Where's the invention?

Liverpool keep coming. The kings of scoring late goals will not panic. All sorts of time left. Wimbledon are chasing shadows - it can only be a matter of time until the Reds' class shows. Surely?

Wimbledon's all-time record goalscorer Alan Cork comes off, replaced by former Real Madrid winger Laurie Cunningham.

Will a player ever swap the Bernabeu for Plough Lane again? I wonder. Cork could have another big day out at Wembley yet, though time is against him.

The pattern has been well and truly set now. Liverpool patiently probe, Wimbledon scrap and harry. Ray Houghton's cross is easily claimed by Dave Beasant. A few tired legs out there for the Dons. It's a very warm May day.

BBC FA Cup final commentator John Motson at Wembley

"There are 98,000 people here, and millions around the world, wondering if Wimbledon have set Liverpool a puzzle that even the league champions may find difficult to solve."

Is that handball? Wimbledon defender Andy Thorn may have got away with one there. Referee Brian Hill will certainly have questions to answer after this one.

Scott in Derby: Not a sleeve tattoo or a silly coloured football boot in sight in 1988.....those were the days!!

John Aldridge, scorer of 26 league goals for the champions, has barely had a sniff this afternoon. Wimbledon have done a great job on him. You get the feeling that a man of his predatory nous will get at least one good chance though.

Liverpool still controlling all of the ball but Wimbledon working so hard. Denying them room, space, time. The Liverpool who demolished Forest 5-0 just the other week have not been seen so far today.

Wimbledon pump the ball long, Vinnie Jones gambles on winning the second ball but Alan Hansen steps out to make the interception. John Barnes then nutmegs Clive Goodyear brilliantly on the right. Barnes appears to have cut his shackles, roaming away from the left wing. A free role.

This star-studded Liverpool side cost an eye-watering £6m to assemble. Hard to imagine.

The XI in Red are 45 minutes away from the ultimate Cupset though. Surely men as schooled in the game as Hansen, Barnes and Beardsley can overcome a team as limited in resources and ambition as Wimbledon?

We are back under way in the 1988 FA Cup final. Are we about to witness sporting history?

Vinnie Jones puts a fresh shirt on, John Fashanu bellows a roar to his team-mates. More of the same from the Dons?

There goes the bell in the Wembley tunnel. Time for the second half - no changes for either side.

Chris Ford: Marching band on the pitch at half time! How times change! The groundsmen would see that as monster trucks nowadays!

So far, so amazing for Bobby Gould.

Dennis Wise thoroughly impressed me in that first-half. He looks a really classy player for Wimbledon. They'll do well to hold on to him.

Pete from Monaco: We were on the terrace behind the penalty save and goal - excellent day! Saw Dave Bassett in the car park afterwards as well, looking like a man who had just watched his ex-wife win the lottery!

Mark in Dartmouth: As a 10 year old Liverpool fan I had a mullet just like Steve McMahon. My dad bought me a big bottle of Vimto for the match. Still can't believe we lost. Never touched Vimto again and never will. It's all Aldridge's fault.

Bob Wilson, BBC pundit at Wembley

"We have heard that Dennis Wise is involved in about 75 per cent of their goals.

"He puts the free-kick in, Alan Cork makes a lovely run in front of Lawrie Sanchez, a glance and no chance. That is a beautifully executed set-piece."

"Let's enjoy a little music before we pick up the second half."

That's why you're the best, Des. Sure, we could have some more analysis and punditry. But how often do we have a massive marching band on the Wembley pitch to enjoy?
