Premier League PFA Team of the Year ⚽️ 🇪🇸 De Gea 🇬🇧 Walker 🇧🇷 Luiz 🇬🇧 Cahill 🇬🇧 Rose 🇬🇧 Alli 🇧🇪 Hazard 🇫🇷 Kante 🇸🇳 Mane 🇬🇧 Kane 🇧🇪 Lukaku

Swap Cahill with Azpi and I'm good. Him being English probably got him there. Not sure if DDG deserves to be there instead of Courtois too, haven't seen him as much so I'll give the benefit of doubt.

How Gary makes this list instead of Alderweireld is baffling.

Could say the same for De Gea, even United fans think he's had his worst season for them so far.

Azpilicueta being overlooked year after year is so ridiculous. He is easily the best one on one defender in the league.

Terrible news about Ugo Ehiogu, 44 is no age.

Shocking. Always dependable.
Very deserving of a minutes silence /applause tomorrow at Wembley

"Zlatan Ibrahimovic has torn his posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)" (Di Marzio)

His season is over and, probably, his career at United too. At 36 years, it's hard to believe that he will ever really be back after this injury. I feel bad for the guy, even if I was sick of his antics.

Cracking result because this Arsenal team are so average.

Another final for them..another year for Wenger? Rather them then City but rather lose to City then them...Hopefully however won't come to that!

One more FA cup on its way to the Bridge.

Glad that Clattenburg is gone, but out of all refs I hope it isn't Mike Dean for the final.

Arsenal it is then, London derby, for sure a cracker, our first final against them since 2007 in the Carling Cup, this time we dont have Drogba, but we have Hazard, now lets´s hope the boys are fired up for this one and avoid any surprises, its going to be difficult but we can do it, we need to be fully focused for this one, im tired of hearing Arsenal fans saying its their cup, we can´t give them the satisfaction. Cheers

and also dont forget all the struggles Arsenal are going through at the moment, so they will probably give their all in this game and specially because its against us, many factors to consider, so we need to be very careful and avoid stupid mistakes, just play our game fully focused and we should be able to beat them, i expect us to. Cheers mate
