2025 FA Cup Final thread

[Forest Hillbilly]

Wow. Just plain old bloody wow. I was in tears at the end. Mr granddaughter was in tears. The old bloke in the wheelchair next to me was in tears, everybody was in tears...

I knew it wasn't going to be easy against a pretty good City team, but all of them on the pitch were bloody marvels. The fans, as always, were exceptional.

After so many years, I'm not sure it can get much better than today!

next year is Europe. I'm thinking of me in a Palace top in the red light district of Amshterdaaam, recreating a Bellyman scenario with a couple of obliging females.

Seeing the events of today, anything is possible 😀

More likely to be trudging round the backstreets of Poznan.

Surely that must be a record of least goals conceded ever on the way to winning the FA cup.

Yeah, one (1) goal conceded in 6 games...and that was a deflection off Chilwell!

Also next Sunday's game will be a dress rehearsal for the 2025-26 season opener Community Shield (another chance for Silverware)

Back in the travelodge after a long day at the match , i cant begin to explain the atmosphere there today .84000 fans i reckon 50000 were palace . I honestly couldnt single out one player for MOTM , they were all warriors today. The place was absolutely electric , i had no voice at half time so had to lubricate . Had my dinner in the restaurant andd a load of City fans complaining about Hendeson should have been sent off . The big freak Haarland would not have scored from there and didnt have control of the ball . what a great Penalty save . Made history today , i will die a happy man now .

Just home. Totally emotionally spent. You'd think you'd be out celebrating all night.

I've got nothing left

typing in caps is all I have l've got

EAGLES!!!!

It wasn't an obvious goal scoring opportunity that touch could have gone anywhere, who knows.

I am sure City will think of 115 reasons why it was. Oh well never mind take care City fans. We won our trophy fair and square!!!!

Not quite the ZDS cup, but I'll take it

Will Liverpool give us a guard of honour next week, after ensuring City win nothing this season?

 

[Teddy Eagle]

And how far away did winning the cup seem when we had 3 points from 8 games?

I was vocally supportive of Ollie in a tricky start to the season. After the Spurs win I knew all would be well.

I didn't in my wildest dreams think we would win major honours this season though. So that's a slight bonus

😍

If we'd known what total mince the Spuds were going to be this season it wouldn't have been quite so notable.

 

[PatrickA]

I wonder who we'll meet in the Europa Cup final?

True and yet they are in the Europa League Final, keeping it warm for us

 

[PalazioVecchio]

i will confess to being actually speechless. On HOL, i literally cannot think of what to say. Such is the shock of us winning this. Its not even once in a lifetime......its our finest hour......EVER.

speechless

Even if they win it Happy Ange will probably lose it before getting on the bus.

ZDS Champions, they'll never sing that

Neil Morrissey if it's anything like today. He was everywhere I went.

I can't imagine Ange is staying win or lose. They are a car crash in the league. Name a prem club that wants Ange as their coach.

Spurs will be underdogs so maybe its their year. Newcastle, Palace and Tottenham. Makes a change.

Lump on Palace winning the EL next season, I am not kidding. Ollie has the know how!
