FA Cup 2018

See what mate? They’ve played some good individual games but never got close to winning anything

Yet again Tottenham cough it up when it matters most. This result could do a lot of damage as the FA Cup was a very winnable competition for them.

Alderweireld is as good as out the gap. Eriksen will be seriously pursued, as will Kane. Danny Rose will be a goner too. The only consolation for them is that they’ll now more than likely keep Pochettino as clubs will be wary of his ability to get a team over the line.

United were very clinical and by far the better team bar the opening 20 minutes.

The relative consistency mate, no Spurs fan ever expects to win anything, an FA cup would have been a decent trophy but I wouldn’t have been deliberately staying in to watch it, it’s a tin pot in the grand scheme now. Leicester’s year was the one that got away, they won’t be challenging for the league anymore, Poch will go and they’ll be battling for top 6, as it should be

Typical England international.

Lads, it’s Tottenham.

Eriksen will be sought after but what clubs could Kane realistically move to? United, City and Liverpool are all well stocked for strikers, he isn’t good enough for the 2 who could afford him in Spain or PSG, he wouldn’t be sold to Arsenal so all you have really left is Chelsea who probably wouldn’t pay the money Levy would look for. I know some will say he was injured but his performance today was the frequent ineffectual effort against a big side. The good news for Spurs is another trophyless season means it’s less likely anyone will come in for Pochetino.

It’s rare that a post so long and containing so much information doesn’t have a single thing I’d agree with

As a Spurs fan, I’d agree with nearly everything @Halfpipe has to say there. The last line in his post, I’m undecided on. First half of it, he’s correct on, Pochettino won’t be going anywhere. Whether that’s good news for Spurs I’m undecided about. Said it here about three months ago, I’d take it or leave it as to whether he stayed or went.

Seeing as the FA Cup final is on the day of the royal wedding it is wholly appropriate that the team of the UK royalty is in the final .

Aston Villa?

Man united . The only club to have European cup/ champions league managers knighted .

Stein , Paisley , Clough , Barton , Fagan weren’t knighted .

What?

I was going to ask myself but not sure I wanted the answer…the cup final is on the same day as the cup final…

@balbec got it I think

The duke of Cambridge confirms he’s attending the FA cup final and dashing back to the nuptial celebrations after. He wisely ensured the Christ killing rabble wouldn’t be there before confirming

One final stroke of genius from Wenger.
