THE FINAL ACCORDING TO HANDY ANDY

This guy is a lunatic read his prediction for final 80% of what he writes a is about west ham.... after reading this im not sure who they are playing.
the old evertonian will never give rafa credit, all season he has talked about negative tactics but he rejoices when everton win with these same so called negative tactics.
its ok and proper to stand up for your old club but when u are a supposed to be respected football pundit he should even pretend a little bit to be neutral

Andy Gray's FA Cup final

t's fair to say we're due an entertaining FA Cup final and we might just get it in Cardiff on Saturday afternoon.

The calibre of player Liverpool have in their ranks combined with the way Alan Pardew's team like to play football, we could get a really smashing game.

For me it depends on West Ham. If they are the same team that played the first-half of the semi-final against Boro at Villa Park, I don't think they have a chance.

They may have anywhere near as much pressure on them as they did at the Millennium Stadium last year but it is still a huge game for them and mentally they've got to be right.

You'd expect Liverpool to settle first, to get their passing game going and Steven Gerrard on the ball. If the Hammers lose a goal then it's a long way back.

Yet they have proved game opposition all year. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has enjoyed watching them and a 10th-placed finish on their return to the top flight is fantastic.

I also want to praise the manager for the job he has done. But it's not only what he’s done on the field, it's the way he goes about his business off it too.

Alan has invited me into his office on a couple of occasions when we've been at Upton Park and I've really enjoyed talking to him. Not everybody is that open and friendly.

Five days before West Ham were weaving a way out of the Championship last year, Liverpool were being crowned champions of Europe. It's another way of seeing how far West Ham have come.

Now i believe we are a bit over confident but andy gray seems to relate been invited to a private bevvy with alan pardew as a sign they are going to snatch this cup.....................the guy is a big fat friggin idiot..........not pardew i mean the fat one
