THE CUP FINAL
What great memories I have Cup Final days. It was the only thing that United had a chance of winning.
Sadly, I can't find a good ITV link for the two wee ones!

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

I have a good link for Setanta going strong. It is the from P2P, cup show and then the 9IlHAS link
Setanta's show started at nine in England
Ricky Villa is on right now... boy is he old!
Morning, Dave. I've got the same stream up through VSS. Great coverage.
I just read that Saint and Greavsie are on Setanta not ITV. I wonder if I have missed them?
I'm loving these Cup Final memories bits, but don't mention 1973!!
Here they are, Dave. Saint and Greavsie!
Talk about looking old - blimey!
They are on now. They have little snippets
They are determined to mention every losing Leeds performance. What happened to 1972!
Greavsie wants to play alongside Drogba.
Morning Bob, I missed your FOUR comments!
They're done?
Morning, Dave! How's the pool?
Ian doesn't look any different at all
Bloody cold!!! We have had rain since you left.
You could get Javier to come over and vacuum it for me.
BTW, we sold our house within 24 hours for the asking price!!!!
Great story by Venables
Take that Bloody '95 Cup Final off!!!
Great news - congrats! When are you moving?
Could be in the 20s of July
Just testing, I thought I would change my picture. None of you show your mug so neither will I!!
Right around our anniversary. Keep me in touch, eh?
Will do
My favorite memory - when Tony Adams shucked Steve Morrow off his shoulders and the winning goalscorer had to go up and collect his winners medal with a sling on his arm. Magic!
I remember having Steve Caldwell over for the '77 Cup Final because he was a Liverpool fan. I wonder why you weren't there!
Anyway, United take the lead in the 50th minute through Pearson, Case ties it up in the 53rd minute. Steve screamed in my face!!1 Greenhoff stomached it in at 55th minute! I went nuts!
Coventry last won the FA Cup in what year?
Not surprised you didn't get that one. It is in fact a trick question.
Coventry have NEVER won the FA Cup.
How dare they ruin a perfect skit!!
My picture makeS this window look so much better!
Great with Keano and Newcastle
"Not that desperate"
What do you think of JT's point about ManYoo going into the summer with a disappointment and Chelski potentially with a big win?
He can stick up his left nostril!!
Seriously, why is everyone so down on United. They lost one game!!!!
FSC have started their pre game
Wish they did a better job with pre game. Be at the stadium
I wonder why they have it and not Setanta over here?
I'm sticking with Setanta.
I've got on both of course
Oh, I miss the Strongbow cider.
Of course I'm backing Everton today. Come on, you Toffees!
Chelskilad, what do you think about that!!
Well, after JT's comment, let's go you Toffees
They're indicating that Anelka will play wide right but does he ever. In truth, it's a 4-4-3.
There you go, lad. The Toffees it is.
Your thoughts, CIA?
They're playing the Z Cars theme. Nice touch.
The only thing I don't like about the new Wembley is that the weird retractible roof makes a weird sun pattern on the pitch.
Good point
Thank you.
Here comes "Abide with Me."
Why aren't the fans singing along?
Abide with Me
Where are the Coldstream guards Get these naff singers off!!
Become to Americanized!
Here come the teams and the Cup
FSC ARE AHEAD OF SETANTA!!
I agree - don't like the gospel choir idea at all.
Here come the teams!
Kofi Annan. Why is he there?
Then they leave and go back to the studio...idiots!!
Everton are in blue. With all the pictures for the build up, Chelski were in blue and Everton in white.
Strange!
FSC go for a commercial and probably will be back after the kick off
Have you sent your scathing letter yet?
That girl is 13? Blimey!
Still in the draft stage.
She looked a lot older than that
FSC still on commercial
Back to the studio but not the stadium
Hair Bear Bunch to score today?
I've lost my stream just as the match is about to start!
A hot day today at Wemberlee
Mine is going strong
FSC are still ahead of the computer
Martin Tyler is the commentator on FSC
Lovely
We're off
BLOODY HELL
EVERTON HAVE SCORED!!!!!
26 seconds!!!
Bloody hell - I've missed the first goal!
Pienaar crosses and Chelski make a hash of it. Your old boy Saha crushes in a left footed drive.
Everton 1-0 up!
It was offside on the left wing but who cares
I'm not liking the shadows on the pitch at all.
Everton fans in good voice, and why not?
Agreed
Couldn't they figure out that there would be shadows at 3 on a Saturday in May
Essien claiming a push in the box. The ref's not having any of it.
Good pressure here from Chelski.
Don't sit back Everton
You can't have Chelski coming at you for 89 minutes and 34 seconds
Quickest Cup Final goal ever? They haven't mentioned that.
Absolutely - they'll need to weather it for a few minutes but not invite them onto them for the rest of the match.
Tony Hibbert is the first player to go into the book today.
Of course, United lost to Chelski in the '07 Cup Final, to eventual winners Portsmouth in '08 and Everton in '09. Is it destiny?
Great finish by Saha
Could be.
Drogba's not getting any space at all to work in.
Thomas scored a great goal last night. He scored the first in a 4-2 win
HE ALSO GOT BOOKED!! He was a nothing tackle... the ref was blind
Groin surgery in Holland?
That's what she said!
Nice job, Thomas!
boom boom
Thank you, Basil!
When is your anniversary?
I wouldn't know, I wasn't invited to the wedding!
Now, now....
July 26.
It's our 11th this year.
Well done
Hair Bear nearly in there.
Hair Bear Bunch almost in there
Jinx!
Crossword help
Spock speciality
5 letters
I just got the Spock clue!!
Ale Container?
