FA Cup date and venue set to be changed at the last minute
Rumours abound at FA Headquarters that the FA Cup Final is being boycotted because the flagship game is not being played at the end of the season. It is rumoured that only 1,401 tickets have been sold starting at £700 per ticket for an obstructed view near the corner flag.
“Football fans have had enough” said one irate Man City supporter. “We had to travel down to Wembley for the semi final and then we discover that we are not the showpiece game at the end of the season because of the Champions League Final”.
An alternative plan is being hastily discussed, it seems. Consideration is being given to allow the game to be played at the lowest placed team in League 2. “It makes perfect sense”, said the recently irate Man City, “Stockport County would suit everyone – not too far from Stoke City and near Manchester. In fact, I’ve got an aunt who lives in Stockport”. An announcement is expected soon.

SHould be at Barrow, mate. We could boo both teams (FootballCynic writes: So, you are saying that Barrow fans would boo multi-million pound talent - and Delap's throws)

Stoke to win 1-0. Those ovepaid City rubbish will get skinned. (FootballCynic writes: You might be right, Terry. I like the name you have used - persumably that's a pronounced limp pronounced l-i-m-p.)

Well, it wasn't the same. Lady Knobhead and I usually draw lots to decide which team in the Cup Final we will support and then we don scarves and hats of the team we have drawn. Lady Knobhead often bakes cakes in the colours of each team so that the winner can hold their cake aloft. But, it wasn't the same this year. Lady Knobhead was still sitting working out the effect of permutations of results on the Premiership relegation battle. She's concluded that Aston Villa are safe, I believe. There were no special cakes except some rather fine Eccles cakes bought from Marks & Spencers. I suppose Eccles is somewhere near Manchester. But, it wasn't the same. Oh well, Torquay v Shrewsbury looks far jollier. Maybe, Lady Knobhead has purchased some nice lemon Shrewsbury biscuits which she can hold aloft if Shrewsbury win.

I am pissed but is there relly a shrewsby biscuit (FootballCynic writes: If Lord Knobhead says there is, well, there obviously is. Indeed, if you google it, you can find recipes etc. Hope the headache isn't too bad this morning - a Shrewsbury biscuit is said to aid recovery)
