Just booked my train and hotel for the final. Going Friday at 5pm, come back Sunday afternoon.

Wasn't Moss the referee when Helenius was through on goal and the Vertonghen pulled his shorts down, but we didn't get a penalty?

Don't think he's usually that bad a ref.

Yep, he refereed that one.

This season he's only reffed our Premier League games against Albio (1 win, 1 draw) - no red cards.

He's reffed 1 Arsenal game - a 2-1 win at home to Palace, sent Puncheon off last minute.

Last season he reffed a 4-0 and 3-0 loss against Spurs, a 2-2 draw against Liverpool - he gave that Suarez penalty to give them a point; and the 3-2 win away to Southampton.

If we win on the 30th,do we become the first club to win the cup in 3 different centuries ?

Nope, Blackburn, Preston, West Brazil, Wolves, Forest and both Sheffield clubs have successes in the 19th and 20th Centuries so we'd best win next month to be on the safe side.

I could be wrong but I thought Forest had only won it once, in 1959?

No Forest won it in 1890s,that surprised me as well.But winning the cup in 3 different centuries,thats class that is.

Jon Moss is refereeing.  Wasn't he the drummer in Culture Club?

Yes that's him and he makes the assistants flags from his old drum sticks.

Just realised extra massive game for Tom Fox v Arsenal.

Jo n Moss, the slowest, fattest ref in the league on the biggest pitch....should guarantee plenty of Dowdesque guesswork from 40 yards away going on.

Will it be us or the gooners who are slaughtering him the day after?
