Emergency plan made for FA Cup final due to unexpected fixture scenario

The FA Cup final is being held at Wembley on Saturday May 25 followed by the Championship play-off final 24 hours later - but two clubs could be involved in both

A slight inaccuracy in the article. They had assumed both Lesta and us were going up automatically as well as contesting the cup final.

Easy mistake to make.

What are the odds for city being denied the opportunity of a semi final place by a controversial VAR decision to help out the powers that be then.

It's built with the further development in mind, that stand would wrap around along that side

Saarbrücken of the third tier just made the semi finals of the German cup having already knocked out Bayern, Frankfurt and now Gladbach. Shocks do happen…

Thing is here, there's no pressure. No expectation and it's a free shot.

If we are getting beaten quite easily though, as the match wears on, I still think the match day thread on here will be quite toxic, with little allowance made for the quality of opposition from some posters.

As long as the team gives it a go, I don't think we can have much to complain about.

I still say a 3-1 defeat and I would definitely take that. Decent performance, not humiliated, no major injuries, some pennies in the coffers.

I am really looking forward to the game and won't have an ounce of tension or nerves about me.

Just be looking for a decent effort and hopefully a closer game than many anticipate.

It's curious how people are approaching this one. The bookies have us shorter odds than we were to win at Leeds in Dec and I doubt anyone would have been thinking 'take a 1-3' in that game.

I'm not necessarily confident (wasn't at Leeds!), but I reckon nit'll be closer than folk think.

Can honestly say I don’t even notice whether it’s a woman or man commentating, maybe playing FIFA has normalised it? Really don’t get the meltdowns. There’s good and bad commentators, all the local radio ones on iFollow are men and the vast majority are fucking awful and certainly worse than the average national broadcaster female presenter.

It's a cup game, anything can happen but Wolves are clear favourites. We need to keep it tight and fight like beavers, we will have chances. It will all come down to if we can be clinical and take them.

Heart: 1-2
Head: 3-1

How can you not notice their OTT excitement when a player just crosses into the area for example? They're bloody awful

Yeah, I don't understand it either. You can probably count on one hand the amount of good male pundits/commentators. I think Aluko is commentating, so the usual misogynists will be out. I don't recall if she is actually any good because I zone out. She might be awful but that just means that she fits in perfectly with the likes of Dion Dublin or Danny Murphy and their inane bullsh*t.

I agree with that
The difference being if it’s only women you think are dire
Or you say something about women shouldn’t be commenting - I had this conversation with one of our f a cup winning team - hilarious misogynist
Or some comment stereotyping the sorts of work women should do
Anything else is opinion

Get it up on the wall at Ryton. And the changing rooms on Saturday.

This calls for an early doors two-footer.

Exactly the point. So why get so upset at the women? On average they’re just as poor as the men.

Absolutely. The odds for us beating Leicester at home were not much more smaller than the 4/1 being offered on Saturday, and they barely laid a glove on us even when they had 11 men on the pitch.

It's going to be really tough, and we have to bring our A game to stand any real chance, but some of the defeatist comments on this thread seem a bit OTT.

Bobby will snap him at some point down their left. He'll be rolling around like Neymar. Nailed on yellow card.

It's 4/1 - like printing money that.

In fact I've just stuck £20 on it.

I'm not upset at all - just pointing out that it's not misogynistic to say how bad they are - you'd point out if a woman's bad at their job in the workplace,same as you would with a man

It’s a really interesting area of discussion isn’t it

It’s not offensive to say you don’t appreciate the work that people are delivering
