The other red side will show everyone how finals are meant to be done - heart attack inducing excitement

Unlikely. There's even more at stake in that game.

Milan's pride for a start...................

Re: is it time to scrap the FA cup?

Oh, and yes a crap thread starter. Many cup finals, in many sports, not just football are ruined by being built up too much. Including Sietes precious RU.

All true. What puzzles me is why the likes of Ronaldo didn't stamp their authority on the game? Rooney played ok, and created some good openings, but a lot of the other 'stars' went awol. Chelsea, without Carvalho which meant Essien played in the back four, lacked the latters ability to probe, and that, in a nutshell killed the game off, as Chelsea defended a deep line, and ground Utd down. As you say, great finish by Drogba.

Nice to hear some Utd fans taking it so well actually. Although some nasty comments have already been made.........

Re: is it time to scrap the FA cup?

Mmm... tough one to call. Ronaldo was poor, but Rooney was lively, but props to Cech! Very brave indeed!!!!

Cech and Vidic kept both teams in the game upto the last 5 minutes.

Goal line techonlogy...

Ronaldo, Giggs, did nothing
Scholes And Vidic were like the best players i think
As i say you lose some you win some, but for the first fa cup at the new wembley stadium you cant get a cra**er match, hopefully the brazil vs england lives up to it, o well we have the next fa cup lol said that for the last few years now

However, as I say, I can't see Milan wanting lightening to strike twice. As such it's liable to be much more cagey than 2005.

Rooney made amazing runs only if someone like nistelrooy or saha were there
