FA Cup Final 2024

[stavros]

This has kind of crept up, and to be honest I'm not exactly looking forward to it. A Manchester derby, the only way I can see it being much good is if United take an early lead.

On the plus side, they reinstated the kick-off at 3pm.

I'm hoping for a Man U win so they don't sack Ten Hag and leave Keiron McKenna alone.

They're surely more like to court Poch, now he's available, I'd have thought.

The Clash Of The Cash!

There's zero FA Cup romance about this merchandise-shifting encounter but I hope Man Utd win (unlikely, I know) just so something slightly unpredictable happens.

I miss the time when the world seemed to stop dead for the FA Cup Final.

Fuck the Premier League and fuck Man City and the rest of these multi billion dollar football industries that are killing the game.

 

[planetgeli]

Pretty tedious so far

 

[planetgeli]

City LOL

 

[Wilf]

Oh!

 

[May Kasahara]

Unexpected comedy goal

 

[blairsh]

They can both fuck off but weirdly rooting for united

 

[Wilf]

Good to see Martinez back. Seeing him now is like entering a parallel universe where last season's improvements carried on.

 

[blairsh]

Shame...

 

[planetgeli]

LOL LOL LOL

 

[blairsh]

...and that is two!

 

[Wilf]

Holy sweet fuck!

 

[Wilf]

Never win anything with kids.

 

[blairsh]

Mainoo ftw! Back of the net.

 

[May Kasahara]

I do like Kobbie Mainoo. Quality team goal, that.

 

[editor]

I take it all back. This is great!

Also this for me

 

[Wilf]

So which manager is getting sacked tomorrow?

 

[Silas Loom]

Lol. I thought this was a friendly but it’s actually the qualifier for the Charity Shield. And if City won this game, they’d then have to play Arsenal who might actually get something from this season. So it’s all working out well.

 

[Wilf]

Just keep city out till half time...

 

[Steel Icarus]

Still Eric Ten Bob.

[Steel Icarus]

Good match this. De Bruyne looks yards off the pace, United are congesting the pitch, Haaland again disappears in a big match, Foden given no space.

 

[planetgeli]

Good of City not to show up for the first half, defenders and keeper especially.

BUT

Quick sweepstake on the time of City's first goal?

46:54

 

[Wilf]

Hate to tempt fate... but have city even had a decent chance?

Edi I'd better shut up!

 

[oryx]

If it was City who were 2-0 up I would say it was game over ( even though I'm a Man U fan!) but City have been so strong this season, there is every chance they can pull two back.

Exciting match after a dull start, during which OH and I entertained ourselves by trying to decide who has the worst hair.

On the pitch or in your home?

Interested to hear what conclusions you came to on this.

Me too. Nobody stands out.
