First game since we won PL. Remember our dive on form after we won PL last year?
Players been on piss.
Sacking Cafe Hag might have a positive effect on rags.
Ref decisions have already favoured them into this final.
I expect rags to fluke it, possibly via penalties.

We go into the game as red hot favourites at the bookies and I've yet to hear of a pundit who is putting their faith in the rags. And I don't think we'll be complacent as it isn't in out nature these days.
Of course, in a one game anything can happen. A fluke goal, defensive/goalie howler, poor finishing, worldie goal out of nowhere, poor referee decision etc. But we've beaten the rags twice already this season and have prevailed in 6 out of last 7 games, so although I think it will be closer than the betting suggests, I am quietly confident we will win
As an aside I'm very surprised at the media coverage surrounding the rags and in particular ten Bob's position and likely sacking. Can only assume that the rag hacks are trying a bit of reversed psychology in attempting to galvanise them as they know ordinarily they will be beaten.
All those blues going down to Etihad South, stay safe my friends and do the boys proud. Enjoy the day/weekend and do your bit to help bring the trophy back home
3-1 Viking Foden and Doku

Dont think its a game for Count Doku. By the time he gives the ball away at Wembley Gashford will run up the pitch and score, then they shut up shop

BBC - Mowbray and Shearer with Lineker, Micah and Rooney in the studio
Itv - Matterface, Dixon and McCoist with Pougatch, Keane, Lescott and Wright in the studio and Laura Woods and Carney pitchside
Mute button looking good.
