Sorry but it's a 3-0 defeat tomorrow. Manu are in form and we are struggling to score a goal. Not a result I want but just being realistic!!!

I consider myself a realist when it comes to league games, not one of those that thinks we can win every game and think form etc should be factored in

 

But this is very much different, it's a one off game 

 

Our fans will be better and we have players than can hurt them as much as they have players that can hurt us

 

We can win this and that's the mentality we all need to have for tomorrow, pessimism/realism can take a day off

I’m excited and nervous for it, am hoping we play the game and not the occasion.

 

The bigger pitch will effect both sides, for someone like Maxi it could be a massive opportunity to run into space, not sure he starts though.

 

I think Joelinton gets left forward and Willock comes into midfield, where they swap throughout the match. Bring on Maxi when legs start getting tired.

 

Bruno & Joe against Fred & Casemiro is intriguing.

If I'm honest, I'm 60-40 Man United are going to win tomorrow, but I'm sure as fuck going to enjoy every minute of the game, be utterly positive, and be proud as fuck for everyone that's their, the staff, the players and the fans. 

 

And who knows, we have a fair chance of actually winning something.

 

Howay the fucking lads.

The pitch at Wembley is basically exactly the same dimensions as SJP, isn’t it? 

According to Wikipedia it's the same dimensions 

 

I've heard/seen it be said so often now even though it doesn't seem to be the case 

 

Probably a classic case of people just repeating what they've read elsewhere

Starting the underdog will suit us I think. I'd hate to go there and be expected to win by most fans including the neutrals, had we been playing Wolves or something like that then I think I'd be shitting it in all honesty. Having nothing to lose is good and the pressure being on them is also good. 

 

Neither Keegan nor Robson led us out at Wembley in a Cup Final and Howe deserves tomorrow, it's a huge acknowledgement of what he's overseen in the last 15 months or whatever it's been. He's picked us up, organised us, motivated us and got us to a Final and we've got a decent chance of winning the fucking thing too. Yes, we're the underdog but if it's still 0-0 after 65 mins and we've got Isak and ASM running t them then 1 chance, 1 goal might just be enough.

 

But please please please just show up on the day. Give the fans something to fucking cheer, run for 95 minutes and don't leave anything behind. Put a fucking performance in. The players deserve it and the fans deserve it too, just show up, minimum respect, don't stand off them and let them feel the pressure. Get in their faces and fucking stay there all afternoon. This is more than doable, we've waited long enough. KTF

Didn't think not being there with everyone I go to SJP with would bother me too much, but it has like. :lol: Felt gutted all day today.

 

Wasn't bad at all with the nerves ahead of tomorrow whatsoever. Then I watched that Football Focus video narrated by Shearer on our trophyless 54 years. Now I'm shitting it. 

 

Do us proud lads. And those inside Wembley, whatever happens, outsing those cunts in the other end of the ground.

Surprisingly you are correct.
 

SJP = 114.8 yd × 74.4 yd

Wembley = 115 yd x 74 yd

 

There are some differences between grounds, Anfield and Stamford Bridge are noticeably smaller. Man City’s pitch is bigger than Wembley.
