Did you know that there is an FA Cup Final going on today?

Incredible scenes seeing fans back where they belong. Some moving stuff, great to see Leicester finally win the FA cup too.
 
Was just saying to the wife how the fa cup was always a big deal when i was a kid. Me and my dad would go down the sweet shop, he'd get bertie bassets, dry roasted peanuts and a bottle of tizer. I'd get a whole 50p to spend on penny sweets!

We'd come home, watch the build up and the match.

It was only this morning when something popped up on my phine i realised it was the final today ?

Also not being a 3 KO is simply wrong. You’re right though it’s lost it’s special appeal. Used to be one of the only live games you’d ever get to see on TV, and as a kid I’d have been glued from when Grandstand started through to the end of the game.
 
Best final since Wigan won it a few years ago. I had a bet on Leicester to win so was relieved when the Chelsea equaliser was disallowed by VAR! It’s a pity it’s not the last game of the domestic season, instead of celebrating Leicester have training tomorrow for Premier League games next week. Doesn’t feel right.
 
Cracking goal from Tielemans, VAR is just rubbish though, isn't it? Had Chilwell's goal stood, it would have been a totally different game with extra time.

If you need to draw those sort of lines, then the goal should stand. Been saying the same all season.

It was offside though wasn’t it... it’s the sort of decision if it doesn’t get given as offside there is uproar afterwards that the goal stood.

It was marginal, and there was a handball in the lead up to Leicester's goal, which I thought VAR should have spotted. That's not to detract to the wonderful goal, and I have nothing against Leicester, an example of a Club that does right by its community and its players seemingly.
