They've just sung Abide with Me.

Always reminds me of my Grandad, who sang along with a tear in his eye infront of the telly.

Think this might be an entertaining one.

City want to get something from (for them) what has been a shit season.

Palace have a great chance, I’d like to see them win.

Mateta started the game about 5 yards inside the city half just before Eze kicked off. Would've been controversial in the event of an early goal.

Should Palace get it done today, would it be the first time Rovers have been knocked out of the cup by an eventual winner?

Palace seem on the back foot aat the moment

Liverpool 1974 springs to mind..

Liverpool beat Newcastle in the 74 final after beating us earlier in the comp.

Palace could do with playing more of a press. It’s ok letting City have the ball, but Palace have no out ball at the moment.

First break and they score!

Perfect counter attacking move. Quality from Palace.

Wow.

First proper Palace attack and Eze scores. Great finish too..

It’s just like watching the Rovers.

Palace playing with more freedom now.

I feel for palace fans, they got a really good side this season and a manager that uses the tools at his disposal very very well. But I fear they will get the top players cherry picked this summer and eventually someone like Spurs will take there manager. I know it's the way it is but still.

They lost one of the best players in the world last summer.

Henderson slightly fortunate not to walk there.

Perhaps, but the correct decision. It seems odd however that a yellow card can’t be given in these circumstances..

Perhaps not as much money at Citeh as it seems. They've had to write the players names on their shirts in felt tip.

Maybe they should have signed Billy Sharp-y.?

Penalty City, subject to VAR..

River Don · « **Reply #20 on** May 17, 2025, 05:05:44 pm by River Don »

Shouldn't that be a corner?

IDM · « **Reply #21 on** May 17, 2025, 05:06:44 pm by IDM »

Saved.!

I thought the defender got a bit of the ball, but maybe VAR thought it wasn’t enough to overrule the ref as a clear and obvious error.?

Surprised Haaland didn’t want it.

Sharman-Lowe-esque.

Never a penalty, when are they going to look at the player already going down before way before contact - it’s a yellow for the city player all day!

IDM · « **Reply #25 on** May 17, 2025, 05:14:44 pm by IDM »

If Palace win this and it stays 1-0, Henderson is leading the race for MotM at the moment!

CottyRover · « **Reply #26 on** May 17, 2025, 05:15:58 pm by CottyRover »

Henderson having a great game. Not a penalty

Indecisive when it came to who was taking the kick - knew the outcome after that!
Entertaining game!

Used to religiously watch the cup final along with the build up, it was such an exciting meaningful day, unfortunately it lost its magic a few years ago and I’d not even realised it was today until I read this post

Decent half from my near neighbour.

Guy Mowbray, walks his little white dog past our house.
