Can't abide Man United. So as much as City are sort of problematic and are turning into everything they didn't like about United, I'd like to see a City win.

Amazing to see the future King of England stood waiting at the back while the two teams go out into the pitch.

Ought to be cheering for our feeder-club, but want to have Wout come on and score a hat trick to overturn their two goal lead; should add £10 million to his value

I just want to see how many Haaland can score in one season, his achievements this season are something we've never witnessed before.

Not to bothered about either to be honest but even though I'd like to see City do the treble, a plucky win from the underdogs against their city rivals would be fun. Whatever happens, I only hope it's an exciting game.

Looks like a spectacular display pre-match.
Going 2-0 City.

Agreed. Whether it be luck of the draws or our league visits, these two teams have always been the thorns for us, and it’s not even close.*

* This applies to my fanship, which started n 2009.

Don’t these foreign Managers understand the FA Cup is an English prestige event and it’s compulsory ( we’ll it should be) to wear a suit shirt and tie. Anyway, City will be too strong for them.

I’ve just looked at the Royal Box and Queen Victoria isn’t there.

Unlucky thirteen seconds for United

Utd's tactics just gone up in smoke.

4:20 · Post by **4:20** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:03 pm

that's got to be the quickest final goal ever surely

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:03 pm

Wow

What a start

4:20 · Post by **4:20** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:03 pm

what an incredible volley. brilliant goal

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:04 pm

That's quicker than Chelsea v Boro

Roberto di Matteo scored early for Chelsea in a final but not that early.

equinox · Post by **equinox** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:04 pm

Even under Dyche we held out longer than that.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:05 pm

City surely can't be serious about letting Gundogan leave this summer, pure class

I was thinking that was the next quickest, about 40 secs I think. But commentator just mentioned Louis Saha was quicker.

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:05 pm

This is like pulling teeth.

It’s a shame they can’t both lose, but seeing as who our manager will be supporting, I suppose I’d have to plump for City.

Just googled it and found 45 seconds

There's FFP issues of course but by heck this City side are fun to watch. They're just another level to anything I've seen before. Sure, vast amounts of money involved but Guardiola is a genius.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:07 pm

DeMatteo was 43 secs, Saha (I'd forgotten) was 25 secs

4:20 · Post by **4:20** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:08 pm

Unreal are this City team. Light years ahead of their competition.

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:09 pm

Wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world to see United river boated by City.

How is that not a straight red ?

beddie · Post by **beddie** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:14 pm

How come Casemero doesn’t get a yellow. Var is shocking.

distortiondave · Post by **distortiondave** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:15 pm

I like a blood and thunder tackle as much as the next man, but surely Casemiro should be off for that?

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:15 pm

Good thing about the early goal is that United now have to attack

Just hope that City don’t just “hold onto the lead” (not that I think they would)

Might be my fault, I've got him down to get a card on my accy...so probably means he won't

VAR decided he'd already had enough red cards this season.

4:20 · Post by **4:20** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:18 pm

angry so and so is that Bruno. Can see him stressing his way into a booking at some point.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:19 pm

The problem with VAR.
Coote is not allowed to tell Tierney that the foul is the other way or that Casemiro should get a yellow. They are so restricted in what they can do.

4:20 · Post by **4:20** » Sat Jun 03, 2023 3:19 pm

Utds centre halves like statues letting Haaland in like that

Kyle Walker is so important to this City side, gets them out of trouble so many times with his pace.
