JOE Tube
So, the FA Cup final is upon us once again and JOE has his Saturday all planned out with a long day of sport ahead. Chelsea v Portsmouth in Wembley is the pinnacle.
JOE Tube will get you in the mood if you can’t wait until the cut-back preview begins at lunch-time tomorrow. JOE has been romanticizing over the days when TV coverage of the final began mid-morning and we organised our entire weekend around it. It goes to show the decline of the competition’s stature.
These classic goals from past FA Cup finals should whet your appetite.
