Umm....there's a reason they're 16 points behind us with around 26 goal difference worse than us.
So many bottlers following our club it beggars belief, especially given our record breaking track record since Pep arrived and for the preceding period.
On current form, I’d say they have a good chanceIt's not a league game mate, league positions are irrelevant in cup football.
If we are going on the league games though, we've already failed to beat them once this season, 4 times in our last 8 meetings and drew to one of the worst sides in PL history on Saturday.
So it'd be a bit naive to say Palace don't have a chance.
But can he do it on a cold windy night in Stoke.Yeah he might win multiple premier leagues and league and FA cups and maybe even the European Cup.
Oh hang on..........
Gillett lets the game flow except when Haaland is in front of goal. And Atwell - you missed the game that every Bluemooner knows.The Cup Final officials may have previously been posted, but just checked on them as part of my Cup Final build-up.
Got the Aussie on VAR. When he refs, Jarred seems to let the game flow as much as possible and lets the odd robust tackle and coming together go. But who knows if he applies the same logic and interpretation when he is on VAR duties.
Referee: Stuart Attwell (Birmingham FA)
Assistant Referees: Adam Nunn (Wiltshire FA) and Dan Robathan (Norfolk FA)
Fourth Official: Darren England (Sheffield & Hallamshire FA)
Reserve Assistant Referee: Craig Taylor (Staffordshire FA)
Video Assistant Referee: Jarred Gillett (Liverpool FA)

Attwell career stats...
Also reffed the 2023 Community Shield - City v Arsenal
Has given 3 straight red cards (a career-high, on low numbers) against City in 23 matches.
Let's hope Stu doesn't feel the need to make a name for himself on Saturday.
He has 3 reds v Forest in 9 games. 2 city reds were lockdown dead rubbers and the 3rd was 2011 in a game City won.The Cup Final officials may have previously been posted, but just checked on them as part of my Cup Final build-up.

Not a chance on current form. Palace will score for sure, just hope we can out score them. Could be 3-2 or 4-3.I can feel it being a Watford type result.
Pep & the players need to jet wash last year's final away.
5-1 to us (90mins, not pens).
Hope your right but I can't see it being that easy. We're not that team this season. Although I am getting giddy with another visit to our Etihad in the south.I can feel it being a Watford type result.

0-1,those days with such form,is good enough to give us the trophy...Thats the point....I can feel it being a Watford type result.
