I don't watch English football but personally think its great that the same 4 teams that win everything else aren't in the final this year, it will give other teams a renewed interest next year thinking it could be them that makes the final.
And its possibly saved Cardiff from administration so that can't be a bad thing.
But I do agree with the general sentiment, it probably won't be the most skillful game of football, but ya can be damn sure both teams will go hammer & tongs at each other.
