Absolutely fantastic game compared to yesterdays. Man City will be hot favourites, but it's a one-off game - anything can happen as evidenced by Wigan's cup fin a few years back against Man City.

 

A lot will depend on how many fans City bring too. I mean it's obviously very clear that they those phoney sponsorship deals mean they don't have a massive fanbase outside of their core. You'd never get Liverpool or Man Utd unable to sell tickets for big games.

A thrilling semi-final and well done to Watford. I hope they can upset City in the final.

 

I'm also gutted for Wolves, but they've still had an excellent season. Hopefully they can bounce back and end the season strongly.

The FA Cup final between Manchester City and Watford will kick off at 17:00 BST on 18 May.

 

Regular posters will know my views on the kick-off time.

It could be worse, remember when it was sandwiched between 2 Premier League fixtures on a Sunday a few years back? At least it gets the full day's attention & occurs after the domestic league season has finished.
I think Eurovision is happening on that same day so it looks like it's going to be a very lucrative day for BBC One. As for the kick off time I don't think it's bad really, it's going to be a Saturday so it's not like 5 PM is too late for the fans who will travel to Wembley.
Last season the final was even less entertaining than the Royal Wedding. Let's hope this year's can outdo the ESC!

Although it could be something like a 4-0 to Man City. BBC wouldn't want extra time and then penalties with Eurovision on the same night.

Watford defender Jose Holebas will be available for the FA Cup final against Manchester City after his red card against West Ham was rescinded.

 

Holebas, 34, was sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity by tugging back Hammers winger Michail Antonio in Sunday's 4-1 defeat at Vicarage Road.

Only one way unfort, they are too good now for another Wigan! Although they've been celebrating a lot this week so who knows?!

Yes it could be a one-sided game for Man City. But I hope Watford can make a game of it.

Can only see City winning really, they are just too well coached and there is a huge difference in quality.

 

Would be funny to see Watford win, one cos it would be funny for City, but two because it would mean Man Utd entering the qualifying stages of the Europa League.
