[Football] Cup Final Day!

[Washie]

Dying competition and a curse to those who get to the final who aren't top 6

 

[Stato]

ITV4 currently have a Saint & Greavsie Cup Final compilation on. It's like another world seeing Everton's park like training pitch in 1984 and 1985's Old Trafford's souvenir shop in a shed selling player photos for 25p.

Can't be bothered to watch two teams I detest. Will be sitting in the garden with my wife and a bottle of wine

I'd argue it was the worst there's ever been by far. So we're not likely to agree on the other stuff

I thought it was brilliant mixing with all the fans in the same place. Never met so many different nationalities through the time we were there! Compared to usual you only really see England fans and maybe whoever we are playing before moving on.

Given our Ecuadorean and Argentinian contingent especially was a lot of fun in the bars

I’m in Manila and couldn’t care less about the cup final

I'm in Saltdean and also couldn't care less about the cup final

Meh! ITV used to have Dickie Davies on the Wembley turf being teased by Freddie Star dressed as Hitler in wellies. Now that's a proper cup final day

Saw my earlier post then!

Apologies old boy.

But clearly great minds think alike


Just been in the pub reminiscing about dear old Freddie and his ‘specialist‘ act, 49 years ago.

Happy times

To be fair given the choice between Manilla and Saltdean, I know who wins.

I'll not be watching, but celebrating Klaus Meine's 76th birthday, by blasting out some Scorpions.

Going off at a slight tangent did you know that Michael Schenker lives in Hove?

Love Cup Final day regardless.

Still a special day in the sporting calendar. And the 3pm KO is right.

Wish Coventry were facing City for the giant-killing potential, but that glorious SF defeat was a moment in itself.

I did indeed, and he turned up at the Drummers show at the Dome, a few years back.

Wish Coventry were facing City for the giant-killing potential, but that glorious SF victory that was then stolen from them by VAR was a moment in itself.

Corrected for you! And that's why I'm not interested today. Would have been watching it if Coventry had got through - but not interested in Utd winning anything.

That makes sense. I guess it depends where you are. I’m usually based in one place for work, so don’t follow England around. Paris, Amsterdam, Rio and Moscow especially (and sadly, now) would take some beating. Apart from the convenience, there was really nothing of much interest to me in Doha. Fair to say, by the time it goes to Saudi Arabia I’ll have called it a day!

Ollie the octopus at our local pet and marine centre has indicated through shells that he thinks there might be a shock today

Weird that as Uli Jon Roth lived in Seaford for a long time.

The shock I want is Citeh to be thrashed and Ten Hag to sign a contract extension next week!
