FA Cup Final Build Up

[salford city]

Anyone know if we've actually sold our full 30500 allocation for this?

Club say sold out but seen claims that we only took 26000.

I believe we sold our initial allocation and were given extra which were released last week? Don't let the red spin spoil the truth

Who was it?

Cold play

Bernie doesn't look impressed

That's the look I'd have at a Coldplay concert - about 5 songs in when you realise every song sounds like a rehash of the one you've just suffered through!

[johnny crossan]

This world class bench is watching established internationals Foden, Alvarez, Mahrez, Walker, Akanji, Laporte, Phillips etc on the pitch - what a squad! (the others were Ortega, Gomez, Lewis & Palmer btw)

Coldplay FFS . Wait until the Boss arrives. He's here next week, now that is Rock and Roll.

Ortega shouldn’t play this IMO unless he’s told, in no uncertain circumstances, that he’s not to play out from the back the way he has been doing lately as he’s been a nano second from being dispossessed in the area and I fear the Munchens will take advantage of it .

Ederson for me but I know that won’t be the case .

[sheblue]

Ortega can play 3 games at the end of July.

He can't be dropped now. It would leave a very sour taste.
We did that before, dropping pants for Hart v Wigan.

Lastly, he's on the brink of being the first goalkeeper in fa cup history to win the competition without conceding a single goal.

Leave well enough alone I say

View as well ,

Yes it was bad form. But you don't know what's been said here. Seems odd that Ortega has just started 2 League games and I know it wasn't easy for him against Brentford but he looked a little bit shaky to me.

Maybe Big Ed is lined up for final?

It's bad if you tell someone they are playing all the cup games then drop them on the morning of the final, but if arranged in advance.......................

My instinct tells me he will play Ortega, but you never know with Pep - as we all know very well

[nottsblue]

Ortega is the cup goalie and as such is likely to play. And he is a pretty decent back up as it goes. Hasn't conceded a goal yet in the FA cup and if he has our first choice team in front of him that run is likely to continue.

Whether that is the right decision is between the coaching staff, the manager and both Ortega and Ederson themselves

Agree with this. We can’t tell Ortega he’s our Cup keeper and start him every game leading to the final only to then say he’s out.

If it was Zack Steffan then there would be a case for it, but Ortega has been pretty solid and, like Akanji deserves the CL final, he deserves to play in the cup final.

This is bang on. Let’s remember all the rag fuckers are intent on being spoilers. Let’s ensue the boys in blue get the feeling it’s a home game for us. VERY LOUD AND PROUD. It’s reality time you red bastards…….

Agreed, i don't understand the hate directed at them, as you say they have to be the most succesful british band of the last 20 odd years.

Their music obviously sells, they are collectively worth almost $500 million, i doubt they care that people don't rate them

[Nick]

No idea how it sells so much has such a split demographic. Depressing chris Martin and every song sounds the same. Most overrated band ever imo. And they brought out raggy Aitch at our place.


What time are people setting off tomorrow? Was up all night last night worrying about the early start

Need to get my flag from felix tonight late too and every cunt concert is on in manc tonight

[gmercer1]

Hahaha just clicked on BBC’s “FA Cup final build up page”
Starts off with a Rag fan from Singapore stood on the Wembley steps in his Rag tracksuit.
Then it’s Jaap Stan’ turn.
Then a piece from the cheating diving Rat
Lastly 2 Rag fans who have arrived from Belfast going on about it’s not about them stopping us winning the treble it’s about winning a cup.

Not one thing about city hahaha brilliant.

[Dubciteh]

Didnt we bin Muric for the league cup final after he played every other round a few years back?

That said, Ortega to start for me.
