Man Utd Fans set a poor standard
Here is an interesting point made by Harry Redknapp, the Portsmouth manager ahead of the FA Cup final between Portsmouth and Cardiff.
”I couldn’t believe it last year. The final whistle went, and suddenly the stadium was half empty! The Manchester United fans couldn’t bear to see the other team [Chelsea] lifting the cup.”
He went on to explain at the same group of teams and fans are reaching the final each year and becoming too familiar with the event. This is making the FA Cup lose it’s magic and devaluing the occasion. Harry has asked for both sets of fans to give a full ovation for the lap of honour for both teams at today’s match.
The scene when Man Utd lose?

That’s the point, “big teams” are getting bored at the cup final

No, i dont think that ‘big teams’ are getting bored of the FA Cup, i think it is still special to them but if you ask any fan or any team what would you rather win, the Champion’s League of the FA Cup, i think that most people would say the Champion’s League.
The FA Cup is still special but if United and Chelsea were in the final yesterday then i think both would have rested players for the final on wednesday but it doesnt mean they dont want to win it, they just want to win both.
