Cup Final Showdown

This weekend saw the FA Cup Semi finals decide which two teams would fight it out for the trophy in May.
Joyfully, Man Utd and Arsenal overcame their respective hurdles and will now meet each other in what will be a superb, fascinating final, both battling to win the one consolation prize left of the season.

Of course, both Fergie and Wenger will now wax lyrical about the importance of the FA Cup (Yes, Fergie who pulled out of this cup just a few years back) and how it is a much bigger prize than the Premiership or the Champions League, but of course we know the truth.

More importantly, one of the two clubs will be left with absolutely nothing this season. That should at least provide some entertainment for the rest of us on the day.

The reality of the situation is really a treat for anyone who doesn't support either of the two red clubs. All season we've heard Fergie gobbing off about experience, and how Chelsea won't last the pace. In September he said we'd lose it by Christmas. At Christmas he said we'd lose it when we had to go oop narf. When we came out of that on top, he said it only mattered who was on top at Easter. Silence at Easter, from the Manc camp of course.

Wenger has also been full of advice for Jose. Cheers Arsene. I'm sure Jose will really make use of your wisdom when it comes to your fantastic record in European football, plus your catalogue of back to back titles.

Enjoy the game you two. And get used to fighting it out for the left-overs.
