2025 FA Cup Final thread

Also , potential goal scoring opportunity and obvious goal scoring opportunity. Let them cry .

Absolutely. As we know only too well, better than Pep clearly, decisions don't always go your way. Let's take it as a compliment that they think they needed to play against 10 to win. In any case they had the most obvious goal scoring opportunity soon after and it got saved.

I would have beyond angry if that decision had gone against Palace and the opposing keeper had ‘got away with that.’

Presumably those defending the decision would have been equally content for the opposing keeper to have not faced sanction if the boot was on the other foot.
A shrug of the shoulders and the officials got it right?

Yes. Put it up against Eze's free kick, Mateta's shoulder and many others. We caught a break but I'll take it all day long.

Exactly, there’s not many outside of man.city that are begrudging us. Makes a change for one of the big clubs to get the s*** end of the stick. We’ve been robbed enough over the years, I’ll add to your list not getting a blatant penalty at selhurst against the scousers when Van Dick pulled Guehi’s shirt
Also against city themselves at Selhurst last season or season before possibly, good performance at 0-0 then Gundogan jumps in the air like Zebedee when challenged and cocky bollocks Haaland scores the pen…….so fcuk ‘em

Well thank you since WE f***ing DID IT!!!


I should warn you it is not as easy as it looks. Any season we have been in Europa our league form has suffered. It is extremley difficult having to accomodate the Thrusday nights with Sunday PL fixtures where the atmsophere (Least at Spurs) can be very flat and always having 3 days rest whereas CL sides get a couple more.

There's even been one occasion (years ago!) where we played a quarter final in the EL against Sevilla on the Thrusday night then played away at Stamford Bridge on a Saturday early kick off!

It is very demanding.

But if us and United (as diabolically shocking as we have been) can make it this far there's no reason you guys can't too.

Best of luck to you guys in Europa next season. Enjoy the travel, enjoy the ride and I hope you guys smash it!

I would say that selling your best player and failing to replace him (no chance), plus not a great window had a bigger impact. I think that the utter patheticness of the 3 who came up helped bring about your inept play this season

Pep wasn't whining about the fouls his team made though. Imagine another 5 attacks being added, you could be looking at another couple of goals. There was one on Munoz that was so cynical it was disgusting.

I've no respect for Pep, would love to see him manage a championship side short on cash. Utter bollocks.

I certainly lost a lot of respect for him at Wembley after his finger waving, as though Deano could be held responsible for either the on field decision or VAR.
