Manchester City v Manchester United - FA CUP FINAL 25/05/24 3pm KO - Official Match Thread

A booking for a challenge he won ffs

I might go for a walk now and pretend the game is over.

£#%&!ing Pep in the 4th officials ear as they go off. @#%&!.

Well, I'm saying £#%&! all but that was wonderful.

What a half

Pants off

IDGAF - ban drilling

Sooooooo giddy

UTFR

10H deserves another 4 year contract

Will read thread now but that Bruno pass reminded me of Sheringham to Shearer v Dutch in Euro 96

I'm sure Onana will do that around 80 minutes.

who knew licha was this important
(marlo didnt)

Give it until 60 minutes and get hoijlund on to get running after all clearances. The only way I see us getting up the pitch or holding on second half.

Wasn’t even a free kick. Ridiculous.

We have been brilliant right across the team today. Not a bad performance. Fair play to rashford, he’s looked right up for it. Team well set up by the manager, and the tactics spot on so far.

Guardiola doing his nut, starting to intimidate the officials. Expect more yellow cards like mainoo’s in the second half.

Come on!

Big 45 lads!

Get a third before HT!!!

I'm £#%&!ing shitting it noww.

2nd half gonna be a long, long 45 mins

At the very least, we’ll have a heartbreaking loss 👍

The difference when we have Varane and Martinez.

Oh and a balanced midfield

For once, EtH got it right (Rashford aside). And the players actually seem up for it (Rashford aside).

We have a great shape off the ball and can pick them off when we win it back. They're going to get through eventually but with Varane and Martinez; you'd hope we can stop them.

Crazy

apart from one cracking cross-field ball in the lead up to the second, rashford has done £#%&! all.

city are a bit off. enjoy it while you can, because you know we are one mistake from folding.

personally, I am refusing to enjoy it. after that second goal, I doubt the cat will be back in the house for a while, though.

Can’t cope in tears

Superb half!

That @#%&! Pep moaning because we're not rolling over.

What a ball from Rashford by the way…

We were saying Ederson wasn’t much of a miss for them, but that’s horrific from Ortega

Afternoon, Pep.

Can’t overstate the difference Martinez and Varane make. You’d like to think they’ll help avoid a collapse. City can win this on their own merits though.

Just hope we don’t sit back too much. Got to keep that threat on the counter.
