The Sky build up is usually decent, if you include Soccer AM.

this year its Soccer Am 9-12. Grimsby Lincoln 12-2 then cup final coverage from 2.

[LFCNeil90]

tonights question of sport is actually an fa cup special apparently.

[Swipe]

What channel is everyone watching the match on (for those watching at home)?

 

I'll watch the BBC build up cos it starts before sky's - but i'll watch the game on Sky i reckon.

Shane Warne is delivering the match ball.

 

Why?

 

Australian cricket legend Shane Warne is delivering the match ball tomorrow, ahead of the 3pm kick off.

 

The spin bowler, who has signed a five-year endorsement with official supplier of the ball Mitre Sports International, will land on the Cardiff Bay Barrage by helicopter.

 

He will then race up the River Taff to a water bus stop near the stadium.

my thoughts exactly, would you beleive i was watched the european cup final at home last eyar, was drinking beer, yet still had the cup of tea at half time, just for the sake of it

[Spike]

Have decided to stay at home, start drinking at 12 and be asleep on the carpet by 8.

 

Last time I did this we won and it was the start of events which led me to psycho bitch and I splitting up.

 

I just hope my c**k or right hand doesn't fall off if history is to really repeat itself

i've got a football team end of season do which starts at 12 midday. two hour killer pool tournament then the match, and i'm going to be a pissed, nervous wreck by kickoff. doesn't matter a jot who it's against, it's the f***ing FA cup final, the stuff of childhood dreams. it's unique. bring it and all its horrors and nervous, ridiculous, preposterous giddiness on. enjoy the day.

[Montse]

I miss the FA Cup final perms - wonder if Harry has been growing his hair for this

 

Anyway its off to the pub for the BBc build up at one and the beeb for the match

Sounds perfect that Stevie. Two hours of killer! Magic.

 

I'm in work til an hour before kick off and am thinking of knotting some sheets together to hang out the window for when its time to do a dusty, to save time waiting for the lift.

[libero]

Have got a tee off time at 8:24(hence the early rise, oh and cup final jitters as well )

 

Should get finished Golf about 12 ish just in time to see the second half of the Scotland v Japan game, couple of beers to calm the nerves then up the road to get settled in front of the box.

 

Full strip on(with boots and shin gaurds) just in case Rafa sends the helicopter for me to take someones place.

 

Watch the game like a ravin loon, with an empty house may I add because the kids will feck off out to get away from scary dad hurling obscenities at the TV and nervously drinking large carry out.

 

Hopefully toast a great success, drink more beer get a Chinese about 8 ish and take dog for a walk about about 9 while passing a manc's house down the road while singing Fields of Anfield Road(this will not be the first time may I add)

 

Carslberg dont do TV Cup Finals but if the did they would Probably be the best TV Cup finals in the World

[McBain]

Fridge full of beer

TV tuned to Sky (ABM*)

Loads of munchables

Throwabale weapons nearby should I be disturbed

 

Not as good as being there but not too shabby at all
