Heartbreak At Wembley

 

Alas, this year the double was not to be. In the first FA Cup final at the new Wembley, Manchester United were beaten by a Chelsea goal from Didier Drogba deep into extra time, which handed Chelsea the cup double this year.

The match was a poor affair and not fitting for the first final back at its spiritual home, which lends itself to the argument that clubs are playing too many matches every season with not enough of a break.

The one bright spark was Wayne Rooney who ran his socks of for all 120 minutes.

There’s always next year lads!

The Day Of Reckoning

 

Well people, the day has finally arrived. We are within hours of the kick off against Chelsea at the new Wembley in the FA Cup Final. Time to look at doing the double methinks. The Old Trafford camp has been pretty quiet this week, which bodes well because the lat thing the players needed was a slanging match between  Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho.

 The preliminary team news is that Gary Neville and Luis Saha are out, as expected, but everyone else is fit to start.

Watch this space for updates!
