United (N) - Sat 25th May | 2024 FA Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

[Oldham Exile]

I may be a miserable old fart but I’ve been in the ground twice recently when the Poznań was started during a City attack when we looked like we might score. I decided I’d rather watch the game.

I have never understood why we cannot do the Poznan facing the pitch

 

[ufo]

the timing on that lol. hopefully derails the lot of them

Wow what a smart move . Agent omar earning his bread

 

[TFC]

Fucking hell, I am going to be distraught if we somehow let this fucking rabble slip one past us ffs

Then it wouldn't be the Poznan

Nice loud rendition of "Sacked in the morning..." tomorrow then?

Could well be teatime, ‘sacked before bedtime, getting sacked be……….’

 

[Chris Holmes]

Tomorrow's Cup Final programme is better than usual.
Nice features on Pep Phil, Bernardo, and Gundo, some FA Cup history and other stuff.

Is the correct answer to a stupid question

 

[M12Blue]

Same XI that we had versus West Ham for me. Despite how shit United are, it's tough to beat many teams three times in one season, let alone your rivals so I expect a tighter game than the last two.

2-1 City in ET. Foden winner.

‘Rivals’ you say, not currently

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Do not get all cocky. That is what they did. Look where it ends. One game. We are favourites. That is all.

I'm not but one game????

Not in my lifetime.

 

[incred]

We should sing 'Things can only get better ' tomorrow. Seems a favourite song at present!

 

[blue b4 the moon]

I live in Zakynthos. Palm Tree bar in Alykes for me.

Random as fuck but, just been chatting to a guy in the pub me Oxford (staying at my lads before going to the game) he's got a rescue dog from Zante, what a lovely chilled animal.

 

[M12Blue]

7 seconds this time.

Missed opportunity, let’s not be greedy, 115 seconds would suffice

I was thinking last night what if City in the dark years before 2008 got to the FA Cup final and faced United.
City getting to an FA Cup final again would have been so special. But facing a powerful United and up against it and facing a hammering with A City team full of average players would be HARD to swallow,

For be our best chance of facing United in an FA Cup final would have been in Kevin Keagan's era, But it still would have been a big ask to take on United at that time, Yes we got some good results against them at home, but away from our home it was bleak,

 

[M12Blue]

Is it europa or nothing for them lot tomorrow

We drew away under royle, drew away under keegan, won away under sven

Agree, their bus is going to get ‘an Anfield rd’ welcome. Feel a bit dirty with this one

Look... Wigan was going down and somehow City managed to lose..
NEVER take a game of football for granted as a win, Playing the Mr billy Big bollocks before Kick off can come back to bite you on the bum.

Fit squad bar eddie, tough call as to who will play , i really want the boys who played well in the run in but i think he might pick out of form ones just so they are included , either way we must win it and score first