6 letters
You're no help.
I got all of the crossword finished with no help from Doctor Bob
Drogs with the bullet header!!
1-1
GOAL! Drogba with a free header.
1-1 Game on!
Sorry, you needed to give me more time!
Was ale container a "flagon?"
Spock speciality - "child?"
Yes it was
Spock?
Good Cup Final so far!
Or is it Mr. Spock from Star Trek - then "reason?"
Cracking match for sure.
Wrong Spock
Nasty challenge by Essien
Fellaini's rolling about and Essien's in trouble here. That was a nasty challenge.
Should have been in the book.
Much worse than Hibbet
Which Spock then - Dr. Benjamin or Mr. Spock from Star Trek?
Jinx
Star Trek
109 degrees on the field!
YIKES
Martin thinks it's going to be Chelski's day now. I'm not so sure. It's been reasonably well balanced, with perhaps a nod toward Chelski.
My prediction is that if CIA keeps lurking without posting, Chelski will lose.
"Reason" then? Or something like that for Mr. Spock.
Still goalless at Hampden Park between Rangers and Falkirk
Hibbert is wearing long sleeves
If I'd known that the Jock Cup Final was on today, I'd have had haggis for brekkies.
answer
Logic
Ah, logic. Yeah, that makes sense.
On to the Sudoku then.
it was logical!
Sudoku started
Both league games were scoreless between these two
I've got the "Hair Bear Bunch" theme running through my head. I wonder why?
"In the Wonderland Zoo..."
Good attack from the Toffees there. Deserved a goal.
Now you have it in my head
Cahill challenges Cech. Good to see Cech not rolling around after the challenge
Wonder how Cech feels with his headdress in this 109 degree heat
1533: Falkirk are enjoying the majority of possession (59%) without creating too many chances and the Rangers fans are registering their disapproval.
Cashley is wearing underarmour.
Cech has to be boiling in it. Bet he has serious hat-head after a match. Of course, that's something I never have to worry about. You?
"Ah, we don't even fight..."
La la la.
all the time
You and Dick do have an advantage there
Nearly half time now. I'm all packed up. Off to the airport in a moment or two.
Hair Bear should have done better there
"Help, help, here comes the bears..."
You're going to be singing that on the plane!
I have a feeling that this one might go all the way. I might be in Atlanta before it's all over.
Hopeless shot by Cashley
I bet he takes his underarmour off at half time
Definitely.
Hi Guys .
Enjoyed reading your first half comments . I expected more rudeness towards Chelski . Very interesting !
Good crossword clues . Though I got them both .
What exactly is underarmour?
Ah, there you are CIA. Now, I'll predict that Chelski will be the winners today.
Mistake by Cech
Could Chelsea regret it?
No
HEY TONY
RUBBISH... you never heard of FLAGON!!
I thought DeMatteo had scored the earliest Cup Final goal but no. Saha beat some bloke who scored at Crystal Palace!!
Half time
Good game so far
Have a safe trip Bob
Talk to you in Florida
Half time then. Good value for money in the entertainment. I wish I could stick around with you for the duration but as you like to say, Dave, my timing is rubbish.
Cheerio, lads. Enjoy the second half.
1546: "Neither goalkeeper has had a single save to make in the first half." BBC Scotland commentator David Begg
Dave .
I have had more than one Flagon of Beer in my time .
Take care Bob
Sticking around Tony?
Watching the Setanta half time stuff
I stand corrected
I am back.
Was in the loo for the beginning of the second half
No shot on the Chelski goal since the goal at 25 seconds
Bugger
Rangers have taken the lead at Hampden
Everton deserve to win this Cup
They have beaten Boro, Costa, United, Villa and of course Macclesfield
Anelka just hits it over
Bollocks coming on for Essien
Hi Dave .
I'm back . I had a few things to do .
I missed the start of the second half
as well . I haven't deserted you .
But I don't type as fast as you .
I'm happy reading .
as long as I am not alone
Do you want to cut the grass for me, Vacuum the pool after the game?
I'll do the pool . I'm allergic to
freshly cut grass .
I'll see you in half an hour then
Wouldn't that be nice .
Did you get my email this morning ?
Saha has a bullet header over the bar
Could and should have done better
no I didn't
I was laying in bed last night and thought that I hadn't replied to your other email. I replied right when I got up
Nothing new from you this morning
I did get a couple from Mike
20 to go
Lamps with a scorcher
Great goal
Howard could have done better
Lamps celebrates like his dad did in the '80 semi. Runs around the corner flag
Lampard Sr scored his goal and ran around the corner flag in the Semi against EVERTON
Malouda hits it over... he was offside but not called
Good Goal .
Now that I think about it , maybe I
didn't send one this morning . At
least I thought about sending one .
Lamps has scored 100 goals in the past five season for Chelski
Saha goes off
13 minutes to go
Malouda has a swerving shot and it hits the crossbar. Was it over the line?
Malouda's shot went in!!
It was definitely over the line
10 to go
Lamps get booked for diving in the box
He did make the most of it
under 5
Sorry I had to leave you . Someone
just came to the door with some Yankee stuff from the base .
It was a definite goal !!!
About to go into injury time
4 minutes of it
Yankee stuff??
That is it
Congratulations Chelski
The domestic season is over
The last of my Woodside career.
Next season it is Via Lino. Let's hope United are just a successful at that address
Congratulations Tony
Off to do yard work after the presentation
Take care
Thanks Dave .
I'll email you later .
A disappointing end to a disappointing season, IMHO. I'm hoping for much better from the upcoming 09/10 season, including promotion for the Leeds boys and an England win in WC2010.
