Excuse my ignorance, but was the FA cup final always played before the league was completed?

I had to check, and normally you are right

The final is normally held the Saturday after the Premier League season finishes in May

Oh dear for Burnley ... dodgy pen though?

I'm not so sure of that. If Leeds win today and their final match they have 40 points. With two games to go Burnley can hit the same number and their goal difference is vastly superior. Crucial game at Villa for Burnley on Thursday, I think that's the one it all hangs on.

Could be right, but I fancy Brighton against Leeds.

I would agree I think the best Leeds can hope for is a point today.

BHA already up! Look they have beaten Man U, Spurs, Arsenal, Wolves last couple of months ... they are on a great run.

West Ham 2-0 up against City. Blimey. Only half time etc, but all the same…

Sad result in the end really (for me) .
Can't see City blowing this whatever LFC do

Nah agree, Peps lads are champs.

Stockport win and re-enter the football league as champions. @potsy last seen orbiting the moon.

Yep, my friend two doors up is celebrating!

Certainly looks that way, unless Villa can do something miraculous.

What a fantastic season, thought we'd blown it after the Wrexham game but the team rallied again!

Got a feeling we'll storm L2 next season as well

Not good to hear that many Liverpool supporters booed our national anthem and especially 'the cup final hymn' abide with me. Whatever their reasons I found it very disrespectful!

No. It was usually competed for the weekend after the league had finished. There has been a scheduled ‘winter break’ in the Prem for the first time, so this would be the most likely reason the FA cup has happened before the league completion.
