City Or United ?.

[William51]

Tomorrow is the first ever Manchester derby FA cup final. I am rooting for City and hope they get one over United. City or United ?.

[Barsel]

As I was born in Old Trafford and lived there for the first 21yrs of my life, it has to be United for me.

[Arksided]

As a neutral and a fan I haven't missed a FA cup final (bar2) in the past 35 years+ I can't ever remember being the Underdogs but have always gone for them, today United may just shock you neutrals.

Feeling more confident as KO approaches I am going for a United win.

[Tilly2]

Let's hope it's a good match, whoever wins.

[Arksided]

I remember looking forward to the Liverpool v United game in 96 it was the most boring final in living memory for me ... until King Eric stepped up and got the winner.

[Ken4155]

I remember that game very well. I fell asleep watching it and missed Cantona's goal.

[Arksided]

My Brother *** off half way through the second half.

[Arksided]

Had to be done:

[Ken4155]

I've gone against naming a winner - no need with this bet;

Both teams to score
At least 3 yellows to be shown
Casemiro to be one of those shown a yellow
Haaland and KDB to have at least one shot on target
Rashford and Fernandez to have at least one shot on target

Gives me an interest in most of the game (subs willing) and, if successful, my fiver @ 16/1 will realise £85. Fingers, toes, eyes and legs crossed :-)

[DTCwordfan]

well then, City up 1-0 after a record 13 seconds, a brilliant strike.....

[zebo]

As a lifelong ABU fan, good luck City!

[Arksided]

Freaky lucky goal albeit good strike, pen well yes in my eyes. 1-1

[Tilly2]

All over!

[choux]

For William :)
A certain soft drinks firm have a new slogan this year:
"That's what I like"
Well done Pep, si goalers!

[Arksided]

Keeping calm Tilly, the better team on the day did win.

I'm heart crest fallen :-(

[Tilly2]

There's always next year, Arky. Sorry you're hurting.

[Ken4155]

Penalties should only be given for deliberate handball, imho, and that was definitely not deliberate. VAR awards these soft penalties but does nothing to combat the all-in wrestling that goes on at every set-piece.
And yes, Arky, the best team won. Was Rashford playing, i didn't notice him if he was?

[Arksided]

I truly heartfully thought we'd win it, don't worry I'll be ok in an hour or so... No Arab Money buying United, Liverpool and other clubs success or legacy. I also include Chelsea in that mix.

[Arksided]

I agree in principle with you ken... but that was not a natural jumping position from Grealish... he knew what he was doing from his Villa days. look at where his right elbow is... taken out a player

[anneasquith]

Impressive the city of Manchester has two such great football teams .

[Arksided]

One way to look at it AnnaXx ;-)

At the start of the season after Ralf Rangnick (Klopps Bum Chum Apparently) A cup, cup final and 3rd in league... well I wish no harm on anyone.
