    I heard that the cup is to be parachuted in to the ground with Powell jumping out of the plane after it like in the james bond film. Grabbing it just in time to open the chute and land in the centre circle

    Wouldn't it be more appropriate for the cup to perform some kind of tunnel jump?

    I heard from a insider, someone from the FA is going to hand the cup to JJ like they normally do. Please don't let the cat out the bag

    I was told that it's to be carried on a huge tidal wave into the Valley created by the opening of the Thames Barrier.


    Or was I watching Basil Brush?

    I heard Ched Evans was delivering it as he wants to talk to Chris Powell about our clean sheets this season, it seems he is after a job in the prison laundry

    Just as there are 8,000 Olympic torches this year (That's about 7,998 more than you'd think they need, allowing for breakages) there will be many more cups at The Valley than are strictly necessary. There will in fact be 27,000 of them. The sprinkler system will be spraying out hundreds of gallons of Armand de Brignac and every man, woman and child in the ground will be personally invited onto the pitch to charge their own personal cups with premium shampoo, salute the team and meet the Mysterons.

    But remember if you want any chance of having second helpings of the lovely bubbly, you'll have to run on the pitch nice and early ;-)

    Heard this the other day. Red Arrows apparently... we'll see.

    Will they be bringing Paul Bensons medal with them?

    I've just booked to jump with them. Problem is when I land it will leave a crater that Paddy Powell will spend an hour filling in so delaying kick-off and meaning we'll all miss the FA Cup Final.

    I thought the FA banned parachuting into football grounds after father christmas injured himself at Villa park in the late 1990s.

    I heard there's going to be a massive cup replica on the pitch, which Olly is going to jump out of as the teams run out.
