Forest, because it would be good to see a different club win something - City might be shite in the league right now, but their dominance has been boring for football in recent years. Plus there's the 115 charges stuff.

I don't like Villa and this place would be unbearable if Palace won it. Also, it would mean we went out to the eventual winners.
Forest also have cheated

For our European aspirations anything other than a Forest or City win will be a disaster.

Both Villa and that lot are currently beneath us and if that remains the case and one of them wins the FA Cup, another European spot is taken away from the league positions.

Unlikely to overtake Forest and City (given their remaining fixtures).
So therefore a shame they’ve been drawn against each other in the semifinal. All of our European FA Cup eggs are now in that basket.

voted city, but can see Rashford scoring the winner for Villa at both Wembley games for them

Forest will just turn up for their semi final aiming to take it to penalties - could be first team to lift cup via five successive penalty shoot outs

Got to be Citeh. Can’t stand palace or villa, and you surely can’t have an FA Cup winner that has only managed to beat Luton?

Gone Villa because I personally don't have a problem with them. Unfortunately Palace could win this though. We won't have to hear 'Did you cry at Wembley?' but 'FA Cup winners, you'll never sing that' is a real possibility.

I quite like the idea of the FA or whoever came up with the idea getting ridiculed when the team lifting the cup have only actually beaten one team, Luton, in open play.

Will be really dull if city win it again. Having said that, obviously if it's a City-Palace final then you support them but otherwise it's Forest for me.

Anyone but City !
I had hoped for a fresh new looking Cup Final to reflect the competitive league. But I fear that same old moneybags City will take it.
If a Forest win would help us , then them obviously.

Now we're out, my only interest in who wins it is "whatever's best for us", so in descending order of preference:

1. Man City (should knock Europa down another place)
= Nottingham Forest (see. Man City)
3. Aston Villa

Saturday really hurts. As much as the semi against Utd penno defeat tbh.

I have one wish.. Palarse to be demolished by Villa. Can't bear the Nigels getting to another final and God forbid winning it.
I also feel strangely attracted to City winning it. Takes away some of the pain of bailing out the 'most open' FA Cup in years.
And then they can hit them with a 40 point deduction just in time for their open top bus parade : -)
