Yeah, they've spent a shit load of money and have a team of unlikeable players, but the fans have always been great, even in our league they filled their ground pretty much and their away support was superb. It's their first trophy in 35 years. It was nice to see that it meant so much to their fans.
Pity for Stoke, would've obviously preferred them to win, but not overly bothered either way to be honest.
Pity for Stoke???
Fuck em...
They tried to intimidate and lay the boot in (as with all games) and failed....reminded me of Crawley.
Huth can rerun the DVD to his grandkids....nice!
For the sake of football this was a great result...and Stoke got found out...at last!

Have to agree from what I've seen of them this season. Can't comment on this afternoon's game cos I was at an U9s tournament (with my lad, before anyone starts!) |

Same. Hope you got on better than our lot did - gave a good account of themselves playing against sides in higher divisions than them, but didn't manage a win (or a goal). Still they all enjoyed it, which is the main thing |

Lost in the final to Shaw. 0-0 at full time and they got a golden goal in extra time. |

I was looking forward to this final as for a change it didn't include Chelsea, Manure or Arsenal. But that was dire. So boring. No wonder people can't be bothered with the FA Cup anymore. Did Stoke even try and win that game? Their tactic was to try and hold out for penalties.

It's not far off them though. 07 was probably the worst i'd seen. There were some cracking finals when it was at Cardiff. Since it's returned to the New Wembley they have been pretty poor. What happened to teams attacking and trying to win? 2006 was a great final between Liverpool and West Ham as both teams attacked and tried to outscore each other. That's what I always thought cup football was supposed to be about. Especially cup finals. |

Yes, Devizes - it was a mixed team today from A and B teams. Got the Chippenham tournament tomorrow, registration at 8:15. There was a good atmosphere there today - some tournaments get a bit intense with the parents crowding the pitch. I love the tournaments at the end of the season - it is nice to play some different teams. |
