The name is also *chef's kiss*
I see City have erected another statue and whilst I sort of get that that moment is probably the most meritorious of commemoration, it does seem to be getting a bit out of hand. They'll obviously have to have one of De Bruyne at some stage. Silva getting one sets the bar for Fernandinho to get one. Guardiola. Just seems a bit of a slippery slope.
Jamie Pollock next, please.
Should put them in the stands. Maybe they would eventually fill it.
I'm still waiting for my 1,000 foot Drogba colossus on the Fulham Broadway.
Straddling the tube line.
Maybe have to demolish that Cadogan development so it can go from the Fulham Road to Kings/New Kings Road.
Watching this play-off, if we're going to have to reconcile ourselves to the fact that we might have to put up with Burnley for another season, it would be preferable if we didn't have to have Huddersfield as well.
If they want to go down the iconic moment route, they need a sad Dennis Law.
'Man City' didn't exist before 2010 [or whatever].
And surely Dickov or whoever scored in that Play-off final against Gillingham [was it?].
The best City team was the Ali Benarbia-driven affair that went up (and then possibly straight back down) under Kev'n Keeg'n.
Yeah, I wish Keegan kept going with those 2nd Division to Premier League efforts. Imagine Wigan coming through the ranks but with Kevin at the helm instead of Paul Jewell.
Shaun Goater surely has to get one soon.
They stayed up comfortably I think. I remember them absolutely tonking us at Maine Road after we'd taken a really early lead, Anelka, Benarbia and Wright-Phillips running the show.Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd

Its clearly Sun Jihai next. Followed by Stephen Ireland.

Some good stuff in this. My highlights of the list:
44 - Roy Essandoh
43 - Hated it at the time, obviously, but it's a lovely goal and I love that sort of finish where it's close to the keeper but the striker squeezes it by them
34 - Love that sort of save. I wonder if that would still come up in these things if instead of a defender there it'd been another attacker who was there to bundle it in.
32 - The Sinclair overhead just gets better with age.
26 - Diving headers.Video here given those swines at the BBC didn't embed it.
25 - I'd entirely forgotten this one but it's great stuff with some top nostalgia names in there. Wasn't Jon Macken being hyped up when he first got signed from Preston?
20 - I think this might be the first United cup final I specifically remember watching. Hazy memories of the Everton one but I remember sitting down for this and it being shiiiiit. In keeping with United/Liverpool games to be fair. Great finish from Cantona though.
19 - I'd forgotten how much seethe this caused.With the world's greatest / worst ever manager threatening to call his players off, the big potato-faced tart.
15 -
5 - The Radford hit is obviously great and one I've seen dozens of times but what really struck me watching this is the absolute state of that pitch. Glorious stuff.
1 - Probably shouldn't be number one if only for Giggs' chest hair (and, well, y'know.) I remember I had to listen to most of this one on the radio for some reason but for reasons I forget, maybe I was sent to bed, I didn't even hear the Giggs goal but my sister had some friends over and one of them told me the next morning that he'd apparently scored one of the best goals ever. Of course in modern football he'd simply have been tripped by somebody about 40 yards before he hit the shot.
You forget how good that Michael Owen winner was. He can only really score in that bottom corner, and even then it has to be perfect.
The David Seaman save was recently ruined for me when I saw the state of his Twitter account. Why does he have a weekly podcast?
Owen was just a proper finisher. I always think his goal against Portugal in 2004 is one that I'm not convinced there's an England striker since who'd actually score it just because of how instinctive it is and he knows he has to just try and hit it with no time to fart about trying to control it or fashion it into a chance he was more comfortable with.
The most surprising omission.
That amazing.
My first final I can remember watching is probably 1994. One-sided affair between Chelsea and United. Glenn Hoddle subbing himself on when the game was going pear-shaped stuck with me.

Watching this FA Cup rewind thing, those 1970 finals were something else. I know it's a game that has gone down in folklore but I don't think I've ever actually seen any of it before [maybe the odd mental challenge].
Hadn't realised today's final is a repeat of the final 10 years ago. Christ that was a depressing game.
This Forest kit is blinding. Not sure the TV contrast can actually handle it. They should be about 3 up so maybe their players' eyes can't either.
No Kai Havertz
3-0 Liverpool
Pulisic
Abide With Me shouldn't get this kind of abuse.
National Anthem? FACKIN' BOO.
William doing the meet and greet? BOO!
Show of unity for Ukraine? YAY
Kneeling before the game? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Joyless cunts. This is why tradition is dead.

Chelsea should forfeit this for playing in their away kit. What gives?
Should be 2 up already. Hopefully dont regret these wasted chances.
Chalobah against Diaz is not fair
The first two? Fair game. The other two, no.Abide With Me shouldn't get this kind of abuse.
National Anthem? FACKIN' BOO.

Their home kit is disgusting so that’s a good enough reason
That Salah banner they just showed with the camels shagging in the background.
No idea how neither team have scored. Might be a repeat of the league cup final
Once again, the managers should be fined for wearing their tracksuits.
Tuchel needs to ditch the cap. He looks like a man receiving palliative care.
Liverpool really here for the taking atm.
We really go to shit in second halves; and ideally we've already scored a few goals by then to cover it up.
No worries though. James Milner winner incoming.
Yeah you record spells a team that goes to shit all the time alright.
This is roughly your 200th post making the same point, you might need to let it go.
Milner winning assist, should have been. This feels like a replay of the February final. Wonder if Tuchel has the chutzpa to put on Kepa again.
Van Dijk off, perfect.
The PEDs have ran out lads. We're fucked.
Which, using the same exaggerated count, is about 10% of the same point always falsely being made. If I’m calling you pessimistic cunts then it really is time for an inward look.This is roughly your 200th post making the same point, you might need to let it go.

I wonder if they'll Kepa again if we get there.
The game is there for the taking.
The main thing I take from this is Luis Dias has more energy than a nuclear bomb.

It's the victim culture. They don't know how to deal with good times.
Get Divock on [is that allowed, are there 5 subs?].
Salah, Van Dijk and Fabinho injured in the space of 4 days not ideal.
