Red or blue?

Manchester City in a low scoring Final.

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 1:58 pm**

Red, can't stand benefactor clubs, that said wanting United to win isn't pleasant.

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 1:59 pm**

In the time honoured fashion I hope they both lose.

Rooney guest in BBC studio confirming he's the next Plymouth manager.

I have many friends who are Man Utd fans from school in Salford back in the 1960's. No secret that they don't like Ten Haag but am just wondering if the game goes beyond them early it might spark yet another protest in the form of supporters leaving the ground early. Time will tell.

Not bothered who wins,

So long as its not Manure.

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 2:09 pm**

Pity they can’t both lose.

This. I would rather watch paint dry.

Finding it hard to muster much interest. Would definitely prefer United to win though.

Around 21 degrees and sunny in Wembley this afternoon.

Drinks break?

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 2:47 pm**

City all day long.

Hope it’s at least 5-0

And jus to think we all got really excited once upon a time on cup final day no matter who was playing

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 2:49 pm**

Never understand why anyone would want a manufactured club (Man city) to win, but there you go.

Pep is clearly a great manager, but my lord his brand of football might be the most boring I have ever seen.

The sooner tippy tappy football dies the better.

I find watching City fascinating. In terms of movement and technique it doesn’t get any better.

Each to their own. I’d rather my team were patient and probed for openings against a low block, than forced passes that weren’t on and got caught on the counter.

We spent years bemoaning the inability of British to look after the ball on the highest stages. Now they can do it, it’s “boring”.

Particularly in the days before wall-to-wall footy on the telly.

1-0 United

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 3:31 pm**

The only good thing about this final is that it’s being played at the traditional 3pm kick off

Manufactured club? They are no more manufactured than any other club. They were founded years ago just like us.
I assume you mean a manufactured team? They are no more manufactured than any other team. They bought the players they field every week. It’s how much they have spent and where the money comes from that people have issue with, but if this was us, everyone would be loving it.

Where’s Ortega going there?

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 3:32 pm**

The oversaturation of live football is one of the reasons why the FA Cup is no longer what it was. Also, the prioritisation of the riches of the EPL and Champions League.

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 3:32 pm**

Poor by Citeh defenders.

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 3:33 pm**

Don’t watch it then, why put yourself through it?

There's not a whole lot British about Citeh though! 3 of the starting 11 today, foreign coaching staff, Arab owners etc etc.

I'm flitting between this match, the Scottish Cup Final, Golf in Belgium and Monaco GP trying to find something entertaining!

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 3:35 pm**

Never liked United and feel dirty wanting them to win!!

If this tippy tappy stuff is your cup of tea great.

I find it mind numbing watching defenders pass it for 5 minutes to try and find a break through.

Much prefer watching Klopp, Pochetino style football. Fast attacking football is so much more entertaining

Seeing David Silva, KDB and Foden live is one of the best experiences I’ve had as a football fan.

2-0
City all over the place.

You could’ve seen all those players at the Turf.

I much preferred it when we beat them.

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 3:41 pm**

Very good goal. City are pedestrian.

City way off it today. No edge to their play. Having said that United been very good and a lot better than anything I’ve seen from them this season.

Just curious as to why it would’ve been one of the best football experiences of your life.

As I said, it was much, much better when we beat them.

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 3:44 pm**

It looks as though Ten Haag is going to do a Louis Van Gaal and win the FA Cup Final before departure.

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 3:44 pm**

I’m allowed to appreciate a good footballer when I see one thanks.

You are.

But calling it one of the best footballing experiences of your life is possibly taking it a bit far.

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 3:46 pm**

What even when we beat them?

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 3:46 pm**

If City pull one back early doors second half, I don't think they'll lose.
But they don't look remotely like scoring at the moment.

Now if you’d have said watching us beat a Man City team riddled with huge stars was one of your best footballing experiences, I’d have wholeheartedly agreed with you.

Posted: **Sat May 25, 2024 3:49 pm**

Boring, boring City.

They’ll probably end up winning 3-2.
