never has an fa cup final seen a bigger margin of victory.est team in the world for me, you know? to set such a high standard for such a long period of time. i'm not talking one year, i'm talking two years running. what a team. it's an incredible year for us. incredible. big congratulations, especially to the players, of course. they are the reason why we won. their feet finished with one last climb. up to the royal box to seal a regal triumph. vincent kompany lifting the prize, and his club to a dizzying height. well, manchester cityjust get better and better. they are collecting silverware at a rate english football has rarely seen. this was the day they made history, and by the looks of it, they're hungry for even more. the best club team in women's football, lyon, one forthe the best club team in women's football, lyon, one for the fourth yearin football, lyon, one for the fourth year ina football, lyon, one for the fourth year in a row. they thrashed barcelona for having one in the final in budapest. their start was once again the norweg

this is your faith fa cup favourite day of the year. this is yourfaith fa cup final commentating?s a commentator. do you still get nervous? i woke up ata do you still get nervous? i woke up at a quarter to six this morning and the brain started ticking over. just pure excitement. it is notjust another game. there is something special about it. wembley for watford, they have not been through too many times before. and still is too many times before. and still is to get out of the tube station and they see the arch, it looms large, they see the arch, it looms large, they will get a little flutter. for manchester city fans, a bit more of the day at the office, but still pretty special. the chance to become history makers for manchester city. the fact that we have four english teams in european finals, what manchester city have done this season has been unfairly overlooked. this has never been done before. bob paisley‘s liverpool never did it, alex ferguson's manchester united didn't do it. this would be a remarkable achievement if manchester city pulled it off. some might say it's th

for these thousands of fa ns and chelsea.ousands of fans entering the olympic stadium it is mission accomplished for them. just to get here all the way from london for those hardcore fans, their season ticket holders. but they really should be more of them. azerbaijan's 0lympic they really should be more of them. azerbaijan's olympic stadium is ready. uefa say they deserve to stage this final. but... i will bring you the rest of the day of sports news. including, the oval will play host to the opening match of the cricket world cup where england take on south africa. the gates opened 90 minutes ago. we are 90 minutes away from the europa league final between arsenal and chelsea. this london derby away to the east in europe, about as far east as you can go before you venture outside uefa. so many controversies about where this vinyl is. the fans very disappointed not just with that money they have had to shell out to follow their teams, but the difficulty in getting here. somejust said it but the difficulty in getting here. so
