FA Cup Final v Watford - Pre Match Thread

[burning blue soul]

Holebas, one of their best players, got sent off so is banned.

Come on City, one more game to make history.

The motd chaps were pushing for the card to be over turned by fa, because...well, y'know, just because!

As Pep and Kompany said ... tonight we celebrate but tomorrow we go again!

Five days to go ... win this and we complete the domestic clean sweep!

Some would call it a treble, and some the domestic quad, call it whatever you like ... it’ll be unprecedented and this team deserves it!

KdB back today off the bench was a great sight and is a nailed on starter for Saturday now ... Kompany would want to play too and who’s going to stop him, not even Pep would do that surely ... there’s no debate on second goalie as Pep has played Ederson throughout this competition ...

Watford got a silly red today for one of their key players ... so that’s a plus ...

Let’s do this too ... c’mon Champions!

Thought reds counted in the competition they were given in only these days?

That applies to Yellow card bans but there’s still a competition cross over for red cards.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Ederson
Walker
Zinchenko
Kompany
Laporte
Gundogan
Silva
De Bruyne
Sterling
Silva
Aguero

Sane will start the cup final I think.

Cheers...all good then.

I would hope Sane gets a start, harsh not to start Mahrez too after yesterday.

Think Raheem hasnt looked himself last 3 or 4 games, probably all the games he has played now and fatigue, maybe he is on the bench instead ?

 

[welsh_andy]

Just seen it on motd did look harsh,they are appealing against it so if it gets overturned he’s nailed on to score then. ;-)

pudits are saying highly unlikely to get recinded and tbh i think would set a a bad precedent if was recinded so he could play in the final.

 

[Neville Kneville]

I never realised that red cards in league games counted as a ban for cup finals.

Bit harsh.

Same team bar Sane and De Bruyne in.

Let’s win the FA Cup and make domestic history.
