Confirmed 3pm kick off which clashes with a Rugby final at Spurs stadium, looking at a 6am coach to avoid traffic
kick-off time maybe inevitably brought forward, think it sits better at 3pm on a Saturday, bad enough I'd guess 50% + of top flight games at a wild guess aren't at that time given lunchtime and teatime Saturday, 2+ Sunday timeslots and Monday night games, probably more if you include midweek rather than just weekend. Sure some of it due to Europe/cup games but eg Liverpool playing 3pm Saturday across the Premier Leagues from start to now have dipped a lot and not sure register even 10 a season FA Cup final: Man Utd and Man City to kick off at 15:00 - BBC Sport Was curious about number of 3pm kick-offs for Liverpool so far in 23/24, THREE! (Bournemouth home 19/08, Bumley home 10/02 and Forest away 02/03) and by looks of the last five game kick-off times won't be any more, not sure if that is the fewest ever and obviously Europa League will have influenced a fair few might have otherwise been at that time but isn't the first time Liverpool have played a) in Europe and b) that competition
There will be billions of people around the world watching Man Utd and Man City in this FA Cup final. This is the biggest domestic cup final in the world.
Not related to this game but was in a cup final . Never a red in those days apparently Probably be worth 3 now !
Probably be the usual story. United will get an early fluky goal and then try defend for 80 minutes, which they are awful at so I dunno why the even bother trying. City will equalise before half time and then win about 4 - 1.
I'm not bitter but I hope Man City absolutely smash Man United Not really FA cup related but made me laugh.
He's right though, he presence irritates me. Spends half his time drinking cocktails in Miami and then pops back for a day in May.
Yeah all of a sudden this **** rocks up at Forest away, Brighton away, Spurs away and West Ham at home, Bournemouth away on a February Saturday night not for Noel, Neville still a bigger ****, great day when he pulled up at lights near Sawyers on Deansgate and City fans tried tip his car over.
When Man Utd sack their manager this weekend they need to replace him with Kim Jong Un to sort out all the lazy players like Rashford.
It's hard to see past a City win tbh though I think Utd will be more competitive than of late with a few long term injuries back . So if Noel Gallagher is flying in from Miami to support City I wonder if Rachel Riley will making her way from the Countdown studio . Here's 9 for you Rachel . ETHALOSER I'll go 2-1 City , a Manc lad in Foden to bag the winner after coming from behind to win .
Can't both clubs just share the trophy for 6 months. Don't want either to win but at a push will cheer on ( God please forgive me for my sins ) United.
As a Sunderland fan I've got to be wanting a Utd win this afternoon since it would mean Newcastle miss out on Europe. And I don't care how shallow and insincere I look "Going on up to the spirit in the sky..."
Doesn't feel like there is a FA Cup final today really. More about will Ten Hag be sacked or not. And many will probably be thinking it should be Coventry v Man C..
I know we have a huge rebuilding process to go through and a long journey to get to to be our club again but hopefully today is a start and today Manchester will be Red again. Let's go we've got this & I want that England Omission to fire Rashford up today to show his true talent which he hasnt shown in a while
