First of all a big hi and hearty hello to you all,anyway im still tucking into the ale even now in celebration at a sweet sweet victory against the Chelski.
I was sat there in front of telly glued solid to action forgetting that i was in presecence of my dad and my sis but given the nature of what unfolded i figure i can be forgiven for going ape,when the first went in a let out an allmighty roar and when the second sailed in i went thermonuclear !!!!.
My bessie mate who incedently is a Chelski suppoerter was at the game and phoned me after the final wistle to say well done-i was dead choaked when he held his moby out to let me hear the strains of the red army belting out YNWA so be told - not all cockney blues are the same !!!,bring on the Hammers !!!!!!

not one mention of mickey mouse cup and oh it's only the fa cup, it is a great competition which we should be proud of winning. but it has taken teams like us , manure and chelski to take it seriously and entre strong teams.

players like momo,pepe and xabi are really taking us foward as a team and i can't wait to see how the next players rafa signs fit in to the unit, ie agger,gonsalez etc

We won't underestimate west ham because rafa wouldn't let it happen he will have been watching them today and taking them apart in his mind,

I am going to cardiff ticket or no ticket, i,ve got a fan card but no fa cup games on it but who cares the last final at cardiff our southern home i am not missing that one,

will it be as good as when mikey popped up and took arsenal apart, i don't think so!

will it be as bad as losing 1-0 to manure in the worst final ever , i fecking doubt it

but win or lose this has been a positive season,and all of the doom mongers and glory hunters should hang your heads when we go out of the champ league when the team have been playing as well as they have been this year,

sunny day in cardiff on the pis s ,role on the rafalution

The only Mickey Mouse cup around is the League cup.

The FA can confirm that Alan Wiley will replace Mike Dean as the referee for this season's FA Cup Final between Liverpool and West Ham United.

Alan, 45, has been a Select Group referee since 2000. He refereed the FA Community Shield between Arsenal and Liverpool in 2002 and the Carling Cup Final between Chelsea and Liverpool in February this year.

The decision was taken following Liverpool's semi-final victory on Saturday.

The FA has complete faith in Mike Dean's refereeing ability, integrity and impartiality.

However, given the huge interest in all aspects of The FA Cup Final, the fact that he is from the Wirral might lead to comment and debate which would place him under undue additional pressure. The decision has been taken with the best interests of Mike Dean and the competition in mind.

At the age of 37, Mike Dean is still young enough to referee a future FA Cup Final

I'll be there. I should qualify for a ticket after going to the manure game and the semi on saturday. Even if I can't get a ticket, I'll still be going down there.

It was destiny for us to be the first team to win at cardiff and hopefully it is destiny for us to be the last team to win in cardiff. It's on terms for us to say a proper goodbye to cardiff in winning style.

Hi Adam, you might be out of luck mate only having TWO FA Cup games on your fan card. With the extra game (Semi Final) making five ties so far I'd reckon you will need a miminmum of THREE games to be guaranteed a ticket. ???

I have FOUR out of the five games in the bag but with the allocation for the final likely to be LESS than we got for the Semi Final (29,000) I  think you may be struggling.

Good on you though for amking the trip anyway, see you there :D

As I said before - I believe this match will be closer than many expect.

I will go for a 2-1 scoreline, but I honestly feel it could go either way if our strikers have an off-day.
