Hi, I'm Dave Pundit. A trip to Wembley can only mean one thing: FA Cup Final day. Or that time I went to see Celine Dion. I'll tell you what, she was so good I waited until the encore before I started throwing cups of my urine at the stage.
Liverpool v Everton
So here it is the most hotly anticipated FA Cup Final in recent history. A derby match no less. I'd say it was too close to call if it wasn't for the fact that Liverpool are head and shoulders above Everton. You only have to look at the league to see that. Liverpool are the kind of team that challenge for 4th whereas Everton are mid-table at best. Of course league form counts for nothing in these games but you can't discount the fact that the table doesn't lie, except when it puts Arsenal in 3rd because that can't be true, they've been rubbish all year. You also have to remember that Liverpool have won a cup final already this year so they know what it takes to draw this kind of game and still pick up a trophy and I can see that skill being essential here.
Verdict: 1-1 (Liverpool to win on penalties)
Tottenham v Chelsea
Wait, why are they playing other games on cup final day? I refuse to accept this. This is another shocking decision by the FA. First they don't ban Balotelli for what was a horrendous challenge on some bloke from Arsenal, studs showing, knee high, over the ball and he still couldn't break his leg. There's no place for that in football. And now this, other matches on cup final day. It's outrageous. No wonder John Terry is feigning injury and refusing to play. He's a man of true moral fibre and no mistake. In honour of his brave stand I refuse to make any more predictions.

Given that there will be league games on the day of The Final wasn't it very clever of he Premier League to organise Liverpool v Chelsea for that day causing the minimum of disruption to the fixture list.
Maybe they could just count this game as The Cup Final AND the Premier League fixture thus killing two birds with one stone.

What I don't understand is the amount of people who feel the need to criticize the article and yet contribute nothing worthwhile to the thread.

Pundits comments are generally funny and a good laugh, no one is safe from cynical attack, he's fair in that way. This week though I thought the usual sharpness was lacking, the dig at John Terry tbh is old hat stuff and a tad lame. Not too mention the distance from the actual truth. But there could be humour there too i suppose.
Always happy to read your stuff Dave, its more than just entertaining, and all credit to you.

well said Tway
I think the vast majority of pundit readers look forward to what the prediction sage has to offer...
But we don't all have to get all syncophantic about it do we, like some sort of hero worship trip
By being on here at all it invites comment of all types i'd say
