Feels really strange that today is Cup Final day in August,when normally we are watching pre season games.The Cup was always brillant as a kid growing up.Loved listening to the draws on the radio.If you got through to round 4 then making sure someone had a radio for the lunch time draw on the Monday.Even after we got knocked out it was still interesting.
What would you nominate as your favourite cup moment over the years.Personally the 79 final was amazing to watch as a kid.Also the semi final Crystal Palace 4 Liverpool 3 game was great.

It was like an extra Christmas Day, Cup Final day when you were a kid. I'd go for 81. Two good games and club football live on your three channel tele box on a Thursday night!

Bob Stokoe, Jim Montgomery, Dick Malone, Bobby Kerr et al from the old Division 2 beating the mighty Leeds 1973 ranks up there. Love how Brian Moore calls the Sunderland defender Big Dick Malone!!! If you get the chance watch the whole game, it's a fascinating insight into the way the game was played in the 70s. Brutal at times. If it was today there would have 8 red cards in the first 20 minutes. X rated at times. Sunderland knew they needed to 'outdirty' Leeds and that it was the only way they were going to do it!

Sunderland beating Leeds, one of the dirtiest teams in history, was very enjoyable for us neutrals!

Cov winning in 87 was a good one, even though they'd beaten us in the 5th round
Also enjoyed the 2 all merseyside cup finals in the 80s. The 3-2 in 89 was very poignant, hiven it was just after Hillsborough.
Don't have the same feelings for it now as I did back then

Leeds winning at Man Utd when Beckford scored always pops up in my mind.

Norman Whiteside goal v Everton. More the northern Ireland connection than the shit but a good move (, cracking finish and then practised that finish tirelessly, so my left leg became known far and wide as the wand ( for those in the back garden anyway)..loved the whole FA cup days as a kid.

Not a great game but Wimbledon in 88. I haven’t watched an FA cup final since 2011

Ricky Villa's goal against Man City, 1981 FA Cup Final replay. I was stood just to the left, behind the goal near the front.

I was just thinking this morning when I was not really wide awake that, oh it's cup final day it must be early May... I have to name the 1982 final (Spuds-Q's 1-0), because I managed to get a couple of tickets for the game, but, that's certainly all that's memorable about it. In 1988 I was again living in London, and slyly thought that Wimbledon wouldn't need their whole allocation. It was indeed posssible if you could produce three home tickets then you were in. So I went along to three excessively boring Wimbledon matches, but, somehow I lost one of the tickets, by the time the season was over. I did send in the two I had hoping they would show some mercy, but no such luck. I think the Spuds cup final the year before, 1981, was one of those matches which had just about everything. Man City was the opponent. It went into a replay match, and Ricky Villa scored an unbelievable goal, it was eventually voted as the Wembley goal of the century.

Di Matteo goal in the first minute 1997, I was 10 and it was one the first FA Cup finals I got excited in the morning for. We didn't have sky or anything so this was my live match, he runs a good 20 yards and then bangs it from 30 Cross bar and in... A thing of beauty

I ended up with a swollen black eye after a punch from a QPR fan. I had a two hour dentist appointment the next morning to have a bridge put in after having my false teeth broken two months earlier at the League Cup final against Liverpool. I couldn't tell dentist the truth about my eye the next day.

The Matthews final in 1953 with my family and 17 neighbours (adults and kids) clustered round our 9 inch Pye TV in our house at 4 Roe Lane, Newcastle. Curtains drawn (so you could see the picture) mum bringing in cups of tea for the women and beer for the men and soft drinks for the kids at half time. Stan got cheered every time he touched the ball and there was a constant moan by most of the men that Stoke would have been playing at Wembley if we hadn't sold Stan when we did.
Happy days - I was 7 and we'd bought the TV (which was the first in our road) to see the Coronation - the Cup Final was a bonus.

Ricky Villa’s solo goal for Spurs vs Man City in the replay in 1981 (or was it 82?). I was a student, watching it in black and white (it was the early 80s!). At the time, it was a special moment and it felt like the best goal I’d ever seen.

We all crowded into the hotel lounge and watched it on what was probably a family size TV. Rain, mud, brutal tackling and an extra time winning goal from a long throw. It was a brilliant evening, though I am not quite sure what the other guests (or the management) thought of a load of over excited 11 year olds.

It was a brilliant evening, though I am not quite sure what the other guests (or the management) thought of a load of over excited 11 year olds. The early 70s were the heyday of the FA Cup, Alli, IMHO. The combination of more colour TVs and that it was still only one of about four live footie matches of the year, meant that it still a special, magical fixture In the football calendar. The true end to the season, unlike nowadays with the playoff finals. Family and friends crowding around the TV, cans of Long Life beer and a Watneys Party Seven; me along with the other kids relegated to the floor with a can of Coke, the curtains drawn to keep out the glare of the afternoon sun. Special memories. It was also the time of commemorative collections. I still have the full set of Esso coins in their special folder (collected by my dad over several months with petrol purchases). That was for the 1972 final between Leeds and Arsenal, one of the finals that should have had Stoke in it.
