FA Cup Final - Post Game thread

Think it was the 2013/14 season because I pulled out my old season review dvd recently and I think I remember seeing it on that. Was Torres of all people with the damn tap in.

Clichy got completely skinned in that same game (I think by Torres as well) for their other goal.

Anyway, since I saw that recently, it instantly reminded me of that same moment.

Tradition is not a bad thing, whoever seems to think a shite dj playing obscure tracks is somehow entertaining in a huge bowl is missing the point, I remember 1981 and being in the ground once the turnstyles opened, yesterday with 15 minutes to go the ground was 2/3 empty, it was like both sets of fans find Wembley utter shite

For personal reasons, ‘Abide with me’ is a really special part of the pre match for me.
 
I was disappointed that Kev came off, don't get me wrong, he was very poor on the night but he really is one of those players who can pull an absolute moment out of nothing and considering how poor pretty much the whole team was playing.... Just felt like it's one of those games where you keep a talismanic player like that on till the very end.

Rather than there being too much of it, there's too little left, in my opinion, as far as Wembley's concerned. Wembley as an area may be a shit hole (and by the way, I know it well, my father owned a garage there and I used to go down there quite often before moving to Manchester in my early teens) but it is a legendary name to millions all over the world. That's just the fact. It's almost certainly the most famous football stadium on the planet. Say Wembley, say football. From Kingston, Jamaica, to Kuala Lumpur.
The semi-American razzamatazz around events like these (and by the way, that includes some of what goes on at the Etihad) gets on my nerves. But I'm well aware that that's the point of view of a MOC (Miserable Old C—…).

It’s a special, unique moment, but “tradition” is so passé with the younger crowd, who are quick to tell you what’s “cool” and what isn’t.

Apparently, cool and social media-worthy are the only things of importance anymore, which is bollocks, so I guess that makes me a FOC/MOC, too!

Yeah id have thought switch Kev on the right if he wanted to get Alvarez on. As there was absolutely fuck all being created down that. At least he’d have whipped some crosses in and stretched them more

Absolutely correct. It was the occasion for my creating an account and logging on here for my first post, which was a fairly worthless rant.
At that point, I had a bad feeling about the way the season was going to go. Then up stepped the Beeeeast…

so ortega was absofuckinlutely great there for the first goal?

i can’t even fathom how you managed to single out gvardiol of all people for the second goal, that is actually hilarious. but you’ve spent most of the season shitting on him, so why stop now eh?

why would you actually, and i know it’s a strange and unusual idea, blame the players who are to blame for that goal, if you feel the need to blame somebody.

and now i’m gonna stop here so i don’t get banned.

Vanchi, you forgot that those of us that like Gvardiol aren’t “real” City fans…you’re allowed to like Doku again though.

my 17yr old grandson has just had his first major setback as a city supporter, he's absolutely distraught at that result, so ive sat him down and wev'e gone on youtube and watched some real fuckin lows that ive had in my 60 odd years of following the blues and i think he gets it now ;-) it's not all roses

Tell him he's lucky to have got to 17 before his first major setback following the blues

I was crying in the stands at the age of 14 after Dickov had just equalised against Gillingham, think that was the first time I'd ever shown any emotion watching City, as prior to that I'd not seen anything but setback, and didn't know any different

You're a Gvardiol fan boy, in other words a bore. Here's what I actually wrote.

"That Gvardiol header was the worst I've seen since bloody Jamie Pollock's against Q.P.R. Also MIA for the second, as was the rest of the defence. Halland a passenger again and Alvarez with a terrible miss."

So I blamed the rest of the defence, Haaland for being a passenger and Alvarez for a terrible miss. I could have added the rest of the team were below par as well. No one player was responsible for yesterday and I didn't say that. Just like we all see games differently we can all dissect a person's post and pick out a bit that outrages us while ignoring the rest.

As I've wound you up all season apparently for occasionally criticising Gvardiol I'd suggest you mute me and do us both a favour. You're still a bore though.

I'll also add while I may come on here and have the odd rant, dig out a player or the team I never do so at a game I'm 100% behind them. I was there at Maine Road for the Pollock header and I was there yesterday. In other words a long standing loyal supporter who's seen it all the good and the bad. How about you?

hahahha no no no, i literally asked first to avoid misunderstandings due to the language barrier and whatnot:

this is your reply.

it’s not the first time my posts get reduced to ah you’re croatian. won’t be the last. says a lot about those who say it. ;) i replied, you told me to fuck off.

it’s either laziness or people not being able to come up with arguments? i don’t know, english people here don’t agree on everything and yet i get the special treatment. oh and i’m a woman, so that would be “fangirl” for those who want to keep doing it.

you didn’t wind me up i just read your posts ;)

and that last part, it is perfectly obvious i’m not a mancunian with generations of family members wearing sky blue, but you couldn’t resist, of course, once again, classy!

i reminder if it was needed of how they always revert to an arrogant entitled demeanour whenever they arent completely shit. hopefully the win ensures they go full over the top this summer snd start the boom bust cycle all over again

Eh leave them to it, if they continue to hype up players like those 4, they'll continue to finish around 8th.

Hojlund is awful and will never be anything other than that. Mainoo and Garnacho wouldn't even be talked about if they played for anyone else, as both are playing at the right level for their ability.

Mainoo is a bizarre one, I've still not worked out if he's any good or not. I feel like he's alright, but he's getting so many plaudits for yesterday, and yet I thought he was average aside from his finish.
