Who would you rather face in the final?

[Bournemouth Blue]

Glad we got Chelsea, they have a fan base that is arrogant and lazy, and owners that have no clue. Leeds would have had a huge following hungry for a first major trophy since the Boer War. Shame we can’t beat both.

 

[BringBackSwales]

City have already been allocated the West end

That’s good news, cheers

 

[ancoats]

I will be shitting it if we're 5-0 up at half time then....

At least we don't have to play United the day before

I’ve not seen this anywhere else than from you? And Ive never known the west/east decision be taken that quickly before?

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Really want to win this, just the thought of being runners up 3 times in a row depresses me.

I was told by someone at the club on Sunday

 

[Matt Diablo]

Glad Leeds lost. Proper wankers. So we beat soft cheski cheats no problemo . . .

Good job you’re not a gooner then :)

Chelsea is fine by me. Leaves the M1 a lot less busy.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

And we lost last two

We won our last final!!!

For what it’s worth, we had West the last time we played Chelsea in a final (Carabao 2019).

I’ve no idea regarding all the logistics behind how it’s decided but makes sense if it’s the same this year.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Leeds would have been horrible to play in a final

Just for anyone looking at Hotels.

Watford has gone up a lot from yesterday (thought might come down this morning as Leeds fans cancel) so I have took the plunge and booked 2 family rooms for me and my lads at Travelodge Milton Keynes for £55 each.

We stayed there on Sat and it was great, trains late on from Watford too.

Lots of salty comments on social media this morning about how boring a City V Chelsea final will be, and that they’ll have nobody to cheer on. Ah well.

I think Cup Finals in general have become optional at best for the neutral. Think my last non-City final was West Ham v scousers in 2006(?), whereas in my youth (some years ago!) I tuned in at lunchtime to watch the build-up whoever was playing.

Would the masses have tuned in if it was Leeds v Soton?

 

[Eaststander1]

Chelsea look to be in a better place after yesterday's result, and Rosenoirs departure, and I'm sure they will present a much stiffer challenge to us than the one we saw in our recent 3-0 win at their place ..... only our best will do !

So you don't watch the cup final if City aren't in it ?

 

[uwe rosler 28]

When do u think they will release ticket details?

 

[skybluethinking]

Correct. And I don't know anyone (in my circle of friends / acquaintances) who watches it when THEIR team isn't in it.

 

[Ivan Lentil]

Would’ve preferred Leeds, they froze in the semi so presumably they’d have found a final an overwhelming occasion.

That said, give it 3 weeks and Chelsea’s flouncing prima donna laden squad will no doubt have found something else to sulk about and they’ll hopefully be a disjointed mess of a team on cup final day
