FA Cup Final Review

Hmmmm!

Well, they kicked off at 3pm on Saturday. That was just about the most exciting thing that happened until the 116th minute when Chelsea managed to string more than two passes together and Drogba woke everyone up.

Drogba’s “alarm call” wakes everyone up only to send Man Utd and their supporters into a nightmare

The final whistle blew. Chelsea players jumped up and down, Manchester Utd players sank to the ground. John Terry lifted the Cup.

John Terry lifts the Cup as people wake from their afternoon nap. Even Frank Lampard appears to be having a good stretch and yawn. It was possibly the most he moved all afternoon.

The End!

Not really much else you can say about it really, apart from the fact that it was such an anti-climax. It was supposed to be the top two teams (apparently) staging the show piece Final for the grand opening of the new Wembley stadium. It simply wasn’t worth the wait. Saturday’s game has to rank up there with the 1996 Final as possibly the worst Final, if not of all time, then at least of the modern era. Personally I’d vote this one as the worst. At least in 1996 it was decided in normal time and we didn’t have to endure an additional 30 minutes. Go down any local park on a Sunday morning to watch the local pub league and you’ll see any number of more entertaining games.

Man Of The Match: There wasn’t one! So I’m awarding it to the stadium itself. Now that was worth the wait!
