    Part of the reason why the final has lost its 'sparkle'.

    Final day was always fantastic no matter who was playing ...

    ... now it's the same 'experience' every time.

    A typical case of ruining something by making it better.

    Definitely. The shine of the fa cup final wore off a while ago for me. I hope Palace win it tbh, just to **** the others off.

    I used to be able to remember Cup winners, even scorers, going back decades ...

    ... now, I can't remember who won it last year.

    That's not an exaggeration for effect, it's sadly true.

    Plymouth at home to Cheltenham tomorrow night… Looks like a nailed on home win. We can only hope that isn’t the case!

    5 wins in a row without conceding a goal. That’s excellent at any level. However, their run in is really difficult… I’d love them to slip up tonight.

    They have certainly hit great form. I tend to think they and MK are too far ahead to be caught, but obviously not mathematically. Like others have said they have, on paper, a tough run in. That said I wouldnt be surprised if they win their next 3, based on form.

    MK Dons could win the league and we finish 9th. It's so tight, going to be interesting end to the season. I still think SAFC will drag our arses to Wembley though.

    It really is tight isnt it. I wouldnt be putting money on it but I think we may get ourselves, along with Oxford, into the play offs. If we do then I like Neil's record in that format.

    6 clean sheets in a row for Plymouth. Fair play, that’s brilliant at any level.

    Oxford are at Plymouth on the day we play Gillingham.

    As things stand I think we'd be hoping for two home wins.

    Oxford also have us, Rotherham and MK to play.

    Genuine question for fans of the other nations in the UK, when England are playing, do you want us to get beat, win or down care? I only ask because whenever any of the other nations play, the English media are sat there with their c##ks in their hands saying we should get behind them. Personally I'm not bothered how other teams get on. Wales are playing Austria tonight is why I'm asking.
