Well I will be watching it and the cricket,

Throw in a bit of motor racing and with the play offs,

We have got a great week end of sport.

I've probably missed only a couple of FA Cup finals on the TV in the last 40 years, will be watching again today as it is still special for me.

Can't see anything but a Chelsea win.

Well respected minutes silence for the victims of the Manchester terror attack.

Arsenal go 1 up.

Today's BBC prematch coverage showed how far the cup final coverage has declined. Arsenal Fan TV getting a terrestrial slot and a proper cringey intro featuring Ngolo becoming the UKs most popular name for babies and the Sanchez stadium.

Anyway Chelsea are doing a Town in the FA Trophy final after doing the important bit a week before.

I was about the post the same comment about Town and the Halifax game.  Very hard to step up again after celebrating.  

Arsenal would be in the top 4 if they played like this every week.  Even with defenders missing.

I still like it especially rounds 1, 2 and 3 as well as the final.

I actually believe that the FA & broadcasters have done more than most big clubs to damage the value of the cup with allowing Man U not to enter that time, stupid kick off times, choosing the wrong games to broadcast and playing the semis at Wembley rather than simultaneously at a neutral ground on a Saturday.

Al 3 administrative stake holders in the English game need to work harder to ensure that the competition remains famous and the final is the only game on the day not like a couple of years ago. It could be done if the administrators where not such selfish bar stewards.

Anyway so far this final looks half decent.

HT     Arsenal  1-0  Chelsea

Great final, Arsenal should be out of sight by now.

You just know that Chelsea are going to make Arsenal pay for their missed chances in the second half.
