Cup Final Day.. enough said
Anyway, today is the repeat of the 1990 Cup Final. It will be 8th Final since WW2 to repeat as a Final. Can you name the other 7? I can! It was The Beast question last night on 5Live and I had Matt Tweet in the answer. Right at the end Kelly Cates said "Matt on Twitter got them all".
All you know my hatred for the bloke on the right in the picture and I don't want him to have any reason to stay but United have to win today. 12 years without the Cup is too long. Will Carrick and Rooney get their hands on the one bit of domestic silverware they haven't touched before!

Good morning UWS. I had similar childhood experiences . I watched Grandstand unless we had a match for LHS. I hate the same bloke and have a vested interest in United losing. If three results go my way then I win the shield, but all three results have to go my way. One of them is for Palace to win the Cup for the first time ever.
The other seven are :
The Merseyside Derby
United vs Liverpool
Arsenal vs Liverpool
United vs Everton
United vs Arsenal
United vs Chelsea
I'm drawing a blank on the seventh final
Morning, chaps - thanks to UWS for getting us started this morning. This day always brings back memories of the old days, of waking up early and staying in my pajamas half the morning watching the players having breakfast, the celebrity It's a Knockout and finally the match itself. Now, those who entertained us, from Frank Bough to Dickie Davies to Morecambe and Wise are all long gone. But we still have a match to watch - and it promises to be a good one.
Good morning,
Well done mate, you got the six that I expected you to get
The one that you didn't get is obscure but I pulled it out of the bag. I could name the seasons for the these Finals except for the one missing
Merseyside was 86 and 89
United Liverpool 77 96
Arsenal Liverpool 71, 01
United Arsenal 79, 05
United Everton 85, 95
United Chelsea 94, 07
and... Arsenal Newcastle 98 and 53... I think
Thanks UWS. I would have never guessed that one. I thought about it, but thought they had only played in '98. Palace's only Cup finals have been against United.
I am back from walkies and listening to Talksport
They were reporting that media outlets were reporting that Zaha wasn't in the team but would not confirm it. Then it was announced that Zaha is starting
As for United, Fellaini is starting... I hate him but he would help us at set pieces where we have been BLOODY USELESS
Rangers have come from a falling behind after 3 minutes to lead Hibs 2-1 with fifteen minutes to go
His haven't won the Cup since 1904
The Line Ups
Team in white
Man Utd: De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Carrick, Fellaini, Mata, Rooney, Martial, Rashford

Test Match update
England are about to crush Sri Lanka by an innings
They enforced the follow on and now have seven wickets and SL still need 100+
Sports everywhere on LOB
Into four added minutes at Hampden Park
HIBS SCORE!!!!
91st minute!
Commentator says... Hibs could still Hibs this!
One minute left and they have goal kick
1902... not 1904 was their last cup win
Four minutes are up... free kick for Hibs... blow up ref
HE DOES!!!
HIBS HAVE WON THE SCOTTISH CUP FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1902
Fans are rushing on the pitch
Not good by Hibs fans goading Rangers players on the pitch.
They're going to break the goal posts
There are some fights on the field with fans
HIbs fans are going to blow it for this great occasion
MORONS!
United's final appearance ties Arsenal for Cup Finals and win would tie them for wins too
Should be United on top all the time!
Police on horses have to come out and separate the fans
Why did the Hibs fans come on... don't they want their club to get the trophy!!!!!
Hiya, boys - I cannot believe that it's Cup Final day and bloody Fox are doing a half-hour infomercial on Life Lock instead of previewing the game. Only 30 minutes of pre-match. I miss the old days.
"In what year did Crystal Palace win the FA Cup?"
"I'm sorry, that was a trick question - Crystal Palace have never won the FA Cup."
Brad Fridel on the Wembley pitch... I hope they don't have their own commentators too
Long may it continue
Who won the Cup Final in 1949?
Just to review, the following PPPers can pick up 8 points today with a United win:
Blue Devil, Chelskilad, Red Dragon, The Saint, and Yellows
Red Devil and Simon can pick up 2 points for a United loss.
