Think it was always this way, can't really be surprised, it's very odd but one of those tournaments where you can be a losing semi finalists and it really mean nothing. Most people were pretty clear they'd go to Wembley but nothing else.
Financially I think various Uefa /Europa league campaigns were a bit like this for a while until they redid it and upped the prize money, you could have to take your pampered squad complete with staff, security, chefs etc all over eastern Europe and sort out ticketing and fan aspects without anyone really caring, but a few wins later you can be West ham and sing about being Champions of Europe.
Although you would have to imagine that Wembley costs an absolute fortune to open up for an event like this, so that’s going to put a bit of a dent in the match receipts.
When we beat Bleterborough on Sunday, I'd like to personally shove that article up Alan Swann's a**e. He really is a bitter twister individual who can't move on from 2019/20. I wonder what happened in his childhood to so affect him?
I suspect maybe he has an elder sibling who used to get more than 50% of his mother's attention. I hate to be in his house on Christmas Day when they start to unwrap the presents and he realises he's only been given a pair of socks and out of date chocolate.
Swanny really scraping the barrel for reasons there, too. I half expected him to say: "#9) The game takes place on the birthday of the wife of the second cousin of Peterborough's kit man, and her surname is Wynn."
Penile plethysmography (PPG) or phallometry is a measurement of blood flow to the penis, typically used as a proxy for measurement of sexual arousal. (Wiki)
Alan is the only man in the world whose PPG is activated by PPG
Obviously I want us to win, but it'll be so much better if it's by controversial means. An illegitimate last minute winner punched into the net would be the dream.

Do we know has many thousand reading fans are going. I want to make sure to thank them for the money.
They won't understand your gratitude - they think giving someone money makes you a vulture.
So considering most of us thought this competition was not worth playing in, we look like we are going to make quite a bit of money from this final.

We’ve made around £110k so far, another £100k if we win it plus 45% of a 40,000 ish gate.
Should just about cover Campbell’s wages for the half season since arriving on loan.
Mikheil who?
Plus Sky tv money maybe?

Hopefully both sides can put rivalries aside for one day and just enjoy being at Wembley for the Trophy.
OH
PPGFFS ALAN!!!!Alan does not understand the law of averages at all
Given that all the tickets are delivered electronically it does seem rather odd to end sales 71½ hours before kick-off.
48/24 hrs prior to kick-off (so at 4:30pm tomorrow/Saturday) I could get behind. But 5pm today is just arbitrary and for what reason?
Surely the longer you sell tickets for, the more you sell?
Prick
Brings Swann's nonsense back reading that.
Seemingly suggesting that every game should have had some sort of handicap ratio of difficulty and some sort of rating put together?
Utterly unworkable.
3) All runs come to an end
7) Posh always win at Wembley
Alan....You really are more of a partridge than a swann.
Swanny is going to be fuming if Wycombe win on the obscure "Goals Per Game" formula.
I think we should do the right thing and give the trophy to the team with the most fans and the biggest stadium.

Just finished laughing at point number 2. Most of the country won't have a clue Peterborough are playing, Alan.
You mean people won't be changing their profile icon on Twitter to the Peterborough badge with the hashtag #weareallposh?
Only if they're members of the Conservative party

Posh announce their total sales are... 22,636
I was relaxed about this game, but now I've realised they've got... Ronnie Edwards playing, I'm nervous.
I don't think I could stomach Alan going on about 'The Hand of Kone' every single day from 7pm on Sunday until the Sun explodes.
So Swann's got his numbers wrong - again.
Couldn't agree more.
Struggling to account for Liverpool beating Sheffield United this evening, the law of averages was crying out for a massive Blades resurgence.
