"Though United dominated local football from 2008 until 2010 with three consecutive Absa Premiership titles, Hunt has failed to guide them this far in the cup competitions."
========================================================================
A team that has failed to win any cup except for the league; can not claim to have dominated local football; unless the other tournaments do not count or were not on offer for that period. Whilst it is every coaches dream to win the league for a number of reasons, it must be noted that if that is all the team wins then they have not dominated anything, if they failed to win the rest of the trophies that were on offer.
I wish both both supersport and sundowns well in the final, may the best team win.

Sanity should prevail, we can't have Tswane darby in Soweto, as people of Pretoria we want to economically grow our people, This Game should be a thank you to all Tswane people for supporting the teams this far, so it make sense that the cup final should be in Pretoria, can you imagine the benefits the hotels and B&B could have, the hawkers at the stadium, PSL & Nrdbank must use their head and not to be gready, I call on them to respect us the supporters and the Pretoria communities, This game should be at Pretoria not Orlando.

They must use the toss of a coin, like they have been doing all the games, the winner will have a benefit to use home ground. It just dont make sense to take two Pretoria team to Soweto, Pretoria people should be given a chance to celebrate at their home ground with their families and the hawkers outside, I know some of them will be giving food for free after their team has won, they can't do that in Orlando, far from home. Sky is the Limit, Tswe Yellow tsa Motsepe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

@Lesson1 not even Princes magogo, at Lucas moripe, it does not make sense member, and nog so the game will be played at night ko soweto, can you imagine a family from Pretoria ko soweto at nite, say after 11pm. I hope they will come to their senses and do the right thing. Lucus Moripe stadium is the right choice for both teams, it feel home for all of them, can you imagine the benefit of those hawkers outside the stadium? the community B&B's, Taxis from town to Attrville. This will leave Pretoria very rich

Guys, I understsnd how this final cup would mean to the community of Tshwane but the decision has been taken to stage the final ko soweto. You rather come together as Masandawana supporters and take all the brooms, vacuum cleaners, magazine and remove all the cobwebs in your cabinet to accomodate this elusive cup.

How some of these decisions are made is really amazing.How can you expect Manchester United and Man City play their derby in London?This ridiculous.since it has eluded Orlando Pirates..why does it still have to be played in Orlando.The derby must be played in Pirara.

I think the PSL is doing a good thing by taking the final to Soweto. At least that way, when Motsepe's Millionaires FC loses, then Johan "Glenfidditch" Neeskens can make a clean getaway from the stadium and escape the hooligan fans of Motsepe's Millionaires FC

I think the decision was taken in order to HONOUR Pirates for dominating Mzansi's soccer. The champs were tipped to sweep all cups this season but unfortunately Steve"Blacky" Khompela had other ideas.
hail Pirates, Hail the Treble champs of Mzansi.

Not only the sky is the limit, Bucs is the limit.
