Hhahahaha, I'm not pissed and the score was definitely 2-1. Although the Chavs did have a 3rd goal not called.

congrats to Chelski on winning the FA cup. was sure everton was going to sneak a gola towards the end but wasnt to be.

goal even...

[Bully]

whats the go with the ticket allocation to both clubs who make the final in FA cup? heard during commentry that its only 25,000 for supporters for each club? so the rest must be members of other clubs yeah?
sounds like its the same as AFL final, only a few tickets actually go to the clubs playing and the rest is members for other clubs etc

[johntheclaret]

It's always been like that Bully
I think every league player from every club gets tickets too

DA, thought this was going to be the most borining fa in history is was probley the most entertaning fa cup final since the liverpool v west ham game a few years back, all the goals were good, including the one that never was, result for me was great and we gave Guus the send off he deserves

Flying high up in the sky, we'll keep the blue flag flying high, from Stamford Bridge to Wembley we'll keep the blue flag flying high.

It's turn out to be a good season for my teams Lazio and Chelsea both won the domestic cups

[Pidge]

Yeah 2-1 it was.. just that Chelsea always get on the wrong end of decisions... being eliminated form Champions League semi finals when balls dont cross the line, not making it this year due to blatant cheating and then last night that was a clear goal... I though it was when it was live and the replays confirmed it.

Get real son all teams benefit and suffer at some stage .. I can recall 2 incidents in your favour, one a ridiculous penalty that salvaged you a draw at Anfield the season before last, and if Im not mistaken you won an FA Cup from a poor non-decision when you conceded a goal to Man U but it wasn't awarded.

[Pidge]

Great strike from LOUIS SAHA!!! and inside the first 30 secs too. Also I thought Malouda would have got MOTM.. he was fair rampant..

[Bully]

when was it last time there wasnt 2 premier league teams playing in the final?

[Il Duce]

Never, there have been several winners and teams in the finals from outside the top divison but there has always been a top divison team in the final.

[Bully]

Never, there have been several winners and teams in the finals from outside the top divison but there has always been a top divison team in the final.

surely in its history 100+ years what ever it is it has had 2 teams that arent in the top DIV playing out the final

[Il Duce]

Nope, I've even double checked it cause I didn't belive it myself but untill I see evidence to tell me otherwise, no final has even been contested between 2 teams out of the top div in the 128 year history of the fa cup.

[JK]

Didn't Watford and Milwall playoff in the final some time ago (maybe 1983 or thereabouts?) ... If thats correct maybe Watford were in the top flight at the time I dunno.

[Bully]

not sure but will look harder into it on weekend maybe. maybe wharf is right but need to see for myself.

[Il Duce]

I went and checked it up once more and I'm gonna post the final teams underneath here remember the first football league season started in 1888 and all the teams in the finals prior were in the top divison in the own league i.e Northen league, Southern league and the like.

FL = Football League prior to the introduction of a second divison
FA = Football Alliance later joined the football league and a second divison was formed
SL = Southern League
