FA Cup Final v Watford - Pre Match Thread

[Gabriel]

Guardiola can sometimes miss particular vocabulary and structures in their questions, but he's certainly able to identify the snide tone and nuance of their questions.

I hope he unleashes the team and that we absolutely destroy Watford (no offence to them) just to ram it up the crayon chewing hacks. 7-0 needed to beat Bury's record.

Is anyone nervous and bricking it about tomorrow like we were for the Brighton game.

No, why?
I see it as a cherry on the cake.
Retaining the PL title alone is immense. You need to have an extraordinary group of personalities to achieve that after a centurian season
and an outstanding leader to handle such a bunch of warriors.

What if KDB and Mendy will have a fully fit season??

It's extremely difficult for any competitor to beat our mentality and Watford will need the match of their lives to achieve that.

Can't wait. Already fist pumping as a warm up ;-)

Was a fantastic press conference by pep. My personal favourite part was when one of the bottom feeders asked about the lack of love we get from the media, pep I assume misunderstood but went on a tangent about how the fans love and appreciate what we do...paused then smiled before saying a lot. I’m so glad he knows how much we as fans love and appreciate what he and the team has done last few years

I also enjoyed the sarcastic tone to the question about greizman, sorry guys we can’t afford him. Subtle dig there.

Love the guy and to think we have him for 2 more years at least is just wonderful.

I was also a lot more nervous before Brighton, no means complacent about tomorrow but last week just felt there was so much riding on it. Hoping for a professional performance tomorrow and an early goal to settle the nerves that will inevitably appear at kick off.

We had the weight of stopping the Klanfield ****s on behalf of the rest of the world last week. This week is just about us.

Thought Pep absolutely nailed that press conference today.

Club doing a good job of fighting back against all the bullshit.

 

[aguerooooo]

It doesnt normally get to me .the sky biased cartel and media crap ,but just observed Peps pre final interview The way Klopp is treated is remarkably the polar opposite in tone,mood and overall joviality ive no doubt this is very much based on the need to be as far up the Germans backside as physically possible A tactic well practised by the constant need to do the same with Sir phalex

I'd ban all the journos from the ground.
Every single fucker.