Swansong, MUR, Gooner and Yellows are still in the frame for the LOB Shield.
I go into this match with a yellow card for a minor infraction during lunch. I'll have to watch my Ps and Qs for the rest of the match - no diving in with rash tackles, I suppose.
I'm back from walkies, doing chores, and picking up a cake for a going away party for one of Melanie's friends. I told her not to plan anything during the Cup Final.
I dunno that! Oh.....Brian Clough!!!
I hate FOX!!
Their coverage is awful.... about ten words then another commercial break!!
They will have at least four more breaks until kick off and come back just in time for kick off and hand over to Martin Tyler AFTER the ball has been kicked off
Be careful, mate or you will miss your first Cup Final in years.
What was your minor infraction?
Agreed. They've been disgraceful.
I think United defeated the Tangerines in the '49 Final or was it the Foxes?
I put my empty plate on the wrong counter. Shocking stuff, eh? You'll have to watch out for me when I come to visit. I'm barely house trained.
TWO MINUTES and another commercial!!
They showed Rashford and Zaha and then off again
PATHETIC
Robert...naughty boy
Idiotic Hibs fans. They were eliminated in the semis of the promotion playoffs.I wonder if they would have traded the Scottish Cup for promotion
A deserved yellow. Shame on you.
D3.14 was dropped from the entire squad by LVG... he has been horrible today but way to ruin his whole future LVG...you genius
Zaha had a brief spell with us. I've had longer trips to the bog.
I doubt it... haven't won the Cup in 114 years
I know that LVG has not been pleased with D Pi. I'm not sure whom he would replace in the squad. The majority of them have had poor seasons.
12:15 and they are back and 12:15 they are off to commercials
STUNNING!!!
EMBARASSING!!
Palace's only other Cup Final was against us.It finished 3-3 then United won 1-0 in a replay. I expect something similar to the replay since we have Ge Gea instead of Jim Leighton in goal and Palace don't have a goal scorer of the likes of Ian Wright.
Very strange stuff on the pitch for the player walkabout
Zaha was not in suit and very emotional. Getting hugs by players and that's why it was rumored that he wasn't playing... but his is... strange
BLOODY RIDICULOUS!
Their wide men scare me though
Zaha and Bolasie scare me
Back for less than a minute but commercials are gone for 3
We're back... for how long
Wembley looking good
What's with all of this parade nonsense on the pitch. Should be the marching band and Abide With Me and that's that.
They can be good on their day, but they have been part of a horrible Palace collapse the second half of the season. It all depends which players show up. The ones that were outstanding the first half of the season or the ones that were part of the second half collapse.
Looks like United fans are on the same side as they were for the Semi...with Martial joining them
The Special One on the way to Old Trafford? Your thoughts, gents.
I guess they're trying to be trendy and modern.
People on talksport say that LVG could stay OR be gone by 7 pm tonight... win or lose
WOW... Fox have been at Wembley for more that 3 minutes
They mention Martin Tyler so at least we will get him
Barton sounding like us... and being mocked by the Yanks
Kate's making a Black Russian Cake for a party we're going to after the match.
Who's this rapper coming out... to sing Abide With Me!!
I hadn't heard about that. I don't see that happening because he doesn't have any managerial experience , but it would be an interesting choice.,
Well this is not Abide with Me..... seriously??????
The Cup Final is definitely different these days - a bit of pre-match dubstep in lieu of Abide with Me.
I was wondering about it . I don't even recognize it.
Matt tells me this Tinie Tempe... a huge footer fan... gave away ten tickets to match
But still.... Abide with Me please
Apparently this is a bloke named Tinie Tempah. Don't know about that.
Agreed, UWS. Quite enough of that.
Fox is actually staying at the Stadium
Finally AWM
Finally, it's Abide With Me.
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Play like the first half of the semi but score four and not just one
HERE COME THE TEAMS
If United win then the PPP is between Gooner and Yellows. If win it's between Swansong and Yours Truly.
Lovely. Now the teams coming out of the Wembley tunnel.
From the Beeb
Mr. Tempah's faffing about means that we are going to kick off late here at Wembley.
