We're going to Wembley!

We did it! The biggest prize in football this season, for fans. A trip to the first FA Cup Final at the new Wembley stadium.

Make no mistake, we really wanted this. We were at the last FA Cup Final at the old Wembley, and we wanted to be at the first in the new one.

So we've set up yet another meeting with the Mancs that week.

We slaughtered Blackburn at Old Trafford in the first half yesterday, but they controlled the second half, and should have scored more than their equaliser. As it was, we took it to them in extra time, and our knackered players took us to Wembley with ten minutes remaining.

At least the Blackburn fans didn't have far to go. They'd have been home by the time we were getting out of the car parks, with a 250 mile journey in front of us, on a Sunday evening, back into London. Thanks FA. Again, the travelling supporter is fucked over so that the neutrals can eat their Sunday lunch, and fall onto the sofa for a bit of FA Cup action afterwards.

Well, it will be the opposite from next season, when northern teams will have to traipse all the way to Wembley to play their semi finals, which in itself is ridiculous, to cheapen the final and the fans' big day out by making them do it a fortnight before. I suppose they have to pay the bill somehow though.
