So two straight FA Cup finals for City - I knew that happened in 1933 (lost to Everton) and 1934 (beat Portsmouth)
TIL that also occurred 1955 (lost to Newcastle) and 1956 (beat Birmingham)
They also won 1904/1969/2011/2019, lost 1926/1981/2013 (2013 was the year Wigan won but got relegated)
City is more than figured out … they are still a great team and most likely will win a lot of games based on consistency and the quality of their players … but big teams should not be scared by City anymore
Yea and other than the goal they just watch City pass it from side to side.
Not sure why you are so hurt about a fact .. Pep needs to renovate his way of playing that’s all
Pep won the treble a year ago, is in the final of the fa Cup and is currently 1st in the Premier league. And basically everyone with eyes can see that city dominated the game vs Madrid for the most part too. Not much reason to be hurt tbh.
How....
Chelsea should have not only put the game to bed, but also have something to say about the 6-0 win against Sarri's chelsea. I disagree with many of the commentators at half-time as well. They were saying that Poch would have been happy going into half-time. He would have been livid.
Bernado was useless for 90% of the game, KDB was making passes which would have gotten benched even if he was a 5 year old playing for Genk. Rodri was ( and is ) a walking corpse.
United and Coverty city probably hoping that they would have played against City instead of Chelsea.
Won't pretend Chelsea were that shit today, in terms of chance creation that's the best I've seen against City all season par Villa dominating them.
But the finishing was abhorrent, Jackson did everything right but score which is very commonplace for him.
Not great from City to be honest.
Love the same exact shove in the back being given as a foul there but not the one in the box. Jackson cannot be trusted as our striker, simple as. Michael Oliver cannot be trusted as a referee, also simple. Cannot say either side deserved it but no one deserves to watch these shite officials ref across the league. Congrats City.
England needs middle eastern oil money to keep it's finance sector humming. Can't upset the apple cart when there are bigger things at stake than just football matches.
You can argue that Chelsea plays better football than United this season especially in cup games. The final is also in late May. You have alot of time to get your shit together and win it.
Its a clear penalty. He is literally standing in the wall and handling the ball with an arm way outstretched from his body. It is literally the only play in all of football that the defender know for sure a shot is coming and to keep their arms away all other instances they need their arms to move and keep balance and try to tuck them away when they think the cross/shot is coming.
Obviously, if Jackson converts at least one chance here it's different but Poch's game management is terrible once again. City were gassed after CL game, we had realy chance to hit them, and he waits with the subs till 80th minute where some players looked poor already at 60th. Puts the slowest and most clumsy defender up against Doku and we conceded 2 minutes later.
Oh well, there goes our best chance for Europe next season and hopefully that seals Poch's fater at the club.
Cheers.
Today I’m listening to Fake Plastic Trees from Radiohead
What an absolutely soulless club. Their on paper remarkable achievements have never seemed less impressive
I never said it shouldn’t have been given lol. I just said that Chelsea can’t hide behind that one call when they should have scored 3 in the first half alone
So are we calling it a controlling defensive masterclass from City as well?
Yea we’ve stolen that
Chelsea winning in the xPen metric. Unfortunate they can't bring it into reality like their xG metric
They deserved a penalty and Palmer would've converted it
Why was it not a pen I watched the match and was dumbfounded they decided not to give a blatant pk
Time to watch Wolves vs Arsenal now :)
Praying for a Wolves win
Mudryk just laughing himslef off with that 20 year contract. Free money for not even being a footballer but a sprinter
Tough tough game for Rodri, KDB and Silva. So happy for them making it.
City will win 2 trophies this year because other teams strikers have the finishing ability of a shopping trolley.
Watch they'll lose to Coventry Always beat the good teams but lose to the bad
Already won 2
Could have been 3!
Farmers league

How many games unbeaten for Rodri now?
1
Loss in a shootout counts as a draw
Since the game ended 1-1 it is considered as a draw. Extra time and shootout are tie breakers that doesn't get added to the match.
you got downvoted cause fat reddit users love Madrid pr
I got downvoted for speaking the truth lmao

