Promises to be one of the best finals of recent times, if ever.

Arguably the best team in the world at the moment, verses a vastly improved Manchester United outfit under ETH.

The trouble with City is they are unpredictable, (and always have been) thrashing Real Madrid 4-0 then losing to Brentford a few days later (admittedly with a weakened team),

United have been playing some good stuff, but their defence is fragile and goalkeeper DDG has had a few howlers recently.

However my forecast is 4-0 to the sky blues, but in truth, it could go any way.

Think Citeh players will be knackered from grooming Haaland's golden, flowing locks.

Utd will take advantage.

I think the match will be abandoned after a pitch invitation by Just Stop Oil and the trophy will be awarded to Man Utd on the basis of good will and common sense.

Well it's the only way they will win it, but City will appeal and be awarded it as they were 3-0 up after ten minutes at the time.

Makes no sense to have it in Wembley.

Should have been re-scheduled to a northern ground.

Which stadium though? Can you imagine 70K Manchester fans arriving in Liverpool?

It will be about what United turn up , if they play at their best it will get a good game ,play like the Sevilla /Liverpool away 2nd half/ city away first half then it could be a 3 or 4 thrashing from city .

How annoyed are Man United fans going to be when City field their B/C team and still get the win thanks to a Maguire own goal? biggrin
