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.

Same. I won't be watching. I'll still be down in London after Arsenal away. Staying over in North London and a night out in Camden is planned. Using the pre-booked train tickets I had hoped I'd be using for Wembley.

No. I will be on the train back from London glowing in the aftermath of a win at Emirates the day before!

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



Reading that, I had the same rueful feeling about schools teaching spelling.

Won't watch it as it's not on BBC.

We really should be there.

As it's not on BBC or ITV I won't be able to watch it. Hope Bradford win.

I'll probably watch it and would love to see Bradford win it.

At what point does the new Wembley just become Wembley?

When the generation of posters who went to Wembley (to see Villa or England - or anybody, really) become Ghostriders In The Sky.

2120 should be safe.

Seems I'm in a minority but would prefer Swansea to win, think they'll play Bradford off the pitch with their superior passing.

Yeah they're welsh but a great example of a club who were going down the toilet, survived and then just started making so many right decisions in the last 10 years even with a few good managers leaving. Their football is superb aswell so a fitting reward would be a trophy.

Bradford have done amazingly just to reach the final and turning over us and Arsenal should be enough for their fans to remember for years to come.

I honestly couldn't give a fuck about this game. I'm not against either side but it doesn't hold any interest for me, just like any final not involving Villa (i.e. most of them). And I don't care if Bradford complete their amazing journey.

Seconded. To be honest, my interest in any cup competition ends with the final whistle of the game when we go out, which is most of 'em. Keep your romance for your Mills & Boon.

much more likely to be watching Swansea v Bradford than say Man utd v Chelsea

i'm not even sure the sponsors will be to upset either,
 i realise the viewing figures would be higher with a top 4 team involved but their fans dont really give a shit about that cup, and it would be instantly forgoten by everybody

so a genuine cup dream story with Bradford against a smallish premiership welsh side will be talked about far more in my view, and make for a more interesting final
i dont think it will do the sponsors any harm at all

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