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

[jimharri]

I envy anyone that'll be there tomorrow. It's the first FA Cup final I'll have missed since we were founded 16 years ago.

Yes; including the one we don't talk about


Last year was fantastic. Let's do them again. Though it might be asking a bit much for a similar start!

Then it wouldn't be the Poznan

Not think he might be avinalaff lol

For a start Wigan was a long time ago

Wigan were in League 1 when they won vs the Centurions. And many on here think the 17/18 team is better than the 23/24 team.

Nothing is guaranteed in football. City are heavy favourites for a reason. But any team would have a (small) chance to win vs any other team in a cup final. It's what makes football a great game.

Anyone know if the bars outside Wembley stay open after the game? Usually I’m in the rush home but staying over this time

Thanks for the lecture, I’m old enough to know they’re no guarantees. Lesson learnt, back to being a pessimistic sod, rags to win 2-0, oh woe me, christ

Whatever happens I can console myself that at least it is not the dippers. I don't think I could face the wankfest if this had of been bingo's last game.

The box park definitely does and I'm sure they all were last time.

You mean they can’t do the quad?

Sorry if I'm slow off the mark, but anyone know why they charge £10 to get into Boxpark before the game? I don't remember paying to get into a fan zone before...

(Also is there an alternative 'unofficial' meeting spot for Blues pre game?)

Try Wealdstone FC. 15 minutes or so on the tube from Wembley (Metropolitan line to Ruislip) and about a 10 minute walk to the ground. Lovely people running the operation there. And no admission charge!

Thanks. Didn't see that.

Anything less than 10-0 and I'm going back to supporting Chelsea.

 

[jimharri]

So; Eddy is the only absentee from the squad apparently. And he wasn't going to play anyway. If we turn up for the game, it ought to be a stroll, really. I'm saying 4-1 (we'll obviously concede!). The lanky guy (2), Stockport's finest and Bernie (he loves playing against utd).



Sorry about all the brackets!
