2017/18 FA Cup Final
19th May, Saturday, 2018
Wembley Stadium
17:15 Kick Off (UK time)

[Laylabelle 8,403]

Do we have to?! I dread to think how this will go. Smug face Jose urghhhh 

Depends who turns up! Our record at Wembley been shite recently 

[OneMoSalah 7,576]

Probably be one of the most boring cup finals in history. Can see United going for the standard Mourinho cup final/big game set up of a low block and we'll probably be doing the same or something similar.

[Jase 43,174]

Second time we go into a game against United on the back of a 3-0 loss this season...

[Alabama 1,893]

Oh not again... gonna be a boring cup final game.... Mou and Conte negative football

[Pizy 15,325]

So which of our former players will score a late winner against us here? Mata, Matic, or Lukaku?

Already imagining Mou smugly smiling as he wins the FA Cup and sees Conte get the sack straight afterwards.

[Amblève. 4,995]

This one is has suffering written all over it; but then again, that can be said for most of our games this season.

Prob be all 3. I'm hoping we can be proved wrong but after yesterday don't see how. 

[bigbluewillie 1,384]

Really dreading this final, what with, Conte's record in finals etc, he's never won fuck all anywhere.

And then the team he selects, then the formation, then the players attitude.

I fear we are going to get seriously fucked.

Yet another game i'm going to have to watch from behind the sofa.

Bet my bollocks he goes 3-5-2 Moses Baka,Fabregas,Kante, Alonso

[milka 2,477]

Who is watching this >   2:0  for  the  portuguese .

brilliant final for  this awesome season wtf !

To qualify for the CL all we had to do was beat Huddersfield and Newcastle, two teams who seldom pose a threat.
I wonder what happened after the Liverpool match, everybody seems bored to play football.
We were outplayed by Newcastle, the way Barcelona and Roma could n't do.

Even if we won out we still would have been Europa league bound. Liverpool and Spurs both won out and were already ahead of us, Spurs on points and Liverpool on GD?

In no way am i excusing the trash fire performances we just put out, just saying there is no way we would have CL qualified with how the other results went.

The tie breaker is GD.

ya, i know. and Liverpool had a far superior GD than us. So no matter if we played amazing or closer to the reality of what happened, we still were Europa league bound regardless.

[cfcs most wanted 657]

I think even a bit of passion is too much to ask these days. Hope comes way ahead

Nah course not but been nice to see effort.. Especially for fans who went up all that way! Instead all mehhhh and lose 3-0 and right before a cup final hardly builds confidence. Hopefully crap out the way and this is it... This is the real and last sodding test this season.. In a season which has been so testing of patience! 

N if they're gana play like yesterday might well not bother stepping onto the pitch

100%, i'm not excusing how they played. i turned the game off after the 1st goal as i couldn't take anymore. I am the same as you, win or lose all i want to see is effort and determination. We showed none and it was embarrassing. I was merely pointing out that no matter what, we were EL bound. The other post made it seem like if we won out we would be in(could you imagine the outrage if we played like that and liverpool somehow lost? i don't even want to think about what my reaction would have been)

[KevinAshburner 1,270]

Chelsea threw the Newcastle match to give a ego boost and fake confidence to man utd to think Chelsea won't turn up for this game.
