So the FA Cup final is taking place in just over 3 weeks time on 21st May 2016. It will be a repeat of the 1990 final, with Man Utd taking on Crystal Palace. On that occasion, the match finished 3-3 and had to go to a replay, which Man Utd won 1-0.

The weather for those 2 games were as follows:
12th May 1990: 16c, cloudy with showers
17th May 1990: 22c, sunny

What will it be like this year?

Average high on 21st May is about 19c, so I will go for a sunny or partly cloudy, 15-20c day.

I think about the same as that, firstly, it's almost impossible to predict the weather a month in advance, second, I'm not seeing any particular weather pattern across the UK.

I picked "Cloudy/mostly cloudy, 15-20c"

I voted sunny/partly cloudy, 25c+.

All cup final days since 2000. 2000-2006 were played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, however I've used London Heathrow's figures, as with the other years. All courtesy of Tutiempo.

2016 May 21st: 27.7c (my extremely optimistic, and unlikely prediction)

2015 May 30th: 18.6c
2014 May 17th: 19.5c
2013 May 11th: 14.1c
2012 May 5th: 10.3c
2011 May 14th: 17.4c
2010 May 15th: 18c
2009 May 30th: 23.4c
2008 May 17th: 16c
2007 May 19th: 18c
2006 May 13th: 17.5c
2005 May 21st: 16.8c
2004 May 22nd: 16c
2003 May 17th: 16c
2002 May the 4th be with you:13.8c (Sorry)
2001 May 12th: 25c
2000 May 20th: 16c
1999 May 22nd: 17.6c
1998 May 16th: 24.2c
1997 May 17th: 26.6c
1996 May 11th: 12.6c
1995 May 29th: 20.2c
1994 May 14th: 20.1c
1993 May 15th: 15c
1993 May 20th: 14c

Apologies for slightly hijacking this thread, B87!

Isn't there a possibility of a team just in the Premier League will win after being outside of it for years? I go to a Creperie in the local market here, and the owner is from Italy. It is all he can talk about. I love bantering with him.


Leicester City is new to the PL right? How much are people in the UK rooting for them?

LOL you really don't understand how the competitions work. Premier League is not the same as FA Cup. They are two different tournaments. One is a league, the other one is a knockout competition.

This year? Spurs knocked them out of the FA Cup, back in January. It's a knock out competition, not the same as the Premier League.
They're still well clear at the top of the Premier League though. Absolutely incredible story if they win it!

What do you mean? I thought the top team when the season ends is the winner of the PL? Is the FA a different competition than being the PL champion?
