FA Cup final and Saturday football open thread

Folks, I’m not going to lie. I googled Premier League Schedule <enter> and was extremely confused that there were NO Premier League football matches on what looked to me like a perfectly good Saturday. Until I was reminded that it’s the FA Cup final day. So that happened.

So this is your open thread for that match between Chelsea and Liverpool, one that I think we can all agree we hope ends with both teams sinking into the Thames. But there’s more interesting football that’s also available to you — there are semifinal legs for both the Championship and League Two playoffs happening today, and those look kinda fun. You could check those out if you don’t feel like hate-watching a stupid domestic cup final with two unpalatable teams.

But that’s just me. Hey, do what you want. This is YOUR open thread and the usual rules still apply.
