FA Cup final thread

[R.Youden]

Well tomorrow is the first FA Cup final at the new Wembley.

But the big question is, who will win?

I think it could be Man Utd. They have a stronger team at the moment without in injuries that have hit Chelsea (although it probably isn't as bad a Jose wants us to think!).

Should be a good game and hopefully both teams will give 100%.

I don't think you need worry that both teams will give anything but 100% ... as it's the first FA cup final in the "New Wembley" I'm sure it will be a "belter" as they say here in the Emerald Isle. 🙂

In pure supporter terms, I don't want either to win, but if I had to choose one, it would be Man Utd.

In pure football terms, again it would be Man Utd.

**c* Chelsea and their special manager and dodgy Russian money. They should be called Fulham Broadway FC.

I agree that both teams will give 100% but I'm not sure it'll be a belter! My worry is that neither team will really want to lose as it's the first cup final at the new Wembley and the game will therefore be a bit dull!

Hopefully I'll be totally wrong though and it will be as good as last years! 🙂

No way Jose!

Glory, glory Man United!

I just cannot get myself to hope for Man Utd... no matter who they're playing against... ever...

I don't really care who wins, but I'm cheering for the blue ones (which comes a bit more naturally to me, anyway)... 😉

Man United will win I think, and at the end of the day I think I hope they do too.. hard as it is to call that one.. Chelsea losing on penalties (again) would be my preference.. ideally with Cashley **** missing the decisive one.

 

[B&Wtoon]

ManUre have been the most entertaining and convincing team this season, so would be my choice.

Chelski have spent a ridiculous amount of money, play boring, have an arrogant SOB manager... and will probably win 1-0 in injury time.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

As a neutral, I'll be watching the match but I'm not overly fussed who wins it – my interest in that respect ended in the Third Round. 😉

But what I'm hoping is that it'll be an entertaining, exciting match – something in the vein of the Liverpool-West Ham final we enjoyed last year, rather than a damp squib as some recent finals have been. Unfortunately, given all the reasons for wanting it being a classic – the current two top teams in the country, the first final at the new stadium – makes me think we might end up disappointed. Will it live up to expectations?

I think it could be Man Utd.

It certainly could be. If not them then Chelsea.😉

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Nice that the blue team won...! 😉

Excellent goal by Drogba!

Yeah, was an excellent goal. Very worthy of winning a cup final!

I think Chelsea were just about the better side and deserved the win.

Chelski [...snip...] will probably win 1-0 in injury time.

Good guess 🙂

 

[Blue Velvet]

I shall be popping around the corner and down to the Kings Road to watch the parade. It might be tomorrow. 🙂

I hate Chelsea.. but I hate Man United too..

Why did I even bother to watch..

 

[72930]

I don't like Chelsea (now, because of all the irritating 'supporters' that just happened to pop up after Abramovich came), but my brother supports Man United, and was even there, so I was semi-supporting the blues 😀

Good prediction!

 

[dalvin200]

worst fa cup final in a long time.. 😱

so much potential.. 🙄


should of gone to penalties at least 😀

 

[combatcolin]

Ha ha

Ha ha

Man Utd lost!

😀

Now watch my numbers come up on the lottery.

The trouble with potential is that it generally means two big sides in the final and that means no-one wanting to lose!

 

[dalvin200]

... that means no-one wanting to lose!

except for the crowd and the millions watching on tv 😉

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I mentioned earlier in the thread that I hoped the match would be an exciting affair –unfortunately though I found it rather disappointing. Certainly it was nowhere near as good as last year's final and I think I've been spoilt by watching the play-off semi-finals over the past week which have been absolutely cracking games, even for the neutral.

It's a busy weekend for the new Wembley – tomorrow it plays host to the Conference play-off final. I wonder if the non-Leaguers can serve up a better match than the Premiership's top teams? 😉

If someone told me that a championship game would end 1-0 on a goal scored deep into extra time was boring, I wouldn't have believed it, but it happened. Both sides looked lackluster. After Drogba scored, I remember thinking, why didn't he just do that earlier. 🙄
