Come on Stoke

[beardy gull]

Get in.

Really? Dispite the huge money involved i'd prefer Man City because i hate the way Stoke play. Stoke have had a fairly easy run to the final as well. Watching the game Man City do deserve it.

And you bonus question for a clay pot, when did Stoke City last win the F A Cup? (trick question)

They never won it. First timers.

But they are the last of the original members of the first league to reach an FA Cup final.

City for me. Will be better for the PL in the long term if City can break their duck and get themselves in and amongst the usual top four. And because I think Balotelli is hilarious. Would love to see his reaction if they win. He's actually played really well.

Stoke are capable of half decent football but have resorted to their usual hoofing today. City might not be full of goals but at least they're trying to pass it. Lost count of how many times Robert Huth has punted it aimlessly forward this afternoon.

Worse than Coventry.

Weren't Accrington founder members? Have they played a cup final?

One goal a season from the long (really medium length) throws of Kerry Mayo. How does the size of the Falmer pitch measure up with Wembley's pitch?

Who are they?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

More shit from Clive Tyldesley.

"One of the longest waits in football is over". Er...35 years? I'm pretty sure there are a lot of clubs who've never won a major trophy in a hundred or so years, including us, FFS. But of course it's only the Premier League that matters...

So ITV commentator got his facts wrong then. Wikipedia confirms that they haven't.

 

[Racek]

Nice to see Brian Kidd looking well though.

 

[patchamalbion]

hahaha, 'all of my season was shit'

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Yes!! I knew Balotelli wouldn't let us down

"All my season I was shit....can I say that? But today I play for the team"

 

[Kazenga <3]

Balotelli's reaction to winning was non existent

EDIT:

I have been hearing it all week. All these presenters have said is Man City have had it really tough in the past. Tough, Tough, they don't know what tough means. They need to go and visit clubs in the lower league to see what tough really means. And the poznan, I hate it. It looks rubbish.

Oh crap why did I leave the tv

 

[NMH]

At least Stoke can say they were beaten by the eventual winners

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Nice of ITV to cut short the celebrations so they can get some adverts in. Got to have their priorities right. Bet City fans are chuffed with that

This is why, when it used to be shown on both main channels, most people went for the BBC.
