I love the fact that Harry Redknap has just taken Portsmouth to win the FA cup - the first time in 14 years that one of the "big 4" hasn't won it.

Best day of my life on saturday,even better than our wedding day, still cant belive we did it

You have to admit Emma, true fans like your Dad are few and far between as far as Chelsea, and many other clubs are concerned. I don't mean to knock anybody who wants to support whoever they want - but smaller clubs in this country are seriously suffering and will be no more if everybody just supports the sucessful.

Its my Brother that makes me laugh, he supported Liverpool for years then one day he wakes up and declares he supports Chelsea

We-ell, despite living for the past 25 years in the South East, I'm a Man U fan as both my Father and Grandfather were. Tho' actually they (like me) were born in Birmingham! For that matter, my husband and sons all support Aston Villa with season tickets and everything! BUT then my husband grew up just around the corner from Villa Park and passed his love of the club onto the boys even tho' neither boys were born or ever lived in Birmingham. I guess it's all part of living in a transient and mobile society...

I totally understand that and think that it is lovely when your children support the same team....

My earlier rant was purely regarding my nephew and brother in law who both become recent man u fans for no reason other than they win lots! My nephews parents and siblings are Arsenal & my brother in law has never been interested in football until about a year ago...even now I bet his not even watching the match but if they beat Chelsea tonight he will be the first person on the phone winding us up!

Rant over....I'll shut up now before I offend anyone.

I am sure you are not going to offend anyone Man Utd were passed on to me by both my uncles, I hero worshipped one of them, and whatever he followed I followed it drives Ian nuts as a Liverpool fan. That being said we both like to support Cardiff and it was great to see them where they were on Saturday, by the way well done Rachel, a great result, and so nice that everything seemed to be so friendly x

Haha...I can imagine what it's like in your house when Man U V Liverpool is on!

I agree... it was fantastic to see Cardiff V Pompey in the FA cup final.

Ahhh, I see!!! My boys call fans like that "Gloryhunters"... Don't worry, you won't offend anyone - how could you? You're going to Marbella in a few days!!! Have a glass of sangria for me - heck, have a jug!!!

Yes that's it...they are Gloryhunters!

I will have a jug or two for you...

And now it's handbags! And Drogba's gone... This is crazy!!!

Drogba is such an idiot sometimes....

Oh god...I hate penalties! I'm off to hide behind the sofa!

 

[PoppyAnna]

No, Moscow is 2-3 hrs ahead of the rest of Europe - it's so we all get to watch it at a more decent time?
Have you been on the wine like me???

Those poor sausages that were just put on to take penalties now, the pressure!

 

[thelittlemermaid83]

Great, penalities.
