FA cup final 2011 Stoke City V Man City

Biggus

Okay I'll understand if no one gives a shit, but I'm a traditionalist and the FA cup still holds magic for me.
Maybe it goes back to the time when I was a kid and there wasn't much live football on the tv but the FA cup final was.
I have a theory....To find out a persons age, ask them the first FA cup final they remember and add 8 years!

Will it be everyone's favourite hated thugs or everyone's favourite hated financial dopes.....
And one of them has to be bitterly disappointed!
Whichever way the game goes I'm sure it will be great drama and fun.

Captain

Looking at Man City to provide a big win. Two or three nil should do it.

Hope City win it. Another United double (or worse treble) would be horrible.

Captain

they already disposed of united mate.

Burnwinter

Ay, shit. Have had no sleep this week. I'll leave my mistake up there for posterity though.

Stoke isn't it?

Captain

yep, the neanderthals are in town.

Burnwinter

It's in the thread title and all 😃

And I was reading articles about it earlier. I think I've just given away how large and loathsome United loom in my mind.

Captain

😆

Obviously Manciteh to win. Stoke can fuck off

Pepe LeFrits

😆 burn.

City win please. It's probably cutting off my nose to spite my face but still.

You guys realize that Stoke have had some really big performances in recent months against Arsenal, Chelsea and Bolton. I'm really looking forward to this game. It's one of the few big games I can watch with no fear of being pissed off by the result.

I fancy Stoke to win. Similar to our Carling Cup final, I don't think Man City will turn up.

Biggus

I fancy plucky little Man city to eventually overcome the mighty Stoke 1-0, anyway I hope they kick lumps out of each other. 8)

Wouldn't mind if de Jong kicked Shawcross really hard, just a few times.

......Some blatantly offside goals allowed whilst others that bounce a metre over the line disallowed......

Huth trying to wind Balotelli right up with an elbow to the neck that went unnoticed by the officials.

Pat Dolan's commentary on Setanta is hilarious, he seems to be working on a selection of comedy voices for the occasion.
Sky should hire him.

Didn't realise Pulis was Welsh.

Citeh deserve this. Toure is amazingly good if you take the tinted specs off.

Claudius

Toure has been one of my top 10 performers in the league this year. He is a powerhouse. I hope Ramsey can grow into that soon.

I was looking at the Citeh squad today. They are seriously only one playmaker away from being a true contender in England and Europe. Bring in Sneijder. Maybe resurrect Kaka's career. I hope they go on to succeed if we don't

Ricky1985

City deserved it, but no one stood out as quality really. Balotelli and Tevez were pretty good, not great, but David Silva is just about the most pointless/frustrating player I've come across.

Rex

What?! You want Citeh to succeed?!
