I've only missed 1 Cup Final since 1958 - that was 2000. Shan't be watching this Year either. What's the connection??

Still a bit annoyed that we played Villa in their "awful run" period of the season, and gifted the most both survival, and a cup final, with our 2 defeats at their place.
I'll be cheering for Arsenal, but in general I'd want the Midlands clubs to win a bit of silver ware from time to time.

LEB totally agree. I'm still angry about losing to them twice in a week. I think they were by far the worst results of the season when you consider local pride, pre-match hype and form as well as the actual importance of the matches. Tim Sherwood had lost his first two games in charge of Villa before they played us but afterwards they were on such a high.

I can see the game being a bit special, and have lots of goals with Arsenal in dominate form.
I would like to see the cup coming to the Midlands though.
Though as someone has mentioned, I am also bloody annoyed that they - Villa - dumped on us twice during a bad spell, otherwise we could have been there.

I'm nervous that Villa could win, they shouldn't but they're definitely capable of causing problems for Arsenal. They've got quite a lot of pace and Benteke can bully their defenders.
