On one of the programmes this morning, did I hear right?

Talking about 'The Crazy Gang' - ...cr@pping in each other's shoes, breaking into other players' houses and killing their pets

Lovely.

Actually, I'm surprised the BBC showed that.

It was a soundbite from one of the Wimbledon players, btw

A bloke I used to work with said he was eating out with his wife in a good restaurant, somewhere in an up-market area of Surrey iirc.

Some of the Crazy Gang were there too and ruined the evening. Behaving in an obnoxious manner, throwing food around etc

I must admit I like this very long build up, in which the Beeb have featured a lot of old matches. A bit like it was many years ago.

Report i_agree_with_nick • May 30, 2015 4:16 PM BST

Indeed but it was special when you were a kid; partly because it was the only live match. Also, it really was big for the players, clubs and fans.

I think this coverage today will help to promote the competition. I know he's not everyone's cup of tea but I think Lineker does a good job.

Ian Wright is right - the sun did always shine on Cup Final day.

Gary is too smarmy, but is much better than he was when he started.

1957 cup final now, marvellous stuff.

Arsenal 2 Villa 1 (ht 1-1) for me.

I've done 1-0 and 2-0 to Arsenal, I don't think Villa will score.

BT Sport did a documentary about the so-called Wimbledon 'Crazy Gang' of the late 80s.

I feel sorry for anybody unfortunate to have come into contact with them.

The Leopard, I think your punt will end in tears, I can't see Villa scoring let alone winning.

Benteke should have been booked

Alun, I did see Wimbledon quite a few times when they shared Selhurst Park with Palace when teams like Man Utd and Liverpool were in town. I met Vinny Jones at the dogs many times, he had a lot of greyhounds, Smoking Bullet being probably his best one.
You could not possibly meet a more obnoxious, pig ignorant tool than Jones. He was completely hideous in every single way.

That was close, come on the Gunners.

Is Martin Keown going to a function straight after the match?

Has Ted Drake scored yet?

Arsenal tore Villa a new one, Villa were totally pathetic. I'm well pleased with the result even though I didn't get the correct score.

Report SlippyBlue • May 30, 2015 7:27 PM BST

I was right about Villa not scoring though..

I've heard the same thing said about Vinnie Jones by an old team mate of his.

A wrongun s.kenbo, my mate wanted to beat the crap out of him at Milton Keynes one night.

I could be wrong but didn't he marry a very attractive woman? Extremely classy too iirc
