Brighton v United - FA Cup SF - Sun 23rd April, 16:30

[Stoned Rose]

Well, now that is official, I can make my prediction for the final:

We will absolutely smash them.

Great footage of someone disagreeing with Domalino.

thing is on another day Brighton could give us a far harder final than the rags, Pep knows how the rags tick, could you imagine winning the title then the FA cup and around a week later we have a CL final ''fingers crossed'', the rag fans will self destruct

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

I heard some weirdo pundit on talkshite describe wan bissaka as the best one on twitter me defender in the world today. We shall smash em

 

[marco]

Not a chance we'll play a full strength side, that's my only concern

this ^^ but i think our next best is good enough to beat them, pep knows by now what this will mean to the fans so i'd only expect Ederson to be left out then our next best available 10

 

[Pam]

We'll need to be on it. We'll be playing their 11 + VAR +the Refs + Sky Sports + God.

Not Monty Python God. He's on our side and he's better than the sky God with the daft harp.

We will defo play a full strength side and either way, we have to get past Madrid before it even becomes an issue.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

True,but I've seen enough of their antics to realise anything can happen.

Indeed but this feels like a different animal, even with dark arts; they may well get caught up in the psychology of the game before they know what hits them, as they won’t put a glove on us on current form!

 

[mosssideblue]

Because Pep is loyal to the side he plays in this cup, and fair enough that he is, and we have the Champions League final a week later, (hoping that we do have by the way)

Any specifics as I don't recall Pep picking weak teams in the cup this year

 

[g180aj]

Even physically they can’t compete for me; that game could be the catalyst, should we get to the final, for the biggest confidence enhancement we could wish for, works both ways though I guess!

Say for argument sake we’re 3 up at half time, I could see them doing something out of spite

 

[Bald fraud]

This will be a big mental blow for their remaining league games. Sigh. They still have to play Arsenal too. They’ll have till the 14 of May to get over this.

I think the opposite. They’ll want to make amends and won’t have one eye on a cup final

And Atwell sending one of ours off for unsporting compound fracture presentation.

Time will tell.

 

[Bald fraud]

Damn. This is not good. Win or lose the final they will do anything and everything to stop us getting the treble. If we win they will make sure our key players are not 100% for a European Cup Final.

They’ll kick the fuck out of us. No doubt Oliver will be in charge and let them

Don't talk rubbish….Gods a blue ffs

 

[ChicagoBlue]

I see ETH is already in the media vowing b not to allow a City Treble! The cheek! As if we see United as a bigger opponent than Real, Arsenal or either of the Milan teams, ffs?!

Yes, they have the ability to potentially stop us winning the FA Cup, but it’s the least of the 3 I care about, and I don’t doubt others feel the exact same way.

That said, I’d love nothing more than to spank the shit out of them on a big day out at Wembley, and on today’s showing I see no reason why we couldn’t!

 

[nellyonthewing]

Don't talk rubbish….Gods a blue ffs

Not from 1977 -2010 he friggin wasn't

 

[Tevez City]

Wanted Brighton, but the title will taste better if we manage to win the game against United.

 

[FightLikeAGirl]

Don't talk rubbish….Gods a blue ffs

And the Devil is a rag. The bastards clearly made a Faustian pact in the ‘90s.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

I've said all that but derby games are different and the rags will foul, spoil and cheat to bring the game down to their level like they did today.

Might actually be a good primer for if we get to a CL final against an Italian team.

Pep should call it out the day before just to publicly spotlight both the possibility of faking, and of reckless tackles.

'In such a historic match, emotions can run high, so I simply hope that it's a fair game, and we don't see it marred by foul play or injury.' Would be all it takes.
A nice passive aggressive dig to get them thinking and the refs focused...
