First ever Manchester Derby final

Not like they have anything else on going on as an organisation at the minute either..

Indeed. Believe it or not there is also a Beyoncé gig on that night too at Spurs ground. Another 60,000 plus people. Prob the reason hotel prices are so high.

I picked a really bad time to try and seriously reduce my alcohol intake!

Rather them than Brighton. We only lost at the Swamp because of the ref. As confident as I'll ever be of winning the FAC.

Wigan Athletic say hi!

Same here and the same age as me, fifty odd year old balloons trying to hark back to their glory days. I’m more arsed about them than the Rags to be honest.

The Wigan final was terrible but we’d had a crap season and everyone knew Mancini was going.

Were they singing “You can shove your Pellegrini up your arse?” after a league and cup double in his first season?

Serious question, how on earth will they police this?

I don’t see any alternatives apart from different exits / complete police segregation down Wembley Way, different tubes etc?

Even the trains down from Picc are a risk?

Can’t see how they do it?

They'll manage, semi final wasn't that bad. Will always be a few incidents but its not going to be a eighties style bloodbath or anything.

Not sure where you're getting those attendance figures from.
They'll be just as many Blues there as them.

Probably cos you only get 20 odd thousand for FA cup Final, but cockney rags will just get on tube for a day out, chance to buy a ticket from a tout, and/or a punch up.

Man United have an advantage, they play at home...

Wembley is Etihad South

The only time I enjoy derby day is after the game if we win, Hate all the other shit,
Anyone who can see lone blues or families getting greif off any rags please dont just stand there filming it on your phone, get help or get stuck in.

Leave it to the Met. They did a great job for the Euro 22 final. Nothing to worry about there.

Italy weren’t on same route home though were they
