True, just I was in oz for the last 2 trips so haven't been to wembley since 96, I'd got my hopes up high for this year. I've been avoiding trips to the new wembley for various things in the hope that my first trip there would be the villa in a cup final. The disappointment of not being there coupled with watching Adrian chiles and some ex pros like bloody lawrenson verbally wanking Bradford off whilst some vt rolls with us waving flags and Bradford scoring goals from corners will prob send me over the edge.
I wish both teams the best of luck and both sets of supporters a day out they will never forget-that goal by Savo, with the sun shining is still to this day the best single football moment in my life...I just wouldnt enjoy watching the game knowing how close I was to another moment like that

I'm a bit gutted that we managed to fuck it up (because I think we'd have beaten Swansea in the final), but teams like Bradford getting to a cup final is one of the things that makes football great.  I hope they win.

It's live on Sky so I won't be watching it. Bit relieved really as I've got to drive to Suffolk and back that day and would be pushing it to get back by 4.

As it's on Sky maybe I won't be watching then unless I go round the pub.

Of course I'll watch it. Just because we lost in the semi-final doesn't mean I've stopped being a football fan.
I can't see Bradford causing another upset and Swansea might well be in a position to declare by halftime - but you just never know.

I'll watch it. Nice to have a Final without any filth in it.

Hope Bradford win, as it would be nice to see a non-top flight team win a major trophy for the first time in two decades.

However don't particularly mind Abertawe winning either. Would show up and coming teams that its possible to survive and thrive in the top flight without resorting to Stoke type anti-football or Redknapp style "let's play the kids so we can concentrate on getting relegated" disrespecting of cup competitions.

Good luck to em.

Incidentally, Laudrup doesn't seem to be doing too badly despite not having the vital "Premier League experience".

I'll be watching it. Both teams deserve to be there.

I'd rather see Bradford win it and then give UEFA a good go next year.

100% won't be watching. 'That could have been us' will be dominating my thoughts if I did. I honestly doubt I will ever get over the Bradford result TBH. I still haven't gotten over screwing up against Bolton in the semis under DOL and that wasn't half as bad as the Bradford debacle. I do hope Bradford win though. It will give me a little comfort at least knowing we were knocked out by the winners.

If its on terrestrial I'll watch it, be great to see a final without any of the usual tedious suspects in it.

Exactly.  If it was Liverpool v Chelsea or whoever, I'd be avoiding it like the plague.

Would quite like to see Bradford win it, but Swansea equally deserve it for the progress they've made recently.  Hopefully they'll get into Europe through the league.

Isn't it on the BBC as well?

I will be watching it and hoping that Bradford win it. Good luck to Bradford, if any club deserves something it is them.
Terrible fire, financial meltdown and now a cup final. Bloody good for them.

Went passed the new wembley on the train the other day, it was depressing to think what might have been.
