Hijacked by the FA again, I suppose. Money making exercise to fill their pockets from a potentially full capacity Wembley two days in a row.


Could be wrong but didn't the FA incur a load of debt when Wembley was rebuilt, that they're now desperate to fill it any way they can ??

If it were a profitable proposition, they'd even consider filling it with water and hold mock sea battles on it, as the Romans reportedly did with the Colosseum (as per Seutonius).

It's, arguably, a complete white elephant in the footballing scheme of things.

The Daily Mail reporting that we can't sell our allocation and no mention of Arsenal sending any back. It's alleged that they sold out. It does give mitigating circumstances for this including the London Marathon, people not willing to travel on a Sunday with work on Monday and fans making a stand against semis being at Wembley.

It might well be IWT.

Some of the deciduous trees in the distance have that fresh green look when their new spring growth is breaking.

I think we'll win this comfortably. I don't think it's a coincidence we are priced at 4/5 (https://sports.ladbrokes.com/en-gb/betting/football/english/fa-cup/) to win the game on Sunday.
