STEVE GERRARD, GERRARD

That Akinfenwe chap looks ahem......rather well fed.........and Gerrard scores

The BBC love Gerrard. Proper brown noseing him.

Akinfenwa is pure muscle

I think they've gotten much deeper thasn simply brown nosing nowadays.

 

Looks about right. "He writes his own scripts".

I'm too young to remember so I just wanted to ask, with all the build up to tonight's game, why is 7th place Wimbledon beating Liverpool in the FA Cup final seen as the biggest cup final shock? 

 

Surely the 1976 final with second division Southampton beating Manchester United is bigger, or 2 years ago with Wigan beating Manchetser City before being relegated just a few days later? 

 

Although they were 7th in the league, and had been similar I think the year before, they had risen extremely quickly before that from non-league - I think (I haven't checked) in more or less consecutive seasons and were still seen as a bit of a joke, waiting to be "found out".  Southampton were always seen as a reasonably big club even though they were 2nd division at the time they won.  Wigan were more like Wimbledon in my opinion.  Maybe the explanation is that when Wimbledon won, it was still seen by the "big" clubs and generally as THE cup to win?  

His own script was to be sh*t all season. Leave and make it all about him, then score against Wimbledon? That's a sh*t script

Beeb making same mistake as sky and itv...Liverpool co-commentator in murphy and it just sounds like Liverpool TV...crap

The Beast is such a unit.

"YOUR SUPPORT IS f**kING sh*t" 

 

Love it.

Strange few seconds there of Brendan, his back to the dugout, looking around like a Meerkat.

Earlier on the beeb website, they replayed their coverage in full of 1988 cup final between Wimbledon and Liverpool...it was a great reminder of when beeb were best in business, with des the host and motty commentating at his peak...think their current employees could do with watching it and see how it should be done...it's a pale imitation now

That Akinfenwe chap looks ahem......rather well fed.........

Jeez...I wouldn't tackle him, if he was at speed, for anything. Imagine if he fell on you.

Didn't realize Wimbledon actually had a player called Tubbs. I thought they were just referring to Akinfenwa.

BEAST

Wimbledon could win this if beast stays on and doesn't get sent off

Anyone else remember  Rodgers saying  " defending is easy " after we beat them 2-0 last season ?  He still doesn't get it though does he ?  I love the FA Cup for the very reason it throws up games like this.
