    Does anyone have a preference about the FA Cup winners today, apart from the Utd fans, of course?
    Might be better if they won it and bumped Chelsea down into the conference, perhaps?
    Hard to give a ****, to be honest.

    The FA don't give a toss about the fa cup so tbh, once we are out I tend to not give a toss either

    Very, very good young player. The faith ten Hag has shown in him is commendable. We could learn a thing or two on trusting some of our youth.

    I think players that are so relaxed and in control are rarer than you might expect but not all make it to the very top. I think Mainoo will.

    The way to tell the difference is that Coventry weren't out played in the second half <laugh>

    Walker has been City's best forward! 2 great strikes.
    Haaland, Alvarez and Foden haven't enhanced their reputations one bit!!

    Well that was a very "back in the day" FA cup final.

    Saturday. 3PM KO. Nice weather.
    One of the finalists being the league champions,
    and the other raising their game well above their
    average season per game form.

    I did think it was a little odd that City were out on the piss in the week, getting kicked out of clubs.
    Far too complacent before a cup final, even if Utd have been **** all season.
    Newcastle and Chelsea fans will be furious.

    He looked decent enough first half when Utd were in the front foot. Clearly had a difficult season but there's a top player in there and someone will benefit one day.
    At his best I think he would be perfect for Ange's system but would be far too expensive a risk.

    Yeah I’d take him at Spurs in a heartbeat and think he would be a good fit but his wages are ridiculous.

    There was a rumour that Chelsea would decline to play in the Conference as it would make them subject to the tougher UEFA regulations without bringing in enough income to compensate.
