FA Cup Final 2018

[ruislip bee]

Got to the end of the season and just realised I had no idea who was in the final so divorced and disinterested have I become from the premiershite and cup final and who's in it. Don't have Sky or BT so the only TV football I see is Channel 5 Championship and below although I did watch some early FA cup rounds on BBC I think. Never watch MOTD on BBC as always out Saturday night. If we ever get promoted this will have to change! So it's Chelsea and Man City I understand. I probably give that a miss too!

 

[hanworthbee]

Nope...Chelsea and Man Utd....

 

[nick logan]

Man United v Chelsea and i will be watching

115 quid a ticket as well
Official price as well

515 kick off time
Rubbish

If you dont have Sky
The BBC have had FA Cup all season

Cant believe a football fan does not know who is in the Final

To be honest in recent seasons, I too have struggled to remember who was playing in some

finals, especially when Arsenal kept winning beating the likes of Hull City and......can't remember the others now

 

[SpiderBee]

Will miss this again and for the 4th year running. Love the FA Cup too.

Played from the age of 7 to 40 now 63 going to Bees since the age of 5/6 when my mum worked for the club, ST holder for 30 years. Think I am a football supporter!

Love the FA Cup (and would love the Bees to have a decent run sometime soon!) - it should always be 3pm on a Saturday, after the end of the league season - with a full build up on TV - Cup Final Mastermind, Cup Final It's a knockout, follow the team coaches heading to Wembley, etc. etc.

I'll be attending a wedding this Saturday but hoping it will be on a screen somewhere at the reception!!

Only if you went to Barrow...... I too am 63 and couldn't tell you who has won the cup over the last 25 years or so. I reckon there are a lot of us who love Brentford but actually dislike football.

I am not doubting that bit at all

Its your statement about not knowing who is in Cup Final

That one in Windsor ??

The damage that Man U~d did to the lustre and appeal of the FA cup by not fielding a team all those years ago when they were in the World Club Championship has never been repaired

 

[westwing]

Not watched the Cup Final for more than 10 years

I only noticed a few days ago. It's not what it was.

Well it won't be if football fans don't watch it :lol:

 

[Fleet John]

Man United v Chelsea and i will be watching

Me too, really looking forward to it

 

[Humblebee]

Won't be watching either, as haven't done for years. Take no interest in Premier League either and never watch MOTD, just Championship on C5.

FA Cup Final should be a 3.00pm kick off

 

[The Pipe]

Just out to get my paint so I can watch it drying on Saturday!!!

We are showing both Rugby games and the cup final on Saturday at the pub, place will be packed for the Rugby and just the odd straggler ( or Man U fan) watching the football. The Rugby will be exciting the cup final.............................

Also the messing around with dates in previous years and having the semi finals at Wembley is not helping. Ultimately staying in the Prem is more important than winning the cup for most clubs so it was always going to suffer. Even we've turned our noses up at it in recent times which is ridiculous.

 

[Holysmit]

I wouldnt say dislike but i dont watch much premiership football as im so disillusioned with it.

 

[Nada Bee]

Agreed. If it wasnt for WH i wouldnt even pay attention to it.

Agreed,and now with Tottenham there as well

 

[Longhope Bee]

I’ll be watching but this year really don’t want either team to win. Maybe it can be abandoned somehow?

Come on United !

 

[The Pipe]

Come on United !

Oh Nick, unless there is a fishing smiley missing you have gone so far down in my estimation!!????

They are playing Chelsea

 

[nocoat]

another united fan here.

 

[Fleet John]

United are the team for me.

 

[Wise old Bee]

United fans are nowhere near as self-regarding as Liverpool's but, given the choice, I would favour anyone against them. Not sure if I can be arsed to watch this game but might listen to the wireless in my garden.

 

[Humblebee]

Given the choice between the Cup Final and the wedding, I think I'll just sit in the garden....

 

[SpiderBee]

Chesea win and Liverpool for Champions League. How annoying would that be to Manure?

What is this thing called rugby?

Played by men with odd shaped balls!

Go to the pub and watch the football , worse than bloody mumsnet> on here

 

[whyteleafebee76]

Another one for United here, don't ever want to see Chelsea win silverware.

[BURFORD BEE]

United are the team for me.

And me. Been my second team ever since Munich. Cried when that happened when I was at junior school.
Watched them a lot in the sixties.
They were simply the best!

 

[beebopalula]

I have no interest in it anymore. It's another part of our traditions killed off by the Prem and money. However, l still collect cup final programmes. I have every one including replays since 1951. The latest is on its way to me in the post. I don't read them. Just put them in the boxes with all the others. Weird obsession or maybe nostalgia.

 

[wanderer paul]

Sean Dyche talks well on football in general. A good listen, even if he has a gruff voice!

Who to win today? I don't really care, as long as it's a good game.

Great to see Mrs Wilkins being given the honour of presenting the winning Captain the FA Cup. The FA have made a good decision for once!

 

[Travel Tavern Bee]

So bored I may have to watch this

 

[JCMcBee]

......my dislike for man u knows no bounds.

 

[Wise old Bee]

Waiting for some creosote to dry so watching this for a while now. Close to kick off and still the Club Wembley seats are not full yet.

 

[sonofabee]

Phil Jones footballer or donkey?

For our nations sake I hope he gets an injury that keeps him out of the World Cup.

I am hoping that he gets through 90 minutes, showcases his full passing range, puts all doubts to bed regarding his fitness & gets on the plane.
The last thing we need is Tarky getting the gig, zipping passes into the England midfield & quadrupling his transfer value.

 

[sonofabee]

I think the poll would be donkey?

lol lol lol

 

[wanderer paul]

Man U have been poor and Chelsea slightly better. Poor Final so far.

As for Jones, jeez, we have some really poor CB's in the England set-up. You sure Mepham is Welsh?! lol

WP I’ve honestly never seen Jones have a good game. No pace, dreadful distribution and after that header at the far post, poor in the air.
