Agree wouldn't be a great advert around the world if they just smash them.
stoke, villa, wigan etc will vouch its unlikely they will take their foot off the gas.

But they will know that at 3-0 its won its not a league game so goals do not matter as much. I know they scored quiet a few in cup games too but as its the final they may just think "3-0 end of the season this is won lets just relax" but you never know will be cheering for Pompey though.
[cite]Posted By: Chirpy Red[/cite]I don't think I have felt so little interest in this years FA Cup Final since....Well last years I guess.
Same here, no real interest in it. Will probably do the garden instead.
What's your main FA Cup final memories from when you were younger ?
Mine i reckon were the Cov v Spurs final, brilliant game and occassion, and individual moment, Moran being distraught for Man U when getting sent off
Man U being beaten 1-0 by Everton was amusing was it 1994 i think?
'95 it was. My first son was due that day, he didn't arrive till the Monday. A Graham Stuart shot that hit the woodwork and the rebound put in by Paul Rideout. I think Paul Rideout later on in his carrear put Everton out when playing in the lower leagues when he was about 40!
My earliest memory is Leeds beating Arsenal 1 nil. I had an Arsenal football for some reason and so was a bit fed up. As a young (Maternal family influenced as my Dad's not into football) West Ham supporter the first final I took real interest in was WHU v Fulham in '75.
Enjoyed '76 as I was on school journey in Swanage and the whole town had gone Soton mad, cannot imagine that nowdays. In fact I really enjoyed most fianls up until about 84/85 when by then Saturdays meant the pub or I'd be playing cricket.
[cite]Posted By: Chirpy Red[/cite]I can run off results and winning goalscorers from 1970 to about 1996/7 I reckon without too much trouble. After that they are just a blur.
Yes, me too chirps, too many Arsechester v Chelspool finals in my mind, but probably not as many as I think in reality.
Were are the Chelsea fans so quiet since they became a tourist club. The Chelsea i knew would have never let a team like Pompey drown them out of Wemberley they were one of the loudest groups of fans in the country.
What cup final was it when Leeds or spurs it might have been had a shot that for all the world looked as though it went in but somehow statyed out its quiet a famous moment i think they were playing a team in red and white strips Sunderland maybey??

1973 Sunderland v Leeds...
Montgomery made one of the best saves ever at Wembley...
Thanks redzed thats wicked. I though the other team (which you now confirm as Sunderland) won the match thats why it was so talk about. It was an amazing save so im sure it would have been mentioned if Leeds had won but as they diddnt its quiet a famous moment is it not.

You can search for it on YouTube..
It was actually a fantastic double save....
First from a diving header from Cherry and then and even better stop from a Lorimer volley...

Any team that wins the cup must deserve it & will have ridden their luck at times but I find it very, very hard to feel anything but revulsion for Chelsea.

went to the Wimbledon v Liverpool game as it was fairly easy to get tickets from the Dons
i will record the Spanners game & watch that - but certainly not getting up at 4.30am for it!!
'That goal' by Ricky Villa wasnt even the best goal in that match.
Steve McKenzies volley was far superior in my opinion .

What???

O yea i just had a lil look wicked what a keeper.
Good idea by the officials to make the goals slightly smaller.
Lampard has just tried to improve on that.....

Also pompey players crying like it actually mattered to them and wasnt just another game like some of the, as AA Sais, arsepool v manchels finals.
Shame chelsea won
