United (N) - Sat 25th May | 2024 FA Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

Only to be expected under the circumstances....however....a derby match, at Wembley.....form, skill, effort etc etc all goes out of the window. It could go anyway. I'm confidant but not over confidant. I was confidant against Wigan !!!

Exactly and they'll be desperate to try and get one over us after the last few years. That doesn't mean they'll be able to, but they won't be lacking in motivation.

If we play anywhere near our best we'll be fine, but we still need to perform on the day.

Are they bringing the bucket hats back out ?

Don’t think Scruffy Jim will be too keen to fork out for them.

In the F.A. Cup, I was confident all three times. And all three times we bloody well lost. Last time we beat Wigan in the Cup was 2006. Weird, isn't it? That's football.

I’m sure it will change but I’m strangely really confident for Saturday! I can see the lads going out and smashing these now that the title is won? Gonna be warm and the rads will be passed to death and Erling will bag at least 2 imo

Look lads, when you get to 4-0, you must back off or the Daily Fail will accuse you are being disrespectful.

You sure? Shocking penalty stopper …..

Meant for him to take one, bring him on last few seconds as an outfield player, leave Ortega in goal

The worrying thing is the number of wins they've had this season that were literally by accident.

Games where even their players look like they were completely disinterested and couldn’t be arsed and got comprehensively outplayed... yet they somehow contrive to get a fluky undeserved win.

The Wigan final was horrendous for several reasons but just imagine if we hadn’t beat them in the 99 play offs!
We wouldn’t be going to Wembley on Saturday and tbh I haven’t a clue what division those wankers are in. Now that makes me feel a little better about that final.

Do we know how many days off Pep gave them? Is it 2 or 3?
They will return to practice tomorrow or Thurdsay?
Because I heard Pep saying we will have 2 days of training(so Thurdsay) and it seems a bit too little as players Sunday night seemed on severe hangover.

The media had already pressed CTRL+C for "115 FFP charges" and are ready to unleash CTRL+V multiple times, if we win it.
