Changing of KO times
Sky fucking with the fixtures
The FA pandering to the big guns like Fergiscum et al
Players thinking they are above the law and everyone else
Chumps league being the barometer for everything
Football fans being a sound backdrop to live tv
Soundbites regarding the 39th game rearing its head (we all know they will get it one way or another)

I am actually paid to watch the game at vp - but you know i am almost done with the the whole lot of it

I am begining to really think football is a chore

i really couldnt care two shits who wins this...

if stoke win it, its a victory for thuggish hoofball and their cretin fans will be even more unbearable...

if man city win it, then its a victory for some randomer coming in and splashing half a billion, playing boring awful football, and their fans will become unbearable...

it will be a shit game from two shit footballing sides and two shit clubs...

i hope they both lose...

Same as me. Apart from the torture that is watching the Villa I watch no other football

Man City please. Then the banner at Old Trafford (Theatre Of Dreams if you are WikiVilla) will have to come down.

It would be interesting to check out if every champions league final venue in recent years has been left unused for two weeks prior to the final. Also, even allowing for the fact they wanted the FA cup final two weeks before, surely when they did the fixture list they could have thrown in two more midweek fixtures so the league ended last week and the cup final was in it's right place. The football league fitted in 46 games in a week less than the premier league scheduled 38.
When the UEFA Cup final was at Man City a few years (Rangers v Zenit) City had to play away from home the last two weeks of the season for the same reason.

Citeh for me.

Stoke attempt at football does not deserve to be rewarded. Brutual is a very good description.

Plus Man City will be getting their chips pissed on by Yanited winning the title half an hour earlier.

Whatever you think of Stoke, they've got there through hard work.

The Birmingham City of Manchester are there because they've won the lottery.

Stoke for me.

Man City. It would further annoy their neighbours who wanted the treble.

Stoke. If for no other reason that it keeps hope alive for every other club outside the elite.

In my mind, the real purveyors of anti-football are those who use sovereign wealth to completely distort an already warped and increasingly uncompetitive sport.   

I personally don't know anyone who supports Stoke and I have good friends and close colleagues who support Citeh, yet I can't bring myself to want for them anything other than defeat.  Five years ago, I'd have been delighted for them if they'd won a trophy.  Now, I can't stomach the thought of it.

eeerm.  Once I understood it I agree with this. Stoke. Underdog stuff, typical FA Cup. Even hope JC gets a goal if he plays.

Married to a Citeh fan and watching the game with the in laws who are all Citeh fans so it would be rude not to upset the applecart and cheer on Stoke!

A lot of Citeh fans have become somewhat arrogant since they have been able to spalsh the cash and many of them seem to take delight in reminding me I now support a 'feeder club'

Stoke to win and John Carew to score the winner!

Still wish we were there instead either of these...
