UEFA have insisted on a clear two weeks at Wembley prior to the CL Final, so the FA Cup final has had to be bought forward and thus clash with a full set of Prem fixtures (including the prospect of the title being won 20 minutes before the teams come out at Wembley).

The preparations for the CL final are not that involved and I believe the motivation is to increase the importance of the CL over the FA Cup, hence the previous move to Saturday.

The FA Cup final is still the most watched football match throughout the world and UEFA are aiming to change that, sadly, the FA are helping.

I have heard that the final will KO off at 5:15 from next season and will once again clash with league fixtures.

They'll no doubt move the final to Dubai in a few years time.

Man City? Eventually they'll win things, so might as well get used to it.

They can move it to where they like.  As Villa fans, it'll never affect us !!

Ive watched every Cup final since 1975 but to be honest I might not bother this year, I cant stand Man City and I dont like the football stoke play.

But if I had to choose ive always gone for the underdog so it has be stoke

I want them both to lose to be honest. Although at a push (and it is an absolute push) I'd go for Stoke to win over Man City.

Is that really true? Sorry I can't believe that more people watch the English FA cup final than the Champions League Cup final.
