Congratulations to Anthony & his team. Especially happy for Adam
Nunn who I've had a soft spot for since he was a mere nipper!
I like that it hasn't gone to someone who hasn't had it yet
purely because it would lose some of that specialness.

Common sense appointment really as it wouldn't be the same
without fans and family. Though Wembley is plenty big enough for
all involved family to be there socially distant.

Taylor gets to do Arsenal V Chelsea again! I think he had a very
good game in 2017.
I thought it might go to someone who's not had it previously,
although personally I think Dean and Oliver have probably had
better seasons. I thought Taylor was very good for the first
half but less so for the second half.
This does suggest Taylor is viewed as number 1 currently by the
powers that be.

Your last paragraph is the one that concerns me as I regard
Oliver as a far more reliable and natural referee. And as has
been said, Taylor hasn’t had the best of seasons either.
Maybe more pally with Elleray than Oliver is?

Pleased for Anthony and his team - with mention to Adam Nunn and
Chris Kavanagh for whom this will be their first final.
I think it is sensible that it has gone to someone who has
already had it, it would have been a shame for someone new to
get it when the occasion will be so different to usual.

If it had been decided that it should go a referee who had
already taken a Final, then my choice would have been Mike Dean
for reasons I mentioned previously.
Although, like Hendo, I prefer Oliver to Taylor, I don't think
either have had their best seasons. I would also agree that the
collective evidence suggests that Taylor is viewed as Number 1,
but if that is Riley's opinion too, I don't place much weight on
it.
However, all the Best to Anthony Taylor and his team on the day.
I suspect microscopist and I have little interest in the result
of the game being as our respective Manchester teams failed
miserably in the semis!

Taylor, Kavanagh & Atwell. This will be the TWENTIETH time this
season Arsenal have had one of these officials.
We could amost run a betting ring on these types of decisions.
ZERO thought gone into this by PGMOL.

Congratulations to Anthony and his team, my personal preference
given the unique circumstances would of been to give it someone
who isn't likely to get the Cup final. I would of gone With
Graham Scott personally someone who I think has turned into a
Solid SG1 referee over the last couple of seasons.
