Apparently the FAC final will be the 34th time ManC have played at Wembley in the last 15 years. Much as I want us to win stuff I don't think i'd enjoy us being that dominant. Am I the only one?

No. They were dead eyed in 2019 when were there.

One team being this dominant is not good for the game, putting aside the questions marks over how it's been achieved. The final is desperately unappealing, but the media will build it up expecting a classic whereas most fans will shrug their shoulders.

Their mooted "super league" would be exactly the same. It would ruin football for everyone, including those in it.

I'd be willing to try it for 10 years, and see how I feel then.

It's a bit mad they're going to win a second domestic treble and it doesn't even seem like they're as good as they used to be

I still like watching the cup final, but not a chance Ill be going out of my way to watch it this year, I suspect the viewing figures will be low. And no, like anything in life, good or bad, repeat, rinse, repeat is fooking dull, certain amounts of jeopardy are essential to my in particular villa but general football watching experiences
