Who do we want to win?

Gotta be Cardiff innit? Think they've a reasonable underdog's chance too. Depends I reckon on whether Portsmouth can rouse themselves from their four game losing run torpor and apparent feelings of entitlement to the the prize.

Just think what great ambassadors the 'Soul Crew' will be for British football. They'll get us kicked out of Europe again quicker than you can say Heysel.

Londoners will probably hope they win to avoid what the Jocks did in Manchester.

Portsmouth

There are 10 kinds of people. Those who can read binary and those who don't

Yawn?!!

Typical Muted idiot. For the first time in Donkeys, we have two teams outside the Big Four in the final. Loads of subplots if you care to give a s**t about the beautiful game, as opposed to your narcissictic and narrow minded team orientated parochial s**te.

In my experience people from Cardiff are often from Wales which kinda rules out any form of allegiance.

Nothing more boring than Man U, Chelski and f' Arse in the same positions in the League every f**king year. Once Arse can't compete financially we can look forward to having a binary league. Maybe just call them Real and Barca and have done.

Arse can compete financially. The Emirates stadium is a cash cow. They can charge London prices which Manure & Liverpool never can. The boxes at the new stadium alone bring in as much revenue as Highbury did every week.

The issue with them now is Wenger's pathalogical (and IMHO quaint, lovely and honorable) refusal to overpay for and to players.

All depends how you view football.

I prefer to watch the best teams with the best players play the best football with the best skills score the the best goals.

If your thing is watching medocrity but with your heart on your sleeve then perhaps you should consider snooker instead..

Utter booloaks. But I suppose that's why you choose a succesful team to support.

Football is as much about culture as it is about excellence. That's its appeal. The pleasure brought to millions by by The Beautiful Game is in reality little to do with success. Though your fairweather Asian and Muted fans have little concept of this.

You're pretty assured of victory over a non-league team, right?

too bloody right. culture can take a running jump. It's all about supporting the winning team which as CAG clearly pointed out above is the ONLY reason anyone supports MUFC.

Not at all mate. I love my team, irrespective of results, and I love The Game and all of its comedy culture. To be honest, I worry most about football losing its soul. I even fear for Man U to be honest, and genuinely worry that the debt situation they have is gonna be their downfall. I would take no pleasure whotsoever in that. Others would follow for sure.

honestly don't worry about manu they can take care of themselves - i'd seriously concentrate your concerns on the self-destruction taking place over at anulfield. football is all about money and success. if you are still looking for flat caps and long shorts i would seriously look elseswhere.

but seriously yes the cup final will be fun this afternoon. Personally i'm looking forward to watching this Aaron Ramsey guy - and he's younger than my eldest son - god that makes me feel old !!!

Cardiff have a team named:
* 01 Enckelman
* 02 McNaughton
* 12 Johnson
* 06 Loovens
* 03 Capaldi
* 16 Ledley
* 04 Rae
* 10 McPhail
* 07 Whittingham
* 11 Parry
* 36 Hasselbaink

WTF are the Welshmen?

What's the point of having city names on teams where most of them have very few qualified to play for the country they are playing in, never mind having any link to a specific town.

Compare and contrast Neath in this weekend's rugby:
Gareth King
Kevin James
Steve Thomas
Wayne Mitchell
Matthew Nuthall
Arwel Thomas
Martin Roberts
Martin Jones
Andy Littehales
Ross Davies
Euros Evans
Martin Morgan
Gareth Gravell
James Merriman
Lee Beach

And the cheek of it!

Muntari went up for his medal with a Ghana flag wrapped around him!

How very rude! Where was his Cross of St George?

You have to laugh....

Not at all interested in the sub plots and 60+ years old histories of who did what and when and how karma has taken it's hand to deny Cardiff

Yet, if you had read my 2nd line, it automatically cancels out your boring anti MU s**te about parochial nonsense... I am far more interested in how Queen Of The South do next weekend against Rangers, since my dad had a trial for them in the 50's just after his return from NS rebuilding Hamburg.

You don't get much more non-parochial than supporting a team that most people couldn't name the city they play in let alone the ground they play on....
