Me too, made my day, but I didn’t give my Chelsea in laws any stick because they’ve embarrassed us twice this season, so I just enjoyed it quietly in my own head.

Up till then I had no interest though, it’s long since been the special game and day it used to be even for the neutrals, I spent the first half in Morrison’s

I was just about to type almost the same thing Willo. Cup Final day was always a special occasion. Last game of the season. Wasn't there pre-match wrestling on ITV with Jackie Pallo and Kent Walton commentating? Usually managed to get a group together for a CF party in front of the box. Saw two at old Wembley, one was ours in 1990 of course. Things certainly have changed, not always for the better.

Anyway, good game yesterday and the best team won. So pleased with the result and for once, with VAR too.

Ha,ha, thought so. Yes, it seems to be an age thing. The older you get the better things were in the past.

But, when I watch some of the old films on Talking Pictures TV, I realise it wasn't necessarily so.

Calm down now. All this excitement is not good for your BP!

I concur with these comments.

I recall the days when there used to be "It's a knockout" on Cup Final day between supporters of the respective clubs.
Furthermore there was television coverage of the teams as they left their hotels and overhead coverage of the team buses as they made their way to Wembley etc etc.

Not the same anymore but in those days seeing a 'Live' game on television was a novelty!
