It'll be a change to see two teams competing and two sets of fans, where it means everything to be in a cup final.

I hate the gruesome site of a Man Utd or Chelsea player, nonchalantly walking back down the Wembley steps unsmiling, removing the winner's medal immediately from round the neck, then announcing to a fawning interviewer that there is a more important match on the following Wednesday.

Also, In 2010, I couldn't believe the amount of Man Utd fans who didn't even stick around to see the team lift the cup.

I'll be there with the Bradford supporting half of my family. Well actually it is 3/5ths of my family but being an accountant I decided to round it down for my own convenience!

I don't know really, but both sides deserve to be there. Also Swansea are a good example of how a club should be run on a financial and footballing level so they deserve success.

I will watch it but I will need a few drinks before and during to handle it.

I'll probably watch some of it but I couldnt care less who wins to be honest.

I hope not. I would love to see Bradford do it. It's what football is all about, or at least it used to be; the dream of winning a cup final at Wembley. Having lived in Yorkshire for about 8 years and having the misfortune to work in Bradford for a year, I have nothing but admiration for their long suffering fans. They're a decent lot who love their team, not that I'l be watching of course. I have very little interest in football other than the Villa, in fact it kind of bores me, especially the Premier League.

Won't be watching, too painful.
Hope Bradford win it though.

Nothing of interest to me.

If I feel like a stroll up the local I'll watch it. I don't think it does us any favours getting all pissy about the fact that we were beaten by the better side, whatever league they are from. They deserve their place, we don't.

And I agree, having teams involved that piss off ****** like Sky makes me very happy.

Absolutely - best of luck to Bradford, an amazing achievement for a 4th tier team to get to the final. I don't mind Swansea either, they play good football and at least it's not Chelsea or someone else horrible.

Hopefully the referee will be Halsey, so that if we get to the final in future, he's less likely to be the ref....

I will be. In the immediate aftermath of the semi I said I wanted Bradford to win. I still do just about but working in Bradford it's real overkill up here & I'll be glad when the whole thing's over. At my workplace this week we've got a sports themed week to celebrate Bradford's success. Paid £1 for privilege of wearing my Villa shirt yesterday so people could laugh at me.

I hope it was a retro Villa shirt from 1982, no one can take a dig at that!
