I'll watch it as it should be reasonable football, until I get fed up of the cheating and screaming. Then I'll find something else to do.

i hate what they have done to the cup final. used to be the centre piece and climax to the football season, so many cracking memories of cup final day. sat in front of the tv all day, all the build up, seeing the teams having breakfast, cup final suits, terrible songs, used to be an all day event, now it is shoe horned in at 5.15pm on the penultimate weekend of the season with matches either side.

what happened to cup final it's a knockout followed by cup final question of sport?!

I am watching it but to be honest I didn't even realize it was on until this morning. The FA are a disgrace games before and after it? Really? They are destroying one of the greatest competitions in the world and an essential part of our culture. As you say once upon a time this was a day when almost everything stopped for the cup final.

I honestly didn't know it was on today.

So, probably not - my dose of football for today is at 8pm.

It wasn’t that long ago we all clambered for tickets to watch the Albion in a cup semi final, I wonder if all those who scoff at the cup went along?

No I won't and to be honest had no clue it was being played today until I heard it mentioned on the news this morning. No interest what so ever.

Well l guess it's very different if it is your team who is competing in it, unlike Chelski it isn't often we make an appearance at Wembley.

My ex boss and a work colleague are both 'Leicester'. Well, for a gloat, once in a blue moon.

Come on Chelsea.

(I only just remembered who's in the final )

I'm not, unfortunately, as although I'm personally not a massive fan of the FA Cup and the final is usually pretty drab, I actually think this will be a really good game.

Please don’t tell me that you watch Albion games at home on my tv as a full kit wanker

As a point of interest what’s your other half doing, all the jobs seem to be falling on you!

Yep, twice. One I loved (Highbury) and one (Wembley) made me want to cry/scream

I found the semi final against City an immense anti climax. Ended up wishing I hadn’t gone

I also managed both cup finals with the same reaction as above.

Used to be a big day, going to the offy at 2:30 to get your beer and chocolate, now it is just another game. I can not even think who was in the final last year. I will watch it but no excitement what so ever.

Ever since I was a youngster, I supported Brighton, but once we got knocked out of the cup, I wanted the team that knocked us out, to progress. Then whichever team knocked them out etc.
Leicester knocked us out, and I’ve always detested Chelsea.
