First FA Cup final is usually one you remember, and 1994 had me hooked on Cantona. 1995 I rejoiced in a MUFC defeat. 1997 I thought LFC had a chance. At the time, worried I’d never see a cup final without MUFC in it. As the meme goes, the club’s current troubles will not give me my childhood back.

I’d still take this view from behind a girder (which @caoimhesport.bsky.social will know well from her visits to Kenilworth Rd) to watching at Cosm (the $100 entry fee doesn’t help). Fun piece from @mlsist.bsky.social and Caoimhe. www.nytimes.com/athletic/597...

Pretty impressive (unique?) how Cole Palmer can be so influential for Chelsea from so many different areas of the pitch in different matches. From @zonal-marking.bsky.social

Hardly a spoiler but the lack of personal investment from the Glazers is still incredible.

Great spot from Rob (not on here yet I don’t think) to pick this out and break it down. International breaks are rubbish of course but this was a lovely goal

Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick in the 2022 World Cup final and was made France captain in 2023.
Now he's not even in the squad.
So, what's happened?