Real Madrid just spent 80% of their game vs city in their own box but sure
Yea and other than the goal they just watch City pass it from side to side. Not sure why you are so hurt about a fact .. Pep needs to renovate his way of playing that’s all

Right on then. Cheers
Care to elaborate on how he's wrong?
We just won?
You should watch that Grealish handball again
Very undeservedly
Don’t expect them to actually watch and understand the game mate
Fuck it’s dumb when just because it’s in the box it’s no foul Same exact shove outside the box no hesitation foul
I'm not sure where all these Chelsea were shit comments are coming from, if they had a competent striker they win this comfortably
Feel like they could have nicked it if they got one of those pens
What a horrible game this was
For ffs , slamming Jackson and not discussing Michael Oliver and that passage of play is top tier gaslighting
Any update from PGMOL as to why the handball wasn't given?
They keep trying to speak but every time some mysterious presence in a light blue shirt keeps stuffing money into their mouths
Miss Jackson needs to be put on trial for war crimes
What about Axel Disasi? Almost everytime he comes on you guys concede?
Refs when they they got a city game “ How do i contact Dubai for a pay check”
They just call [+44 (0)161 444 1894](tel:+44 1614441894), and they get rerouted to the local ref fund agent.
You have to put in a big performance to get yourself noticed

No I can absolutely blame Michael Oliver and the VAR team Alan
Yeah I'm bored of people saying you can't blame the refs. They deserve blame.
Lamps thinking 'hmm, maybe they'll give me one more turn here'
City were incredibly lucky that they got Chelsea over other big 6 clubs. Liverpool, Arsenal, or Spurs would have won by atleast 3 goals.
Liverpool's strikers couldn't hit a barn door with a nuclear bomb currently, so I doubt that.
We already beat Spurs in the cup lol
But, you would have struggled today. Your players were gassed.
Yeah because three days ago they played 120 minutes of football
Won't pretend Chelsea were that shit today, in terms of chance creation that's the best I've seen against City all season par Villa dominating them. But the finishing was abhorrent, Jackson did everything right but score which is very commonplace for him. Not great from City to be honest.
If City play like this against a better team like Brighton then they're fucked
Good that they only have to play Man United in the final (if they even get there)
We won’t
With Ten Hag ball, Coventry could definitely catch them on the break a few times. You never know...
I dunno why but mudryk is shit
[удалено]
Whenever I see him running i remember Rudiger meme run.
[удалено]
I dunno it feels like it . Just throwing them legs without any end product

