Another Cup Final day beckons. Another day out at Etihad South. Everyone who is going, have a wonderful day/weekend and sing your hearts out.

Seem to have more or less a full squad to choose from. Be very interested to know Peps thinking about this one. Chelsea of course have McFarlane in as caretaker manager and I doubt that’s happened to often in history.

On paper and at the bookies we are favourites and should win. But we’ve seen that dance before. Wigan 2013, rags 2024, Palace 2025 were all similar scenarios and we lost the fucking lot. Hopefully the last two are fresh in the minds of a good number of players and staff and we will turn up fully focused.

I fancy us to win . We’ve been playing well and scoring goals just lately and I see no reason why that won’t continue

3-0 Foden Cherki O’Reilly

Is there really an FA Cup final on today? Media seems very quiet so far.

That's because there's no red teams in it.

Can't wait to settle down for Cup Final It's a Knockout

Looking forward to seeing the helicopter following the team bus on the journey to Wembley and seeing the players stroll around the hotel grounds after their breakfast

Come on City!

Does anyone know what strip City will be wearing? Chelsea are the designated home team and wearing their home kit. While I don't see any clash between our blue and theirs and the shorts and socks don't clash, I fear we will be wearing that appalling rain strip. Hopefully not and it's home kit and first choice team selection, Trafford in for Donnarumma. No place for sentiment for Stones or Ake, win the trophy and get them on late on if needs must.

When we played at the Etihad both teams wore their home kit. There's absolutely no season we have to wear that shitty rain one

I agree, hopefully sense prevails but we wore the rain one at Stamford Bridge last month.

TNT are doing an all dayer. Seems ok, not showing everybody scoring against us, like PL pre match does.

No Eddie Waring though......

He hasn't scored one goal at Wembley - about time he fucking did.

Well at least those who are going won't have to put up with "when the saints go marching in" for a full 90 minutes like at the semi final!!

We're too heavy favourites. Don't like it

Here, here !!!

Watching from the Dominican Republic, hopefully the hotel tv has got a channel showing the game. I'll either be in the pool celebrating or sulking on a sunbed

Marmoush a 10?
