The problem with Sunday is that, points wise, a draw is unhelpful to our top 4 chance

Watch it pal.

Perhaps my current relative lack of interest in or enthusiasm for said Cup is based on our campaign which through Preston, a reserve Southampton team and a few pub sides totally failed in any way to light my fire.

I still don't think there is a lot of glory attached to success any more as it is simply, and sadly, not the trophy it used to be. This to me is obvious as managers of Premier League teams almost sacrifice their involvement in it on an annual basis prioritising instead a run of the mill league games a few days later.

A semi-final line-up of Chelsea, Spurs, Citeh and Arsenal isn't bad though, even if some of the previous rounds were romantic potential bananaskin fixtures.

Top dollar, and from the opening half I saw of the first match and then our own game they were both good matches to fit the occasion. Glamour final also filled with intrigue– London derby, Chelsea double which will of course lead to the footballing coronation of Conte, Wenger’s last game (maybe), Sanchez last game, perhaps Ozil, Costa.

It’s only Ray Parlour etc.

I shall be endeavouring as hard as possible to obtain a ticket to attend the game though I live each day more in hope than any heightened sense of expectancy.

Perhaps it is age that is dulling my former love for the tournament. The five ages of a football supporter, read a piece on this the other day, Guardian I think.

I have a flight to Greece at five in the morning the day after the final - it is going to get messy

Easy to forget that for most of our younger lives, the FA Cup final was the only live domestic game you saw on telly all year. That alone made it special. Now it's just another game - a situation exacerbated by the fact that they no longer televise it from 8am with long features on what they teams had for breakfast, what their dogs' names are, etc.
