FA Cup Final v Watford - Pre Match Thread

[domalino]

Yeah just seen that. How often do they undermine the referee, especially when it wasn't a clear and obvious error? Fuckin no chance that would have been overturned if it had been one of our defenders

Are we really complaining about this? It was a shitty yellow card and we got our own slice of luck with Walker in the semi-final when the referee could have easily sent him off if he felt so inclined.

Just worried about our players legs because he’s a right dirty bastard .

Quite happy for the FA to let him play. No excuses for when we beat them.

I like complaining ... my missus will vouch for that

It wasn't even a foul. He brushed his shoulder. Embarrassing that that was given in the first place, the last thing we want is the Prem to become La Liga stopping the game every 10 seconds.

Cant wait for Saturday.
Weve just won the title again.
Not long since we went to Wembley for the league cup final.
And then the semi....

What a time to be blue.

Gillingham feels like a life time ago.
Embrace it blues.
It might not be this good forever.

I don’t think it was a red to be fair according to posts I’ve seen.

Not seen it myself yet.

Seen and it's very very harsh. He put his hand on Antonio's shoulder and he went down like a sack of spuds.
If I was Watford I would appeal it too. The down side is we have to face the dirty bastard.

Who is the ref on Saturday?

I agree though I don’t think he will drop Raz.

Mahrez deserves to keep his place.

Not a red imho

i Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues.

We've been done a favour turning over his red card , he's a shite defender and will more than likely get sent off at Wembley , Deeney is a cockwomble always looking for a fight , wind them up and they will finish with nine men. They will play like every other mid table team , defend for the lives and try and give us a kicking with their big lads in midfield , it will be a physical game and not sure if KDB will be ready for a battle with his fitness levels so would leave him on the bench for the last half hour when Watford are tiring. As for the rest of them team , i would be reasonably happy with anything Pep selects from our squad , (playing Mahrez against Brighton proved a masterstroke , so pointless trying to out guess his team) , unless he plucks Mangala out of the wilderness.

 

[Andouble]

They don’t have a major honour to their name and will be well up for this. As long as we match their intensity the treble is ours. Deulofeu is a very tricky player.

 

[BosnianBlue]

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

Bit harsh.

Ferguson was banned for semifinal for words said after the league match.

Anyone else jibbing Wembley this Saturday or jibbed Wembley before?
I've never done it before and I'm gonna try this weekend.

Any tips/advice?
Thanks Blues

lol, help me out here please. I need a clarification.
"jibbing" in your context is not a north american term, on the west coast anyway.
I am not sure how to apply traditional meanings to your endeavor.
but it sounds like fun....

Elton John

funny that
but it's said he won't even be there as he has a show to far away elsewhere that day.

It's OK. lol
I googled "jibbing a stadium"
and found a youtube video of rags jibbing a handicapped entrance at Wembley.
just around the corner from a dozen security!

I loved Duffy’s comment after Sunday’s game. He said he just wanted it to end :) Quite a statement on how we make players and teams feel with our play! Play our normal game and seems like the boys are still hungry...

It means trying to get in the ground for free ie without a ticket. Not sure how easy it will be at Wembley. You can apply it to any situation..eg getting on the train without a ticket...
