It’s actually been quite a good game to be fair
My Dad and my older brother went but i had to settle for listening on a small transistor radio.?I was 7 during that epic, giant killing FA cup run... biggest attendances at the Manor twice , first V Blackburn Rovers, then even more when the U's were on the end of a couple of 'questionable' decisions in the quarter final V PNE, was on the temporary scaffolding terraces on the Beech road side for both of those games, with me Dad
‘Former Oxford loanee wins FA Cup’ is the headline here.
You tell the kids of today that and...My Dad and my older brother went but i had to settle for listening on a small transistor radio.?
We actually needed to win the game to stand a chance of getting into the playoffs. It was far from meaningless.I believe that 3-0 drubbing by Port Vale in a meaningless game taught him everything he knows......

I'll let you finish it.
Reminds me of when Dad showed my daughter his turntable, she was about 4. She sat watching the record go round (it was Bowie, naturally, with Dad). Melody looked at him and said 'grampy, how do you put it on random?' ? ? ?It's like explaining Ceefax.
You would genuinely think that the captains would either ask or be told in advance how to handle the thing. I knew Aubameyang was going to drop it as soon as he took the whole lot over to the team and was holding it solely by the base.Ok so all the old buffers on social media are whinging about the “old times FA Cups”.
What disappointed me today was the f wits didn’t realise the base is separate to the trophy and tried carrying the whole thing to lift it and then dropped it and tried putting it back together with the base upside down.

There is a tiny bit of a traditionalist in me that felt quite sad watching the FA Cup being dropped, and having everybody think it was a cracking laugh.
