No.....the indigo rule. If someone doesn't reach the 75% participation mark they don't count. Ask RD.

Yup, agree 100%. Sold it down the river years ago. + money/europe.


As a kid in the 70s this was THE sporting highlight of the year for millions and I used to watch from first thing in the morning until the cup had been paraded round Wembley then a mass game of football afterwards, all my mates,family, all supporters, even old grannies used to watch it. Sound like an old git but I'm not sure many under say 35 really understand what it used to be like. I think someone famous from the great early 70s Liverpool team once said, "I've a bunch of Championship medals, i've a European cup medal but I'd trade them all in for an FA Cup winners medal"...can't imagine that now!

the FA just get better, don't they? Brilliantly and effortlessly devaluing their own crown jewel. I want to be sat in front of the telly, a mix of rancheros and ringos to hand, watching the coaches go to Wemberlee but no. Another part of my sporting love given over to idiocy.


I'm all about Wigan today. Just sorry that it just isn't quite what it should be.

Having lost the 78 final to Ipswich I could barely keep still for the 79 final


2 nil up at half time I vividly remember walking down to the beach for a breather an basking in likely glory


Second half... 5 mins left. And then they scored two. I felt physically ill. Genuinely not metaphorically. Then Sunderland not only score the winner but visibly swore on TV. The release...


Then we go and lose the next one in 1980. Can't remember who to

    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
