Feels great that we have an FA Cup final as well to come. Its been a mentally exhausting title race as a fan and this just feels like the perfect chance to relax and just enjoy it.

Hope so. Love this 11 and think it’s our most entertaining and lethal. Would love to not have a cagey cup final and have an awesome performance that reinforces everything about this club right now.

They got spanked by West Ham and have Holebas suspended. They will obviously raise their game for the final and we need to watch out for Deulofeu. No doubt Foster will have his usual worldie against us as well. But as always if our players turn up there is no one that can stop us.

Foster won’t be playing

This would be amazing, not sure it'll happen though. Gonna be a long week waiting for this game, and a summer without football doesn't bear thinking about

I might be wrong but I think Gomes is playing in nets Saturday!

Remember the rag song:

“Here’s to you Vincent Kompany, you’ll never win the treble and you know...”

Bring it home Vinnie.

And then let’s sing it back to them like “this is how it feels to be City”

Yeah i f I remember correctly, Foster himself has come out and said publicly that he doesn't want to play this game as it should be Gomes'. Pretty big gesture from him really considering this is probably his only chance to ever play in a game of this magnitude and he's had a fantastic season.

Watford are appealing the Holebas red.

IF we win this, is it going to be City v Red Dippers in the charity shield?

We should be playing ourselves tom be fair if we have won everything. :)

Think so, normally first v second if the champs win the double.

*coughs* treble.

Watford were incredibly well drilled when they came to the Etihad, and it took a strange goal for us to prise them open, after which they lost their minds for ten minutes. Perhaps the occasion will get to Watford, but I doubt it and just want to see us go out and play our football.

Agreed.

The Community Shield should be between City 'A' team v City 'B' team.

Arteta can manage the 'Challengers'.
;)

Holebas, one of their best players, got sent off so is banned.

Come on City, one more game to make history.

Aren’t they appealing that, along the grounds of ‘its unfair for him to miss it due to a league red card’. YCMIU