Now this is more like it, Abide With Me time. Beautiful.
The teams are out on the pitch.
Duke of Cambridge is guest of honor today
He's a Villa fan
Wembley sounds great!
That's the way I see it. If Yellows wins the final two cup finals, he'll be crowned champ. I hope he's coming back Stateside this summer, because the postage on the Shield will be prohibitive.
Lucky sod. Off with his head!
Another tradition with Martin Tyler providing the commentary. Prince Harry is introduced to the players
And the Yellows going down!!!
LOL, Bob!
Who is this moistened bint now?
Agreed, Bob. If Swansong or Gooner win then no postage involved.The playoff final plays a significant role as well.
God Save the Queen next... late kick off
The singer is not singing
Now the national anthem
Willy singing a song about his mum - how nice.
Sounds like American Idol
She sang one line!!!
What a numpty!!
Postage for the Euros Trophy will be expensive to Chelskilad...he better win it again
Nice of Wee Willie Wonka.
grandma
Fox having some audio problems now - sort it out!
Sorry, of course.
I'll Fox credit... haven't taken a break since they went to the stadium
Juan Mata is the only player in the United squad with a winners medal...that is sad!!
If Palace win then will LVG be allowed on the bus or plane back to Manchester? He may be sacked by then
Who did they say won the Cup with Palace, or did they?
Mark Clattenburg officiating both the FA Cup Final and CL Final.
12:32
Anthem time now. The singer comes in a good eight bars late - this pre-match entertainment has not gone well.
The Super Bowl it is not...
FROM THE BBC
Palace to get us going wearing their traditional stripy outfit.
United attacking the opposite from the semi
WE ARE OFF
COME ON MAN U
They're off from Wemberley
Zaha runs it straight out of play. He will have worked on that on the training pitch.
COME ON UNITED!
Alan Green BBC
"Whoever was responsible for the last 15 minutes, an utter shambles, should go away now and lock themselves in a darkened room."
First back pass of the day by United
With LVG as manager, boardroom meetings have become bored room meetings.
The first of many to come and well stated by Alan Green .
Despite my yellow card status, I've been given a beater to lick. Yum!
Bolassie wins an early corner.
Bolasie wins a Palace corner.
First corner of the day goes to the 'home' team
Set plays scare me...collected by De Gea
Twilight collects easily.
De Gea easily catches the corner.
Lucky boy, Bob.
Carrick could always be trusted but he has been piss poor this season as well
Neither team can string more than two passes together without passing to the other team then Joe ward tackles Rojo for a United corner.
Rojo gets passed but failed to cross
Corner... short one
Taken short then Jedinak heads a cross up into the air and it's caught by Hennessey
The Palace players seem to be adopting the hipster beard look.
Delaney tackles Rashford for a United corner.
Great run by Rashford
Great pace
ANOTHER BLOODY SHORT CORNER!!
Will be another short one for their third corner?
United take it short and after several short passes a karate chop, leads to another United corner.
A long one... too long
two short ones and one long long one
United's crossing has been so bad all season!!!!!!
A long one, but it's over cooked and a cross from Roon is headed back to Hennessey
The keepers are looking rather comfy at present.
I was youtubing and am watching the complete BBC build up to the '83 Cup Final... it is brilliant watching it
An interesting piece of trivia from Martin Tyler. Alan Pardew has been involved in the only two Cup Finals that finished 3-3 and was a loser in both. I sure don't expect this to finish 3-3.
United worked it through to Rashford but his effort is blocked out.
United's boring possession has NO penetration!!!
RASHFORD ALMOST IN
Soaure blocks a shot from Rashford for another United corner.
Souare heads out for another United corner.
Mata almost in and then Fellaini
Hair Bear heads wide from this corner.,
If he was wearing blue of Everton that header would have gone in
Fox's screen keeps freezing
Is it happening for you?
No - it's been okay out here in WNY.
I missed the pre-match build up to the 1983 Final because I had a match for LHS then had to go the emergency room because a London Central player elbowed me, chipping a tooth and it was bleeding in that area.
