April 7, 20196 yr Author BT must be happy with their choice of the game the way Watford v Wolves has gone.
April 7, 20196 yr 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.
April 8, 20196 yr Author 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.
April 9, 20196 yr Author 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.
April 11, 20196 yr 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.
April 11, 20196 yr 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.
April 11, 20196 yr Last season the final was even less entertaining than the Royal Wedding. Let's hope this year's can outdo the ESC!
April 11, 20196 yr Author 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.
May 14, 20196 yr Author 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Jose Holebas will be available for the FA Cup final against Manchester City after his red card against West Ham was rescinded.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.
May 17, 20196 yr Only one way unfort, they are too good now for another Wigan! Although they've been celebrating a lot this week so who knows?!
May 17, 20196 yr Author Yes it could be a one-sided game for Man City. But I hope Watford can make a game of it.
May 17, 20196 yr 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.
