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

[ancoats]

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

We did..But an FA Cup Final at Wembley is a different ball game.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

All the best,atmospheric songs tomorrow.

No taking it for granted or easy.

Loud,proud and often,particularly if the game gets scrappy.

 

[skillman]

Can’t imagine their players will be that up for it knowing the manager is going. Somewhat undermining, no?

Mancini 2013 type vibes.

 

[xgorton]

Doku from the start please,love the way he beats people.

 

[M12Blue]

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.

Who’s playing mr billy big bollocks, the names not billy.
For a start Wigan was a long time ago and very different circumstances and city are not that city mentally.
Of course a beating for the rags isn’t a definite but everyone on here would like it to be so. I am on a city forum amongst ‘friends’ being possibly over confident and enjoying the ride, but so f#cking what, I’m not a jinx for the club, although I didn’t have my lucky socks on for the Wigan game.
Given the position of the 2 teams Tent Peg about to be shown the door and no CB of note I do expect us to win by 2 or 3 and will be surprised if we don’t.

Being positive is OK, But some on here are taking it to the next level and think we are unbeatable and we will smash United tomorrow, If only it was that easy and predictable,

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

you re welcome if you come down in west Crete ....

 

[Blu1]

Get those save ten Bob banners ready for those going to Wembley!

It’s a disgrace they are sacking this record breaker

 

[bigstanhibbert]

Well worth a watch, when we felt we could start to believe

Manchester City 1-0 Manchester United, 2011

Ahead of the 2023 FA Cup final, BBC Sport revisits the last FA Cup Manchester derby at Wembley, where Man City beat rivals Man United 1-0 in the 2011 semi-final.

Agree but hard not to get a little bit giddy, challenge for all of us to differing degrees I guess

 

[Palerider]

This will be tough. City have climbed Everest by winning the League again and it will be easy to treat the FA Cup Final as a 'free hit'. Pep needs to work his magic and ensure the players are 100% motivated. As do the fans, work for us all to do tomorrow. Come on City, we can do this.

 

[Blue Maverick]

It’s a derby anything can happen, Christ after 12 seconds last year we were winning! i don’t think it will be as easy as some think, however if we do start to get ahead we need to fucking crush them.

 

[Winchester]

Battling that myself but thought fuck it. Got plenty of drugs to ignore it til Monday.

I'm Diabetic so I'm afraid my options are limited

 

[Mr. Shush]

As far as lineup - only possible changes I see would be Stones for Akanji. Or Grealish to start and super-sub Doku to finish them off.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

The Rags will not take us on it would be suicidal , they will take a leaf out of Real's book and just play to contain and hope for a breakaway goal, that is their only chance of winning on Saturday , but the plan will go out of the window if we can score an early goal because Ten Bob will not have a plan B , he is f*cking gormless.
Would like Grealish to start this game, keeping possession and giving them the runaround will tire the c*nts out , its forecast a hot day and the open spaces of Wembley can be draining , if we do not score early they will eventually tire and will make mistakes , not expecting a goal fest , just want to beat the B*st*rds and bring the cup home.

Listening to Ruben being interviewed I think they are all well up for it

The only chance this shower have is sit back kick shit out of us.
And get dodgy decisions
Play our game we batter them.
The wank players they have have already given up.
Now it's official ming the clueless is going they could be on the end of a real thrashing
