What's that? There's a match on?

How are the mighty fallen!  It's not that long ago that the F A Cup Final was one of the great sporting fixtures of the year.  Can you remember when the BBC's coverage lasted most of the day, starting around 10 o'clock in the morning and including all sorts of F A Cup Final-themed programmes (It's a Cup Final Knockout, anyone?).  It's now only shown on ITV (no disrespect folks, but you don't have the cachet of the BBC) and this year they moved the kick-off time from the traditional 3.00 p.m. to 5.15.  The name remains, but the magic has gone, I feel.
