my mate`s a staunch citeh fan (not really a mate then) anyhow, he reckons its gonna be a city - stoke final. I told him hes deluded but hey ho wot can ya do. for the record i think it will be utd - bolton final,,,,,,, predictions plz. watching the utd v arsenal match t`over day and considering all the players we had absent, i thought we played really well and gareth southgate commented it was our best performance all season. wot team will fergie put out next match ?? a fort the twins played well and rooney and chicharito were more fluid than if berbatov wudda been on, wot do you think?
A lot could depend on the CL and EL. If us and City get past Marseille and Kiev respectively, we'll both be playing our quarter finals a few days beforehand. In that case, I'd expect us to progress as we have the greater experience in dealing with matches after a European tie, and City may only have one day's rest. But if we get through and City don't, that may give them the edge, heighted by their desparation to win a trophy this season. For some reason I think Stoke will win the other SF. Think Bolton will be distracted by their pursuit of sixth. Either way, I expect Utd or City to lift the trophy - 1995 was the last time one of the top teams lost the FA Cup final to a team from outside the top four.
Why do i have a nasty feeling that we'll make the final after beating Liverpool, Arsenal and City only to lose to Stoke...
