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

[robbieh]

We've by and large been playing without wingers recently. Now in the final not only is it wingers but 2 strikers and Kevin.
The constant changes are one of the reasons we are so poor.

 

[Mancity1980]

81% possession hard 2/3 good chances and a pen!

The new typical City!

 

[TinFoilHat]

If Palace win, it’ll go down as the Hend of God final.

very good.

I'm sick off the constant slow ,turgid side to side . It doesn't tire fucking anyone out .

 

[dannyboiblue]

Say its not a red card which it 100% is. How's it not a free kick outside the area wtf

 

[Chippy_boy]

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.

Odious twat on every single level. I can't stand the self-important, opionated ****.

 

[Lemon7277]

I think we have to all look in the mirror and realise we ain't that special anymore and ain't a quick fix


Just shy of 200 million spent in Jan and not a single player on the pitch of that spunked money

 

[01cravend]

He's going away from goal... like you have to be facing directly the goal to score with no keeper there?.. how do you round a keeper without going away for goal for about a second??

 

[Crooked_rain]

Comes to something when Scouser who used to play down the road calls it for what it is!
Wasn't sure initially, then saw that HT replay - beyond a doubt

In fairness, for whatever reason, Rooney isn't that cuntish towards us when he's a pundit. I dare say he gives us a fair shake usually.

Just us.

 

[pbueno16]

He didn’t even give a free kick????

Literally 0 punishment

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Incredible that the BBC are making Haaland not taking the pen the story, and not the most obvious red card ever not being given and the keeper then saving a pen.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Linekar not complaining about the non keeper sending off as it would have ruined the game

Fuck him. If you’re prepared to cheat to that level, the game’s already ruined…

Say its not a red card which it 100% is. How's it not a free kick outside the area wtf

Baffling officiating.

 

[Kippax77]

What the fuck are they on about

Is that Shearer's statement?
He did a very good Gary Neville impersonation on influencing VAR from commentary

 

[daztrueblue91]

The worst VAR decision I’ve ever seen, made worse by an incompetent explanation.

The players have to regroup now though. We surely cannot go back to back games without scoring.

 

[MellowJoe]

Slightly fortunate? Piss off Shearer

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Ref clearly giving us nothing

Other than the Henderson incident I think he's reffed it OK to be honest.
Let it flow and kept the cards out of it

 

[abu13]

I would look at taking off Saviniho, even a sub par Foden is a improvement.

 

[Norbert D]

Savinho has been wank.
