Didn't anyone tell him that when playing cricket the box goes on the inside of the whites?

 

[Toe knee]

Nah you get Betty swollocks wearing them inside

 

[SteMerritt]

Nah you get Betty swollocks wearing them inside

Inside of your whites, not your boxers

 

[Toe knee]

Inside of your whites, not your boxers

that's what I meant. Not inside your boxers on a Friday night . Like a hero Errol flyn

 

[Essexyellows]

Come on, plenty were obviously offended, even if you weren't.

Nobody made any money from the simple gesture of taking a knee.

And anyway, a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist making money?! Nah, summat doesn't add up there...

Google is your friend for that.

Employing family members on 6 figure salaries............ rapidly running out of funds...... usual spiel.

 

[Paul Cannell]

Can you keep the Daily Mail style slurs & misinformation off the sports forums, please. Enough bigotry and entitlement without you chipping in.

 

[MarkG]

This year wasn’t much interest either.

 

[MJB]

This year wasn’t much interest either.

I very rarely watch matches involving Premier League teams but whenever I do, they’re really boring.

 

[holdsteady]

Cracking winning goal though.

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

Inside of your whites, not your boxers

Your boxers !!! Surely a nice thong type box holder ...very odd thing with two elastic straps around your bum cheeks !!

 

[NorthWestOx]

Cracking winning goal though.

He's been watching Lankshear!

 

[derek]

He's been watching Lankshear!

My first thought too

Certainly not a classic. Interesting stat from one of the commentators that every player who started could be represent their country at the World Cup.

 

[werthersoriginal]

I actually didn’t know it was on today until the Celtic game finished- which is really sad as it used to be such an event.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

A good goal but a very dull game. Chelsea took a short corner and, without Man City touching the ball or putting a huge amount of pressure on, managed to pass it all the way back to their own keeper - who then hoofed it up the pitch. It gave me flashbacks !

 

[Grumpy Git]

Got sick to death of Joao Pedro with his constant diving in the box. Try and stay on your feet and fight for the ball.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Yes, there was a lot of 'feeling contact' (or not) and pretending their legs had been removed at the knee! And from more than just him.

 

[SteMerritt]

This discussion is all well and good, but I couldn't tell you who was even in the 22/23 final without heading to Google, which I can't be arsed to do.

I suppose this is eventually true of any trophy record once enough time passes. In 2036, once we've won 9 consecutive FA Cup finals, I bet a fair few of us will need a quick Google search to check whether it was Liverpool or Arsenal that we beat in the 2029 final.

It was Wrexham

I could easily rattle off the results of the FA Cup finals from mid 70's to early 2000's including the scorers and sendings off (Kevin Moran!).

But I don't think I could confidently guess any of the finals over the last 20 years.

A combination of the FA Cup losing relevance and me getting old I think!

FA Cup hero Antoine Semenyo on the bench with Mark Harris whilst at Newport County in 2018-19.

Im only confident up to about 1991 personally...

 

[Chris on a Bike]

1991? Ends with a 1. Was it Tottenham?

 

[SteMerritt]

That was the year Gazza knocked us out at WHL on his own...

 

[holdsteady]

1991? Ends with a 1. Was it Tottenham?

It was. Although that only works till then, not actually made the final since, so it’s a bit of a s**t boast by them.

 

[ECYellow]

1991? Ends with a 1. Was it Tottenham?

Correct. Gazza and Hoddle were excellent that day.

It’s the year Spurs won it against Notts Forest.
Gazza scored a brilliant free kick in the semi final against Arsenal at Wembley, before being stretchered off at Wembley, in almost exactly the same position on the pitch.

Well Hoddle wasn't, he didn't play. The Hoddle game was a league match a few years earlier.

Must admit I'm struggling to remember who played yesterday.

 

[MarkG]

I went to watch with a couple of Chelsea supporting mates.
Most of the conversation was “he needs to get a new barber” for several players.

Why the keeper had a skull protection cap
Why one of the players looked like the 13 year old Harry Potter but playing pro football
