The Greatest Cup Competition In The World

The FA Cup.
The single greatest cup competition in the world.

The magic of the great cup continues, as Everton look to win their first piece of silverware under manager David Moyes.
Chairman Bill Kenwright has always said that his one goal is to one day hold up a trophy to crown his success at the club. Kenwright is an Everton fan himself, and he has said that he will treat FA Cup final day as an experience, just like any other Everton fan.

Wouldn't hear Roman Abramovich saying that now, would you?

Everton are a fantastic side with a manager to match. Since arriving as an unknown manager from Preston all those years ago, David Moyes has created a legacy at Everton, establishing them as probably the 'Best of the Rest' in the Premier League.
However, there is one blot on his CV. Moyes has never won a Cup trophy. Beating Chelsea would be the crowning glory for a manager who has completely transformed his Everton side.

What is more amazing is that in a season where Everton have been blighted by injuries to key players, Everton have had continued success. Mikel Arteta, probably the club's best player, has been missing since February, and the club have been without an out-and-out striker for large parts of the season, yet Moyes has still managed to lead them to 5th place in the League and an FA Cup Final. Moyes doesn't even know the meaning of the words 'squad rotation' (take note Messers O'Neill and Benitez) and he has excelled by mixing his experienced stars with young players such as Rodwell and Gosling.

Everton's determination to be victorious in the FA Cup has helped to restore some of the magic of the cup that was damaged by comments from Reading in the not too distant past where manager and player Dave Kitson dismissed the FA Cup as "irrelevant".

On the other hand, the FA Cup was probably the least of Chelsea's worries a few months ago but after conceding defeat in the race for the title, and then their controversial exit from the Champions League, the FA Cup has been left as the only way for manager Guus Hiddink to get his hands on some silverware before returning to Russia.
There isn't much about Chelsea to say, that you won't already know. They are one of the best clubs in the land, and the players will be desperate to give Hiddink a good send off.

It's going to be one hell of a final.
Who am I supporting?

Well, in the battle of money - the team who have it against the team who don't, I will be rooting for the team who I feel deserve it.
Everton deserve it. Bill Kenwright deserves it. David Moyes deserves it.
