So we are in the Europa league next season, as Man Utd won the f.a cup. We deserve to be there despite the way we eventually qualified. We also need it to attract better players, maybe lacazette is waiting to see if we qualified! Anyway did anyone see the game? 2 hours of football 3 minutes of highlights! Hard to watch as we needed Man U to win but I don't want them to win anything. Jesus the thing that struck we as the most shocking was how bad smalling is! An England regular and he was dire, embarrassing that he is probably regarded as an England mainstay. Looked totally out of his depth when under pressure.
Smalling is never international class!
But just as embaressing was clattenburgs refereeing!!Palace were robbed imo,& i wanted them to win even though it would have cost us a place in the europa...Also what was all that about?the razzamatazz before the game,tinie tempah?? on stage,i was cringing & thinking what the hell has happened to our great game & the most famous cup competiton in the world...
I can't see mourinho keeping
I can't see mourinho keeping smelling in the team surely! No he is never international class player. We have been linked with him a few weeks ago for 20 million! I'm worried he will end up here! He does some things very well but but his bad things are the worst in the prem! Did you see his play in our last home game which resulted in Carrolls one on one with de gea! As for the final itself what have the fa done to it? Totally destroying it! Why is it not at 3pm? As for razz luckily I only saw the game. Stallings performance was the only thing that over shadowed flatten burg. When do the refs realise their best performances are when we DONT realise they are there! It did at times look like he was biased toward Man U. First time I'm beginning to think video evidence, that way refs bias or just plain in competence will be high lighted! As for my wish next season it's about time the fa clamped down on the wwf that masquerades as defending at corners it's got well out of hand!
I hear we may have to play
I hear we may have to play our early homes games at another ground as they are unsure if the o.s will be ready. White hart lane anyone? Or do we need a better ground? Remember it IS gona be small fry we are playing, so we don't need to worry about impressing anyone at a small poky tin pot ground.

We could always strike a deal
We could always strike a deal with Arsenal if the OS is not ready on time, but I suppose that depends on ticket demand, Spuds won't entertain us for sure, we won't want to go South of the River so it is either Emirates or Wembley which would seem sensible.
Sorry Plaistow, that was a
Sorry Plaistow, that was a bit tongue in cheek mate. Designed to undermine a small time team in white.
I read that too RNI..
Smalling linked to us for 20 mill,nearly spat me cornflakes out!!also mate 5.30 kick off for the final,why not keep it at 3,but like the ridiculous razz before the game,times have changed im afraid...us people with a little bit of nostalgic sentiment are a dying breed by the looks of it!!;) As for clattenburg surely the first thing a ref learns is how to play the advantage?3 times he stopped the play & the first would have been a certain goal for palace... also agree about the wrestling in the penalty box!!;)
My sentiments exactly 65 but
My sentiments exactly 65 but it the history and nostalgia that made the cup what it was, they have belittled it mucked it about and now looks like it should take place inside the Magic Kingdom! People need to realise everything that foreigners love about Britain is history and nostalgia take that away and what do we have? Nothing. How long before the final becomes a midweek game? Personally I like the spell check that changed clattenburg to flatten burg and smalling to smelling! Great that ticked me enough to keep it in.
Just read from next season
Just read from next season refs are gona be able to ref games that effect their teams! If true. Well done again the fa. As if the bias and poor refereeing of games wasn't bad enough this season to make it fairer they add the possibility of effecting the position of teams in direct competition of the team they support! Isn't about time these idiots who run the game retire and employ replacements with brains and sense to run the game. Fa = poor mans fifa
Like you say Red!
Well done the F.A!!
