    Wolves would definitely have given City a better game.

    Imagine Long trying that stuttering finish of Jesus'. He'd have tripped himself up, knee-d the goalkeeper, and kicked the ball out for a throw in.

    English football is becoming a joke like english society, to quote the great Joe Strummer...

    The best tactic Watford should have used to avoid a stuffing in this game was lose the the semi final.

    Well quite. But I then I did specifically say Long trying to replicate Jesus' finish, rather than how he would choose to finish.

    I am so bored of Man City. Now just giving players a run out, in the final.
    What a **** treble. Might even start wishing L'pool well next season rather than these arrogant nob-heads. Come on Pep, time for a new country. Too easy here.

    I'm not. Man City did get knocked out by Wigan only last season.

    Couldn’t disagree more. They are playing the sort of football that will be remembered for years for its brilliance and beauty. Of course I agree about the inequalities in football but you can’t criticise the product they deliver.

    Not sure why anyone would be remotely surprised by this, FA Cup Final or not they are so far ahead of teams like Watford a battering was very likely

    Also, City were nearly knocked out by Swansea this season. They are a fantastic side, but they're not invincible.
