Not sure what to read into this (if anything), but anyway.....

He’s possibly told Deano to do a little less instagramming and a little more practicing whether to come out or stay on his line rather than being caught in no man’s land, only for it to happen again.

The vast majority sing pal, sing and chant and get animated, feels like a football match sitting there.

Was miserable as sin on Sunday

Those two knew his trick. (He had one of those electric shock things in his palm but these wise guys knew he knew they knew..!)

Was miserable as sin on Sunday

We are witnessing the death of a once-great competition. It's such an irrelevance now, compared to other competitions, that few clubs actually care too much. Of course it's still a big day for the smaller non-league or lower division sides - but nowhere near as big a day as it used to be - and realistically they aren't going to get close to winning it anyway. The sad thing is, if they do draw a big team the big team will kill the spectacle by putting out a reserve side.

I had a ticket to the game but didn't go. I didn't go because I was bored to death watching the Cup games v Barnet and Sunderland and I expected this to be more of the same - which it was. I gave my ticket away so someone else could go for free. They thought I was doing them a favour! I expected them to come back and say, "I don't know how you watch that shite every week?" - but they were too polite I suppose. If they had said that though I wouldn't have blamed them, and my response would have been, "We don't watch that shite every week - we normally put our best players out and try hard - but we don't give a monkey's about this competition, that's why it was crap".

When we start to take the FA Cup seriously I might start getting interested in it again - but I suspect we'd need to be down to the last 16 before my interest is piqued.

Yes it's sad isn't it ?
Bitd thé FA Cup final was one of only two or three games live on TV during the year, as such it was a major event, nowadays watching football on tv feels like like 24 hour, 365 day event. Last night for example I was flicking between Manchester derby and Reims v Strasbourg, today I'll be recording three French League Cup games and possibly Vile v Leicester.

Didn't West Ham put out a near-full strength side v Gillingham?
