Episode 156 - 2015 FA Cup Final

On today's episode, Mike and Ryland make their picks for the FA Cup Final between Arsenal and Aston Villa.

Mike prefaces his pick by expressing his thoughts on the NFL Los Angeles situation - and how it relates to the FA Cup Final.

The picks:

Mike - Arsenal 1-2 Aston Villa
Ryland - Arsenal 2-3 Aston Villa

Like all picks, these picks are subject to batsu game.  Since both Mike and Ryland picked Villa, this would be a group batsu situation.

Mike also updates the promotion/relegation situation throughout the top tiers of English football:

Premier League: Bournemouth and Watford promoted; Burnley and QPR relegated
FL Championship: Bristol City and MK Dons ("the Baltimore Ravens of English football") promoted; Millwall, Wigan and Blackpool relegated
FL1: Burton Albion, Shrewsbury Town and Bury promoted; Notts County, Crawley Town, Leyton Orient and Yeovil Town relegated
FL2: Barnet promoted; Cheltenham Town and Tranmere Rovers relegated

We close today with an Aston Villa fan song called "Aston Villa Lion Hearts Anthem."  You can find the song at this link.
