Alan Hansen, a wonderful talker in front of the cameras there. A future for him?

Pasta? Nah. Energy supplements? Nah. Solitary, sad looking green leaf? That'll do.

Throw in a couple of pies and some beans and that's a pretty hearty looking pre-match meal right there. Liverpool have brought their own chef down to Watford to prepare this lot. Can't take any chances on Cup Final day.

With kick-off less than an hour away, it's worth remembering that Aston Villa and Tottenham are the most decorated teams in the competition's history with seven wins apiece.

Can anyone catch them? Wimbledon have never won the Cup of course, while Liverpool have won three times.

BBC Sport reporter Tony Gubba at the Liverpool team hotel in Watford: "Nigel Spackman has a two-inch cut right across his eyebrow, and Gary Gillespie has one across his nose after their clash of heads last week.

"They are held together with stitches but can they head a football without them opening up and filling their eyes with blood?"

Andrew from Richhill: I don't know about you, but I don't hold much hope for poor little Wimbledon this afternoon. Liverpool weren't runaway league champions this season for no reason. They played some great football this year and things could get embarrassing at Wembley today. This could be 5-0 or 6-0.

Jenni in Newtownards: 80,000 people at Wembley will be a bit of a culture shock to these Wimbledon players compared to the 8,000 they normally play in front of at Plough Lane. The occasion will get to Wimbledon and Liverpool's seasoned pros will breeze through to more FA Cup glory.

Wimbledon striker John Fashanu at the team's hotel: "A few of the lads have had a 24-hour bug, sore throat, can't sleep - but it could be down to nerves I guess.

"But the mood here is great. It's a lads' day out! That's the way we do things here."

BBC Sport reporter Gerald Sinstadt at Wimbledon's team hotel: "Wimbledon as a club have never been afraid of challenging preconceptions and their plush hotel does that again.

"I recall few teams who have been more like their 'normal selves' on the big day.

"Most players will admit that they haven't slept too well but as defender Clive Goodyear put it, 'it's like going to bed on Christmas Eve.'

A Wimbledon fan tells the BBC that in six years of watching Wimbledon 'he has never seen a boring game.'

Is long ball the future of English football?

The champions versus the contenders; pass and move versus the hopeful punt; Barnes and Beardo versus Fash and Bash.

It has all the ingredients of a cracker - but if Wimbledon concede early on you fear for them.

But for the next few hours it is. This is FA Cup Rewind, as we look back on one of the great FA Cup occasions as part of our build up to this evening's live BBC One game, AFC Wimbledon v Liverpool.

So play along, transport yourselves back to 1988 and let us know your thoughts before and during the game. Alternatively, let us know your memories of the game and we'll include them in our 'Fast Forward' sections...

But football isn't played on paper. And the Cup final is the arena where dreams are made.

Just ask Coventry City, who won here last year., external Or Luton Town, who famously shocked Arsenal to win the League Cup, external just a few months ago.

A third - and biggest - shock in a row? It could happen. Believe.

On paper, the 107th FA Cup final is a total mismatch. We have had the pleasure - or pain, depending who you support - of seeing this great Liverpool side of Kenny Dalglish's tear the First Division apart all season, cantering to the title by nine points and losing just twice all season.

New signings John Barnes and Peter Beardsley have been inspired additions to the side which won the double just two years ago in 1986, and the Reds are huge, overwhelming favourites to make it two doubles in three years this afternoon.

Standing in their way are a team of long-ball merchants in the top flight for just the second season of their existence. Wimbledon average under 8,000 fans for every home game at Plough Lane - today they play in front of millions.

Can the Crazy Gang hack the pressure?

Des Lynam
BBC presenter

"Fans make their way to Wembley for the 107th FA Cup final sure in their minds that they will see history made. If Liverpool win they will become the first team to complete the double for a second time.

"A Wimbledon win will see them achieve something even Liverpool cannot attain. They would be the only club this century to add the FA Cup to the amateur cup they won in 1963.

"It's the aristocrats v the artisans of football. Perhaps the best Football League team of all time against the Crazy Gang from south London."

"The sun is out, royalty is in the house and nearly 100,000 people are packed into Wembley Stadium.

"An estimated worldwide audience 400m eagerly await the big match up as the peerless Red Men of Liverpool take on the Crazy Gang from south London.

"The swagger, the artistry of Peter Beardsley, John Barnes and John Aldridge come up against the sheer force of will of John Fashanu, Vinnie Jones and Dennis Wise.

"In the red corner, with a league record this season of 26 wins and just two defeats, winners of 90 points and the Football League championship - the undisputed champions of England, Liverpool!

"In the blue corner, with a league record this season of 14 wins, 11 defeats and 57 points. A young side with just 11 years' experience in the league but possessing a knockout punch - Wimbledon!

"It's time for the main event. Let's Get Ready to Rumble!"
