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

What's funny about their goal is even if we got into the exact same situation as that, there's no way we finish it off

cause we dont cross like that ...our players esp Sav check back and pass into the middle

 

[TinFoilHat]

Hoping this final become known as The Phil Foden final second half.

Not optimistic mind. At least let Palace finish the job so Doctor Who isn't cancelled as it's a pivotal episode.

we'l turn this around 2nd half, not worried yet

 

[Klm2]

Abysmal selection. Savinho out in any midfielder whats the options gonzales or gundogan ....silva to the wing ..and f*** someone tell haland to take responsibility. ...still city will win

Blatent corruption brushed aside with “but for the sake of the game, it’s a good thing”

 

[solley attwell]

Even if it wasnt a red card then surely it was a free kick just outside the box

 

[David Silva]

It's just the narrative BBC are running with.... again.
City can have all the possession, shots and corner but as long as Palace are winning everyone is happy.
It's painful listening

Possession counts for nothing, only goals matter.

Apart from when they’re banging on about how few touches Haaland has had.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Red card all fucking day. The cheating cunts.

Better team but there is just no cutting edge in the final third.

You simply cannot miss a penalty. Fuck is Haaland doing giving it to someone else?

These will score the same goal again this half so we’ll need 3 to win.

Palace deserve their lead do they Wayne top manager?

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

At least they're saying it should've been a red card.

FA Cup final and VAR fucks up spectacularly only days after VAR protocol leaves a lad in intensive care.

Football's become a fucking farce.

 

[MCFC1993]

ITV joining BBC in calling it pathetic.

Disgraceful.

 

[Haaland94]

Get a grip khusanov is better?? wtf is that the same player who got sent off and scored two own goals, granted only a kid but still not good enough yet to lace akanjis boots

Khusanov has never been sent off for us, had 1 own goal that wasn't his fault and otherwise been a MOTM every time he has played, winning our player of the month with a record amount of votes. Miles better than today's version of Akanji.

 

[PragueBlue]

I don't think we played too badly to be honest. Created a number of chances and but for their keeper (who probably should have been sent off) and a poor penalty we should be at least level.

The league game we created a lot by playing through the middle, whereas today we seem to be trying to create from out wide and unfortunately our wide players aren't really doing enough, especially Savinho (though it is tough against a baked defence).

Our CBs are probably seeing a bit too much of the ball though and we really need to get our better ball players more involved.

Anyway, let's try and speed it up a bit 2nd half.

If we can keep creating chances, we should win this.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Absolutely awful on both wings and the big donkey in the middle.

Savinho and Doku shouldn't get anywhere near the first team. So average abd predictable.

Haaland isn't half the player he was at the start of the season.

Sort this shit out Pep.

 

[Gordyola]

Even Rooney thinks it’s a red card for Henderson

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

Fucking wanker Lineker. "He should have been sent off but I'm glad he wasn't for the sake of the game".

Yeah, OK you absolute fucking cockwomble.

 

[TFC]

BBC pundits calling it as it is, blatant red card, Rooney saying they should bin VAR if they can't give that.

What makes it worse, it’s a fucking cup final

 

[dubblue]

Honestly we need to cash in on Haaland and bring in a striker that actually suits his system if we sticking with Pep.

Yeh it’s becoming a problem.

How slow is your feed?

Eric Nixon just chinned Mark Bright on mine...
