Maybe I should put off my visit to town until this afternoon because it might be quieter 😁

Enjoy your day. I will be watching Eurovision later and playing message hockey with student DD who loves Eurovision.

Lunarlightning · 16/05/2026 09:12

@RampantIvy prob best. 3pm kick off.

You lost me at Man City. Oh, and Eurovision, load of pish

Brontisaurus · 16/05/2026 09:13

Sounds great!

I have fond memories of FA Cup Final day as a kid - it used to feel like such an event and consume all the TV coverage.

Makemeinvisible · 16/05/2026 09:14

Well I can't stand Eurovision and I'm afraid I dislike both teams in the FA Cup final. But I hope you enjoy your perfect day.

Personally I'm very much invested in the Celtic Hearts title decider today. I won't enjoy it - unless Hearts take very decisive lead early on, and even then it will be nail biting until the final whistle. But definitely the game adds a lot of excitement to today and I'll be shouting at the tv with enthusiasm

YANBU

Unfortunately, one of the DC has a tournament this afternoon. Thinking of sitting in the car with R5 on. It would be wrong to hope they get knocked out in the early stages, right...?

On the plus side, they are the most staunch Eurovision loyalist in the family (after me), so I suppose I can forgive them.

Holesintheground · 16/05/2026 09:15

Do they still sing Abide With Me at the FA cup final? Remember watching it with my dad. I'll be watching Eurovision. Can't believe they don't collide more often!

OrangeMochaFrappuccino · 16/05/2026 09:18

Football, I can take or leave. Eurovision, love it! Can’t wait. I’ve just re watched Eurovision Song Contest:The Story of Fire Saga this morning to get me in the mood. The British media is annoying me though as they’re stating how bad our entry was received on Thursday and it’s just not the case.

Scrumbless · 16/05/2026 09:19

I don’t support either but that’s also what I’ll be doing!

My 13 year old and I will be watching both.

Sadcafe · 16/05/2026 09:23

Doubtless with a switch over to Britains got no talent during the gap between the two, somebody pass me some red hot needles!!!!!!

Yes! Amazing how the Scottish league has turned out. Usually dull as ditchwater but finally a non-Old Firm club looking very good for the title, and proper down to the wire.

Everything crossed for Hearts!

Buscobel · 16/05/2026 09:38

Each to his own!

Watching football and Eurovision are not activities that happen in this house.

Makemeinvisible · 16/05/2026 09:38

Absolutely @Brontisaurus !!!

RampantIvy · 16/05/2026 09:42

It's just great when people rain on your parade although, admittedly, I did drizzle on the cup final part 😁

Bigearringsbigsmile · 16/05/2026 09:48

Yep- having a party here! Just hoping the rain stays away as we're planning a bbq!

Hey now, no need to start flinging these sorts of aspersions about.

RaraRachael · 16/05/2026 09:55

OH will watch the football while I do something else then he will go to the pub at night while my son and I watch Eurovision.

Works perfectly for us as we have no interest in each other's thing.

Come on Hearts ♥️ ❤️ 💜

ilovesooty · 16/05/2026 11:44

I'm at Wembley today and I'll be watching Eurovision in my hotel room tonight. Going home tomorrow.

Henowner · 16/05/2026 11:48

It's a fantastic day @Lunarlightning !

I don't have a preferred winner in the FA Cup, good luck 🤞

MasterBeth · 16/05/2026 11:52

YABU. The Cup Final has been degraded by the inevitable appearance of the oligarch / oil states / Superleague cartel clubs. Can't wait for Man City's 112 charges to be punished and only hope they're not let off with a fine, like the Chelsea cheats.

JustGiveMeReason · 16/05/2026 11:59

I imagine the crossover, on the Venn Diagram, of people who love football, and people who love Eurovision, is quite small Grin

BluePony · 16/05/2026 12:13

Like @Makemeinvisibleand @BrontisaurusI’m very invested in the Old Firm game today, albeit for the other team 😅 (Celtic if you’re not au fait with Scottish football).

Old firm game ? Old firm game!

I don't think Hearts will take kindly to being morphed into Rangers!
