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

[Tuearts right boot]

Can the beeb get a translator on

 

[Revolver]

We have dominated and played well. If you listen to the commentary it’s like Palace are a plucky championship club.
Instead to a premier one riding their luck

 

[Sky Blue]

3 mins added on was laughable too

 

[hertsblue]

Shocking how much we have spent on sub par players.
Our wingers wouldn't get into any other top 8 team, we only have 1 creative player what is well past his best on and his way out. We have a striker who would be outstanding in any other team but our tactics do not suit him and seems he has now lost his bottle and is bullied by nearly every defender these days. Look at Mateta is bullying Dias.
No DM despite spending 60 million on another slow midfielder in January and every attack by any team with pace has us in sheer panic. Marmoosh scored previous 7 penalties but come to City and we will train goals out of you.
Set pieces a joke yet again by the worst set piece coach in England and who the club seem happy to keep employed.
Major surgery is needed on and off the pitch or we will be further away than ever next season from the top 4.

Palace have let us have the ball......we are doing nothing with it - not sure how that is playing well

Just not true, Henderson prevented us scoring with a red card offence, we've had a penalty, Henderson has then made three brilliant saves. We've had 8 shots already. We should be about 2-0 up but somehow are 0-1 down.

 

[Mycenae]

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.

Even Rooney is calling it bullshit.

 

[mosssideblue]

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.

Stop talking sense

 

[citytill1die84]

Red card all fucking day long it's an absolute shambles

 

[Bluearmy]

Savinho needs to go. A very long way away

 

[Kippax77]

How long did Twatwell make Marmoush wait to take the penalty?
Even Haaland cottoned on to it and started waving his arms and telling the ref to get on with it.

 

[cookster]

Comedy of errors for their goal.
Gvardiol, O'Reilly and Akanji.

 

[bluethrunthru]

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.

Leicester could have stayed up but I am glad for the love of the league the small time wankers are down.

 

[madloaf]

That's the worst decision of the VAR era for me. Absolutely blatant

The worst decision of VAR, is having VAR. Which now gives officials two opportunities to fuck teams in blue over

 

[Phoenix900000]

What the fuck are they on about

Red all day long

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

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

Turn the game off and stick your head on the toilet. Calling the player mentally weak?

Go and ply whatever trade it is you do in a foreign country and do half as well as he’s done - then your shithead comment might have some weight.

 

[fallacy]

It’s a red all day

Still don’t get why he got off with absolutely nothing.

Bent as fuck

 

[TinFoilHat]

We need to sign a reliable penalty taker

We do....

Then they go to shit.

:)

 

[Blue and true]

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.

If only. It saddens me seeing the trajectory he's taken this season.

 

[Dax777]

It should have been a red. But we really need to play better.

We move too slowly in the middle And Savio isn't up to standard when we play this slow.

 

[Aeromania]

Crystal Palace legend Ian Wright said that was a red card too.