No problems in South Texas.
United not playing as well as we did in the semi
Crikey - that's not good. But a memorable Cup Final Day.
Henessey fumbles a long range deflected effort from Roon then gathers the rebound.
Martial and Rashford are the only two that go forward!
Mata doesn't go forward
Doesn't put the ball in the box
Rooney either
Agreed. I did catch the second half of the Final , which was entertaining then enjoyed the replay
Yikes about 83
Did you guys win?
Rojo straight to Hennessey off a diagonal pass from Roon.
BTW, England beat Sri Lanka by an innings and 88 runs inside three days
No. We lost 3-2. London Central had already clinched the title. We were the better team , but they took their chances.
Palace have it in the net but it's flagged off. Connor Wickham is penalized. No - Clattenberg has called it back for a foul on Smalling. Why no advantage?
Not sure why the Palace goal didn't stand . Smalling booked for a foul on Connor Bloody Whickham. He should have played the advanatage
Cabaye's deflected effort from Bolassie is tipped over by Twilight.
De Gea does well to tip over a header from Bolassie from the free kick by Cabaye.
Very lucky for United. Set pieces cause them problems again
Why did Palace take a short one?
Palace take it short and Hair Bear heads away the cross/
United let off the hook.
United go back pass again but give away a corner
we are so bad!
De Gea fails to prevent a corner off a back pass from Carrick
Atkinson has the CL Final?
The corner is a complete waste as Bob's boy is called for a foul on Blind.
Does he? I may have misunderstood Martin Tyler.
Who - Connor Wickham? Not by boy at all. Hate him.
Mata gets the ball back after losing it...saved
The championship playoff final is the morning of the CL Final and has playoff implications.
Hennessy just about palms away Mata's effort and this match has clicked into a slightly higher gear now.
Hennessey did well to push away a shot from Mata.
Paused again...I missed the foul
Did it pause for you?
United have a free kick about thirty yards form goal.
Atrocious effort by the United/England captain
Decent effort at a curler from Rooney.
A curling free kick from Roon is several yards over and several yards wide.
They said earlier that Pardew has been involved in the only two Cup Finals to end 3-3
Player in 90
Manager in 06
Lost both
Ref is Clattenburg not Atkinsonfor the CL final
Valencia wins a corner off of Souare's mug.
What happened there with Fellaini???
ANOTHER USELESS EFFORT!!
Hair Bear should have scored there!
OH!! Hair Bear heads just wide from the corner. It's another corner.
Hair Bear is dispossessed off a deep corner from Blind.
Anyone else pausing
Bolasie has a long range effort easily saved by De Gea.
Connor Bloody Whickham drags a long range effort well wide.
No pausing here. It could be LVG's tactics.
Rooney slows it down every time he gets the ball!!
Matt's friend says his pictures pausing too
United should use the speed of Rash and Kung Fu Panda against the slow Palace defense.
Getting really annoying and not better
I really think Mata has been a big disappointment for United
Will Giggsy be retained as the assistant under Jose?
It must be something in ENY. No problems in South Texas.
Oh - Rashford picked out Martial well there - deserved a better finish
oooh... Martial with a shot blocked... great move and run from Rashford
Should he be on the plane??
OH!!!!! Kung Fu Panda has a shot blocked from Joe Ward for a corner off a nice run and pass from Rashford.,
I'm starting to doze off.
I don't see Giggsy be retained. Jose likes to keep the same coaching staff from club to club. I expect a very Portugese coachng staff
Me too. One of these disappointing Cup Finals.
United faffing about with it and Blind loses the ball!!
Rooney saves the day
Zaha goes down in the area - Clattenberg not particularly interested.
We're not good enough to pass it around back there
Great tackle by Roon on zaha after he picked Blind's pocket.
A nice cut back but Mata shot blocked
Another United corner.Taken by Blind and headed away
Hate to keep saying this but United's crossing is atrocious
A long range effort from Carrick finds a lucky fan in Row H
What the hell is Rooney doing tackling back in the area?
Fortunately for United ,Palace's crossing isn't any better.
