Re: FA Cup
I like Jose when he 1st come to england, thought he was funny and witty. He is still witty but now just annoys me more as he is always moaning about something or another every weeks. Also he is a very bad loser. So a little unsporting. I think he is still good for the premiership but lost the shine he had when he 1st come to uk.
Couple weeks ago he was having a go at our star player Ronaldo and then bought ronaldo class into it and talking about how he was bought up in a poorer area of portuagul and that he must be un educated. Jose was bought up from a posh area in portugal. Some of football greatest players like Pele, Maradonna etc all came from poor up bringings. Jose talk crap most of the time and was out of order to bring class facter into it. Thats when I lost respect for him when he made that attack in press interview.
As Kevin Keegan said once ' I would Love if we beat'em' Infact I hope we stuff them then at end of match he cant blame on anything and will have say we were the better team.
There my little RANT is over lololololololol

Re: FA Cup
Hi Sean.
I'm a fellow Hammers fan, and have mixed feelings about the Cup Final.
Not so long ago Man Utd were the team everyone loved to hate. Then came along Roman's Chelsea with all their cash and they bought the Premiership title - twice.
So now, everyone hates Chelsea.
Personally, I don't really like either team, but Man Utd have certainly played the better football this season with Ronaldo being a revelation. I am, however, getting fed up with the fact that the Premiership is now a year-in year-out 2 horse race.
I am, therefore, looking forward to having to learn the rules and history of ice-hockey and other North American sports for when we end up in Canada.
As someone who has been cursed by the need to follow West Ham
(every game I watch sees me close to heart attack!) maybe it would be nice to "latch on" to a successful sports team for once. I can be like the generation of Southern Liverpool and Man Utd supporters who have never set foot inside the stadium! 
So, still undecided about who I want to win the Cup, but I hope all of those with a vested interest in the match enjoy the game.

Re: FA Cup
Having said that, last season my wife (she was born in Plaistow) & I did have a season ticket for West Ham. The only problem was we lived in Polperro in Cornwall. So we had a 550 mile round trip for every home match! Very glad we didn't bother this season.
And I hope MU win tomorrow.

Re: FA Cup
Last year we played in the BEST FA Cup final ever PLUS we got to poison Tottenham in their hotel and subsequently keep them out of Europe.
This year, where do you begin? What a ride!
It's much better than boring, mid-table obscurity with the likes of Villa or Blackburn.
Good old West Ham.
Hey, you don't want to swap wives do you? (I'll even throw in a Wannabe)

Re: FA Cup
Well done matey
And now everybody hates us because they think we cheated (which we did!)
You're lucky you've chosen Canada as Hockey is the best North American sport. It's technically a very exciting game and once you get to know the players and follow a team (Sens in my case), it's really good, non-stop action, better than footie sometimes!
Another thing, when you see how much punishment these hockey players take in a game and just keep on going you really start to get annoyed with the theatrics of those nancy-boy football players back in England (not West Ham players obviously). It's embarrasssing sometimes.
There are about seven of us in Ottawa (and three hundred Liverpool fans)
Hey, we won the FA Cup in 1980 - that's successful!
These stadiums are much less scary though, but the BIG DRAWBACK . . . no Chicken Balti Pies (you know what I'm talking about)

Re: FA Cup
I am off to my mates to watch on his huge projector screen (he's has a room especially set up for sports with beer fridge
I wish it was me ) have a few beers and shout on united, although I don't support either united have more home based players.
And looks like chelsea will have less next year after AbramoCASH told them nobody will earn more cash than Sheva!

Re: FA Cup
Must say to all ManU and Chelsea fans watching - you must be really proud of your teams' performances so far this afternoon...
