I know its not important but I really hope we're not in that shit raindrop kit for the final

It’s not important however the team do ok wearing it.

Is it controversial to say don't bother playing haaland because he never shows up at Wembley?

 

[denTTony]

Most including NOR in their teams and hope they are right and he is fit

I just googled his record after seeing this post, doesn't read well does it. Still not sure why he let marmoush take that penalty against palace. Imagine Ronaldo giving up the opportunity to score in a final.

The longer he goes without scoring the closer he gets to doing so. He'll break his duck sooner or later and he's well overdue.

It said on the radio before the Palace game that he was just being rested. No injury

For me if haaland's fit, he plays.

He was fantastic against Arsenal in the final.

Hopefully it was just cramp, but he really struggled last 20 minutes against Brentford, and went down "injured" at the final whistle.

Controversial viewpoint that mate

If Rodri is even half fit, you've got to take the chance. If not, play Foden next to Bernardo with Semenyo out wide.

Trafford
Nunes Khusanov Guehi O'Reilly
Rodri Bernardo
Cherki Foden Doku
Haaland

That's the team I want

Probably harsh on Semenyo but I want to see Phil build momentum, and Semenyo has been a bit hit and miss recently anyway.

Momentum? There's three games left. Semenyo starts. I want to see him boss Cuccurella.

I saw the Chelsea game v Liverpool and Chelsea after a nervous start played some very good football and controlled most of the game at Anfield. They look a much better side under their caretaker manager. Passing and movement was slicker.

We can’t judge Chelsea on the majority of their form from the PL this season.

If rodders isn’t fit just play Nico G I don’t want no make shift midfield against caicedo and Fernandez please pep we can’t lose 3 fa cup finals in a row.

What the fuck has that rag prick got to do with anything??

Can see his point. He could have said Shearer or Kane but you expect your main man to step up in a final especially when he is the penalty taker. It was very odd but hopefully he puts things right tomorrow.

Has it been confirmed which kit yet?

Yes, it's a ridiculous comment to make about the best striker in the world.

True, but this is a BM forum Dave !

They've been really up and down with McFarlane.

Good against Leeds in the semi-final, absolute dogshit against Forest, then a bit better against Liverpool. In his first stint they were average against City but we let the game slip, then they lost at Fulham.

Just hard to know which one of them's gonna turn up.
