The FA Cup Final City Vs Wigan Pre Match Discussion Thread

[shockin-hocking]

Given the weather we're having, will the roof be open of closed tomorrow?

Don't think the Wembley roof shuts fully mate, but think it partially closes so the fans don't get wet

Wembley has no roof

Wembley has no roof

It does, just as has been stated, it isn't a roof which can be completely closed like, say, The Millenium Stadum.

The stadium roof has an area of 40,000 m2, of which 13,722 m2 is movable

We will murder them.

I believe Tevez or Aguero will bag a hat-trick, not sure the last man to do that in an FA Cup Final?

I'm leaning slightly towards Tevez, because he looks like he has been coming to the boil very nicely.

Very confident of us putting on a clinic and would not be surprised to see us get four or five.

Put it this way, the scoreline could get very messy if we score a couple of goals inside the first half hour.

Not a chance Wigan will run themselves into the ground on that pitch.

City 5 Wigan 0

Jesus tolmie, I've seen some confident predictions on here but yours wins out by far.

Only supreme confidence in a set of players who have more gears than any other team in this country when the big occasion calls for it.

Can't wait to see Silva on that Wembley pitch.

Let's hope the boys step up to the plate.

I'm still nervous.

If my roof had a hole in it over the middle of the house it would not constitute a roof. Covered seating similarly does not constitute a roof over the pitch.

---------------Pantilimon---------------
Zabaleta--Kompany---Nastasic--Clichy
-----------Y.Toure-----Barry-----------
Silva------------Tevez------------Nasri
-----------------Aguero----------------

Strongest team will play in my opinion (except Pantilimon, who is still a good 'keeper).

Come on City, get another trophy in the bag. This is what it's all about.

I agree with this team, lets get the ball moving fast and crisp on the large Wembley playing area. Come on City.

That's the team for me but Hart may get the spot after Panti outburst

Yes, a poster on mancity.fans.net, also said, (following Pantilimon's comments), he had it "on good authority" Hart will be starting FA cup final:

Was it Costel who had the outburst or his national manager?

I agree if we're all on our game we have no-one to fear, in this league at least. Given how we've not really once properly gone for the jugular this season though I have my doubts of a romp. Wouldn't be surprised to see us go one up, maybe 2, then figure the jobs done and sit off whilst we get battered.

A replica repeat of the Stoke final would do me nicely, there was only ever one team winning that game despite only one goal separating us in the end.

Speculation it was Costel's comments about leaving the club, rather than an outburst.
Obviously we wont know until tomorrow, but I'm sure Hart would relish playing.

Hart should play but the squad are not told the starting 11 until two hours before kick off.
