it mainly for the reasons you mentioned. Went for a bike ride and did some gardening instead.

For many years (when I was a lot younger), it was the final game of the season to look forward to on TV. Even when I had to work on Saturdays, I would find a way to watch some of it.

Haven't watched it since they moved it back from a 3pm kickoff. I tend to lose interest as soon as we get knocked out.

I watched it and sincerely wish I had had the same approach as you three!

Non league does that to you.

Same with some match in Europe where the goalkeeper apparently made a mistake.

Wonder how long before the FA Cup final is sold to satellite TV.
