Match Thread | Crystal Palace vs. Man City FA Cup Final (17/05/25)

[SkyBlueFlux]

Haaland is seen as one of the best strikers in the world by some. We have signed him to a 9.5 year contract and he makes more in a week than many will earn in 10 years. Hes paid handsomely to be our striker and take a penalty kick. It’s not his fault Marmoush missed. But it was his choice to not take it. Weak.

You have absolutely... and to stress... absolutely... no idea if he made that choice. Pep is usually pretty clear on who the designated penalty taker is, we've seen that before when Sterling tried to take one he wasn't supposed to.

You don't know who made the decision, so why dig a specific player out?

Ooh let's see what Rooney and Richards think..

 

[Chippy_boy]

I switched to itv and that's no better.

Agreed. I opted for ITV but Lee Dickhead is being unbearable.

 

[Vester]

I'm usually always defending Haaland but if you are being paid the highest salary in the league to score goals, you step up when there is a pen that needs to be scored in a final. Shocking and embarrassing not to step up there. Would say its something you could/should be subbed for but our bench is a joke.

 

[Mayor West]

Marmoush is never going to be at the level expected at City

He's soft, clearly mentally weak, and doesn't actually really offer anything

Not saying Haaland is having a good game either, but just don't get how anyone likes the look of Marmoush, looks soft and spends half the game on the floor

To be fair this whole starting 11 is the worst to ever play for City so...

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Predictable

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

FUCKING FUMING WITH THE WAY THIS GAME IS BEING OFFICIATED.

 

[Gaz76]

Fuck off Richards , palace deserved it, how? Just how??

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

 

[Keeper!]

crap, walking football and a right winger that can't beat a man and is an utter pussy

 

[Shuffs]

That handball........fucking fuming.

Blatant cheating.

 

[woody1968]

Is there any point to Savinho ?

Big overreaction. He stepped up for a penalty whilst our highest payed player shirked it. Weak mentality is an over exaggeration

No chance i’m listening to these arseholes for 15 mins. Rooney shags grannies and ‘Meeks’ shags second hand cars.

 

[jamesha]

Handball already being written out of history.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

This needs one or two changes, the balance is awful. Several offering very little.

 

[Ray bloody Purchase]

Why have the crosses stopped, we were doing ok before their goal, there is definitely something here for us , despite being very predictable, please City don’t just give someone a cup like last year, Chelsea and wigan

 

[super_city_si]

That half sums up our season. Why Big Erl didn’t take the pen I’ll never know?

Hes missed his last 2, possibly 3?

 

[WallyA]

For a possession based side, we are relying alot on aerial crosses to score.

We could... try to play a clever passing ground game? But with with 3 CBs.

 

[ShaunMCFC]

I got told earlier in the season he was a baller.

He's absolute gash.

I thought he’d come good eventually, unfortunately seems to offer absolutely nothing
