Let's hope we can get there first and then put the memories of the past two abominations behind us.

I guess that's the first aim, but I absolutely want it to be Chelsea in the final.

So the Chavs are in London. Given that it is London Marathon day on the Sunday. You would expect there to be less demand for the hotels and communication services if the Chavs play on Sunday and City / Soton on the Saturday , freeing up hotels etc. Then again , its the FA.

Southampton have a game the following Tuesday, big game actually against another promotion rival, so it makes sense that ours is played Saturday to allow them more time for Tuesday.

The Chelsea v Leeds game reminds me of the FA Cup replay at the swamp 1970 i think. It was carnage on & off the pitch, one of the most brutal games ever. Guys like Chopper Harris & Billy Bremner didn’t take prisoners. Chelsea won, but there was a load of trouble with the rival fans. I think the two sets of fans still have animosity with each other, probably been handed down from father to son. I suspect there will be some mither amongst the rival fans. Difficult game to call, but Chelsea will probably be favourites.

Of course , three in a row could happen. It is after all a final. Someone has to win it. Let's see if City get there first before worrying about wins or losses in the final.

Soton will not be easy and they have their own liitle star in Scienza, a relative unknown that pulled the Arse apart last saturday.

Yes & not shown on tv because the FA cup replay was considered more prestigious than the cup winners cup

As Mase said previously, Saints have a league game on the Tuesday so it was likely to be the Saturday because of that.
