FA Cup Final musings

It's got to be City despite Man U's recent improvement in form but my dream result would be City leading then WW comes off the bench and scores a hattrick to give Man U the cup and increase his saleability enormously. I bet Wout is having the same dream.

Intriguing game, it's the first Cup Final in years I'm actually looking forward to watching. Can't see it not being a good game. Unless the Men in Black and their VAR chums decide to get involved.

VAR is having the opposite effect of the original plan. Time to scrap it methinks. We now have too many conflicting opinions trying to decide on one single decision that used to be made in a split second. And they are getting it wrong on far too many occasions. Scrap it.

For me it could pan out two ways ( not the result ) Utd are spoilers nowadays and only look to hit in the break City are majestic and if they score first could get 4 in a breath.

So if utd manage to spoil and hold em off they could sneak a 1-0 and ruin a good cup final if city score first or early it could be a thriller and finish 4-2 to City ( neither best at defending - city’s best form of defence is attack ).

I've just read that this is the first all Manchester FA cup final which adds an extra dimension to the derby. I think I'll go to my local club and watch this on their big 100" screen and partake of a pint or two of Theakston's best.

I can’t understand BT why they have to have others watching remotely at all ? For what’s it worth imo you can keep it for offside if that’s the ruling then so be it , but let the referee ref the game as he sees it and if it’s controversial and he’ll know as the players will tell him, he has the option to go to the side of the pitch and watch - my only other thought would be watch it at full speed as many times as you like - but don’t slow it down.

As expected, another controversial Var decision. Makes the game more interesting though. Bring on Wout!

For the love of God, how was that a penalty?

Is there a game these days that these clowns don't ruin ? Ludicrous penalty, at least City were able to overcome it. Just scrap it FFS.
