I really hope he's still wearing that now as he disconsolately makes his way home on the Tube.

Viera getting the blame for playing a negative 5-5-0, with Zaha meant to be the central striker.
Without the loanee, their game collapses to nothingness.

They're right, you know. Without Gallagher, all they could do was revert to Hodgson-ball.
As soon as Vieira tried to attack once they'd gone a goal down, Chelsea mostly cut them open at will.

Crowds for the semi-final trophy parade look disappointingly thin.

The thought of them crowing 'you only won/stayed up because of us' as others have said does not appeal. Would rather we went down than them 'save' us

A building in tact, so it must be the bit that didn’t get burnt down?

Seems like Zaha's popularity with Palace fans has taken a dive.
Which is somewhat apt.

Imagine watching that, barely a shot on goal, and then having to lug a great big drum back on the tube.
So they’re still a one-man team, it’s just that now that one man isn’t even one of theirs

I hadn't thought of that.
Maybe they could have got into Europe and knocked out by a team from Cyprus or Latvia etc.

I was hoping for Pens and SEGW was the one to miss and Benteke goes mental at him

Oh great. Another FA Cup final featuring Chelsea or Liverpool or Man Utd or Man City or Arsenal. I am so excited.
More seriously, it's depressing the way these 5 clubs have come to have an almost complete stranglehold on the cup these last 20 or 30 years.
We have had finals featuring every possible combination of those 5 clubs, some on multiple occasions.
If another team happens gets a look in, it's usually just to fulfil the role of plucky loser. It's so boring.

Hate Chelsea with a passion, but anyone wanting a Palace win is not a true Albion fan.
Now for the bin dippers to beat the Russians in the final.

To be fair to them, this will be Liverpool’s first final since 2006.
The last final to not feature one of those 5 clubs was the 2008 game between Pompey(#twats) v Cardiff City.

Fair comment. My main thinking behind it was because at the time we were several points above them and I could just see that we were finally going to finish above them, and Palace being Palace would win the cup just to undermine and overshadow our position. Fortunately they’re now out and we’re back above them in the league

The 2013 League Cup final was between Swansea and Bradford, not the FA Cup I know but a nice change nonetheless.
