[Albion] Premier League & FA Cup 26-27/4/25

[Lady Whistledown]

I tell you what. Given all the hype around the latter stages of the FA Cup this season and the potential for a final that neutrals could actually get excited about, Palace v City really is a colossal let-down for almost everyone, isn't it?

 

[Simster]

Feel quite sorry for Forest fans. We know the feeling. Made worse by the absolute wank Wembley habit of blasting out City songs the second the whistle goes.

Massive disrespect to the losing team.

Yes and no. In fact, no - they can do one. They scabbed their way to Wembley thanks to three penalty shoot outs. They've been as lucky as Palace, and when it comes to luck, Palace set a pretty high bar.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

They'll step-up a level for the only trophy this season.

I'm sure they will.

But a few season ending injuries for Palace players wouldn't go a miss over the next couple of weeks.

 

[Simster]

I'll leave all you City fanboys on here to celebrate...

Off to the Flaccid Cock for a laugh

I'll pop over there shortly. It's always an absolute pleasure when they've been spanked.

 

[Eric the meek]

YNWA being sung now.

When's the draw for the Final?

Don’t hold it against their fans myself. They’ve waited a long time for the opportunity. Luck is just the nature of Cup football.

…and relatively few City supporters to hear it

Once Forest drew Abu Dhabi, I was chilled about our exit. Imho we don’t get past them at Wembley. Especially us missing key players.

 

[Questions]

Watching Van Dyke…. Celtic and Liverpool. Him and Dalgleish. Legends. Poyet wanted him didn’t he ?

Did it cause the “ceiling” and falling out with Bloom/Barber?

My Liverpool mate will be chuffed. Happy for AliMac. Delighted it wasn't City again. Hilarious that in a year where City were below par Arsenal still don't win it.

Good football weekend overall. Palace win aside of course.

As well as Liverpool have played this season, I personally think this has been one of the dullest Prems in years. A title that was won with a month to spare with no competition and the title being done and dusted in reality about a month ago.

The relegation places having already been decided with 5 games to go, with some of the lowest points totals ever seen by the arse end of the division, have really made this the 'watching wallpaper dry' season.

There is undoubted quality in there but come the final knockings has anyone really been excited much this season for us or the league as a whole?

I’ve loved it. A break from the usual procession of who will get closest to the petro cheat stating of Abu Dhabi, then ultimately misses out. And the countless losses of Manure and Spurs.

PSG - Abu Dhabi - Bayern - Celtic = one of the worst things about modern football. For me, elated one of them flopped this time.

 

[Motogull]

If you could chose to win how to win the league, it would be against your rivals. The next best thing must be to humiliate the fighting cocksuckers. That has got to make today an extra bit special for the Liverpool fans.

For me.... nobody is worse than Liverpool and Man Utd ..... those two could disappear up their own self important backsides tomorrow and I would cheer. So, whereas I wouldn't have wanted another City procession to the title, I really hoped it wouldn't be Liverpool.
Liverpool - Man Utd - Bayern - Celtic - PSG - Juventus ......plus Palące of course . I despise the lot of them.

Watching on a stream, at 5-1 he kept orchestrating a high press of about 8 players near Alisson’s goal in open play. Leading to a couple of counters, one mucked up by Nunez as he had too many options.

I thought one lore of football was that when receiving a hiding, to shut up shop to keep the score down?
