The problem is the as with this years cup you had 2 teams who by the time the cup came around they weren't in good form and weren't really great teams to begin with. Sure it's nice to have an underdog and a fairytale, but Cardiff V Portsmouth was pretty dull, both clubs can hardlyeven claim to have many supporters.
Leeds V Man Utd or something would be a brilliant fa cup final. Something with some rivalry.
What you on about? Both clubs haven't won major trophies since god knows how long, and in Portsmouth's case, 69 years (and I think Cardiff's stretch goes back to the 20s when they won it for the first and only time). Their fans were out in forces to watch the game. This is what the FA Cup is truly about. It ain't about prize money, it's about the Cup itself. In a way I'm glad none of the big teams made it (but I'm still disappointed about the Pompey result, because of the way that game went), because the FA Cup finally went back to the gold old days.
I didn't watch the game myself, as I went out that night. But if it was a dull game, then look back at last years final between United and Chelsea, now that was a disgraceful game.
Leeds vs Man United would be horrible, imagine how the atmosphere would be like. There'll be idiots ruining the occasion for everybody, that's for sure. That's why I didn't want to play Liverpool to make it to Moscow this year, because of the volatility between the supporters.
