hmmmm . . . . . . the only problem is what if it turns out to be a ************ game!!!

Part of the risk... it always is.
Even if Southampton get an early goal and close up shop to try and preserve a lead, that would be worth the dough for me.
But then again, I live for the big events. This is definitely one of them, it goes without saying.
Yet, nevermind that we have it on free-to-air TV over here. :D
Gone to watch the game now...

Webcast is free.
Expect it to be cut off at any moment.
But it is free.

I decided not to. No game is worth that much unless my team is playing in it, or if I think it'll be a classic, and I doubt this one will.

I just watched the first three minutes of the FA Cup before they cut it off.

The webcast won't work for me, so if anyone else is having the same problem, here is minute by minute match tracker.

I suppose it's worth it only if you have a vested interest in one of the teams.
Which in my case has been a "yes" for three straight years!! :D
I didn't have to pay in 2001 as I was still in Scotland but the last two years I have happily payed up to see my beloved AFC go for silverware.
But if Arsenal weren't involved I would have stayed in bed and spared myself.
I learned my lesson in 2000 when I watched Villa v. Chelsea as a neutral and was searching for the razor blades by the end of it. God that was f'ing boring.

I suppose that's worth it... if it's the price of your ticket to the final.

The bastids advertized it all day yesterday as starting at 7PM over here on the left coast US. So I go to work thinking, Well it's the last match of the English season. The traditional end...I'll spend the $25 I don't know if I was pizzed at them for bad advertizing or mad at myself because I shouldda known better...!!!
