The FA Cup Final City Vs Wigan Pre Match Discussion Thread

[Glenn Ponder]

Hope the ref is MotM!

Who is the ref?

Andre Marriner

Cheers. I'd prefer Stonie though!

With Wigan still fighting for survival (even though this is looking unlikely now given the fixture list), I wonder if they will consider resting key players - after all a FA cup final is pretty insignificant when compared to the huge loss of revenue relegation will bring.

 

[Any1aBlue]

On tonights showing and players rested I reckon

Hart
Zab
Kompany
Nasty
Clichy
Barry
Yaya
Silva
Nasri
Aguero
Tevez.

Unlucky for Jimmy, Micah and Lescott but IMO that is who will play.

Don't agree - I think tevez,nasri and milner were playing last night for two berths. The fact he left tevez on the pitch,whilst substituting the other two told me that they will play and not tevez:

PANTS
ZABALETA
KOMPANY
NASTISIC
CLICHY
BARRY
YAYA
MILNER
SILVER
NASRI
AGUERO

CITY 3 WIGAN 1

Hopefully a hot sunny day, if we get our passing game going I think it will wear Wigan down on the Wembley pitch, should hopefully

Hope the crowd will be better than last night. The quietest I've ever heard the ground.

Milner wasn't subbed last night & Tevez was with about 2 mins to go

---------------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.

Near perfect selection.. However, Pants will play in goal. of that I am certain
