FA Cup Final - 18/05 1700hrs

[deano ou812]

Wonder if in the big build up glorifying Deeney, anyone will interview the student he kicked in the head and did time for.

When did this happen don’t recall this ?

Only City's second FA Cup final in 35 years, just like Watford... ;-)

Pardon, you a city fan.?

As said above, I had a senior moment!

 

[Essembe]

Apparently when Elton John was Chairman at Watford, he fell over and his hip came out of its Socket Maaaan

Cheers,what a fucking horrible thing to do to someone lying on the ground after they had obviously taken a few blows before hand ..

Deeney looks an annoying cock anyway and his latest comments just add to that.. We've got Watford's number although it might be a lot different on a neutral pitch.

Really, a neutral pitch will help a non footballing football team? I beg to differ. Best draw we could have hoped for...........and yes I was at Wigan. Our manager is a different kettle of fish, winning is for winners and losing is for other teams, not us.

 

[Eccles Blue]

I’m not sure we can now call Wembley a neutral pitch any more. We’ve played on it so often recently!! :-) ;-)

 

[Vienna_70]

Phew!
I was secretly dreading Wolves in the final.
Fair play to Watford, showed real steel today.

Yeah, so was I, as the last time they beat the rags in the FA Cup (1960), they went on to win the thing.

 

[Ian]

At least we won't be fighting over hotels now.

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

 

[Vienna_70]

We have beaten Watford each time we've played them in the last 10 meetings

Didn’t we have a similar record against Wigan before the '13 final?

 

[Vienna_70]

In view of our opponents, will anyone still be parking at Watford tube station?

Mrs Vienna doesn’t think it’s a good idea.

 

[sam 1980]

Didn’t we have a similar record against Wigan before the '13 final?

Don’t think so

 

[chaddblue]

Didn’t we have a similar record against Wigan before the '13 final?

Don't think so. Remember them knocking us out of the league cup

Anyway, I agree, it doesn't mean a lot

 

[Vienna_70]

Do they have a chairman that broke his leg once? I think I heard wigan did once somewhere

Are you sure?

I’ve never heard anything like that!

;-)

In view of our opponents, will anyone still be parking at Watford tube station?

Mrs Vienna doesn’t think it’s a good idea.

The tubes / trains from Watford will be hammered. They're busy normally when we're playing another team

Also, as we're likely to get the east end of the stadium, you will arrive at the wrong side of the ground

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

we should be OK, as long as there are no rumours of a managerial change and BFS sat in the stands ;-)

 

[Mike N]

As said above, I had a senior moment!

Don't we all!

That'll be airbrushed from history don't worry.

It'll be Troy Deeney the underdogs hero

Last season's FA Cup Final kicked off at 5.15pm on a Saturday.

A London club and a "Manchester" club. A 3pm KO would be ideal but suspect it might be later.