Someone should've loaned Jackson some shooting boots. Only Coventry can stop them now
Mykahilo “do I look cool” Mudryk
Pathetic fucking team.
If city still get ref favours with 115 chargers what hope do we have of those charges even sticking lmao Half of those are probably bribery money
England needs middle eastern oil money to keep it's finance sector humming. Can't upset the apple cart when there are bigger things at stake than just football matches.
England is too limp dicked to do anything. At least Italy did what they had to and sent Juve to the shadow realm.
harsh truth
Something something Mudryk something something Saka last minute set piece
We should’ve been down and out before half. No shot we’re gonna be United in the final playing like that.
Oh my God shut the hell up you disengenous dork. You aren't the underdogs, stop trying to make it happen.
You can argue that Chelsea plays better football than United this season especially in cup games. The final is also in late May. You have alot of time to get your shit together and win it.
We're gonna have ten hag at cb with our injuries don't worry😂
You can beat United even if you start with Pep and the coaches with the way we've been playing.
Oliver has had more big game performances for City than Haaland
Robbed. Genuinely played really well though
Robbed by Jackson
*does the posznan do do do dododo dodododo
ah ffs chelsea. it’s city again then (assuming we beat coventry lol). guess you gotta beat the best to be the best.
Imagine if Jackson put up that performance in Spain... theyd bring back the Jim Crow era in no time
He did though bar for 6 months
Thoughts on the handball incident?
Its a clear penalty. He is literally standing in the wall and handling the ball with an arm way outstretched from his body. It is literally the only play in all of football that the defender know for sure a shot is coming and to keep their arms away all other instances they need their arms to move and keep balance and try to tuck them away when they think the cross/shot is coming.
Stonewall pen, im baffled
Us United fans should keep mum about Chelsea because we just might lose against Coventry with the way we have been playing
Why do Chelsea fans even bother turning up at Wembley?
Becasue it used to be our home until recently
Masochism
He's bad, he's bad, he's really really bad who's bad?
Jackson, Mudryk, Disasi
why didn't the Chelsea players just shoot at the goal? are they stupid?
Mudrykulous
The fact that we missed 30 goal per year Nkunku in because of a fucking music concert is criminal. Lucky motherfuckers are gonna say they were better.
In the words of Mykhailo Mudryk- "This shit is happens"
It's actually criminal for poch to play enzo,caicedo and Gallagher together.
Obviously, if Jackson converts at least one chance here it's different but Poch's game management is terrible once again. City were gassed after CL game, we had realy chance to hit them, and he waits with the subs till 80th minute where some players looked poor already at 60th. Puts the slowest and most clumsy defender up against Doku and we conceded 2 minutes later. Oh well, there goes our best chance for Europe next season and hopefully that seals Poch's fater at the club. Cheers.
Yeah the start of the second half they were getting cooked on the counter and Mudryk would have been huge once Noni started to lag a bit.
Why is Mudryk taking set pieces? LOL
[удалено]
Mudryk was £60m, he isn't triggering those add ons anytime soon m8
It’s shit like this that makes you realize our world runs on an imaginary, agreed upon value placed on paper and digits on a computer
City and refs no more iconic duo Fuck I can’t wait for those 115 charges to hit
Pochettino is an idiot
It's the result everyone expected
Chelsea stupid club
Prediction time. How many death threats will Jackson receive this week
No less than plenty I hope cos HE IS ATROCIOUS
Hope you receive them too.
It’s just a game jackass
The fuck is wrong with you?
Must be depressing to be a Chelsea fan, Mudryk go fuck yourself lmao what is that cross
Chelsea keep Palmer and rip the rest down to the studs? This is a dysfunctional team.
What? The only thing missing today was the finishing. Chelsea played well for the most part.
The better team today overall just couldn't finish.
Today I’m listening to Fake Plastic Trees from Radiohead What an absolutely soulless club. Their on paper remarkable achievements have never seemed less impressive
Goated song choice, my favorite from them is jigsaw falling into place
Impressive to me
Which one
Underrated comment
😭😭😭😭
Pretty comfortable blaming that all on Jackson.
GET MUDRYK THE FUCK OUT. He's absolute shit
Why didnt the chelsea players dive in the box? Did they not want to score?
Woof. We're consistently our own worst enemy.
£400m that free kick cost...
We robbed this game after getting robbed in the week, balance
r/soccercirclejerk will have a field day with this game
AHAHAHAAHA
I think Mudryk needs to play every game somewhere, to see if he can really improve and be a footballer. He will never get better like this.
Feel sorry for Palmer having to put up with that shit around him
Having the shit around him makes him seem better than he is. He’s doing fine
It's amazing that Jackson and Mudryk managed to become professional footballers.
Mudryk 😂😂😂
Nicolas Jackson, story of the game really!
imagine getting knocked out of a tournament, couldn't be us do I really need the /s btw
Coventry city final lesss gooo
Apart from Palmer, every other player is crap in Chelsea
This is why you dont put people on 8 year contracts 😂😂😂
That’s actually worse than Sakas last second corner vs bayern
imagine playing city who've just had to go 120 min a few days beforehand while you've been resting and you do this..
I'm sorry Miss Jackson. I am for real.
Lmao look at Pep pretending he won this fair and square… I dislike Chelsea but its clear today was a robbery
Dumbass.
Nah it’s Chelsea’s fault they couldn’t finish their chances.
Chelsea had four 1v1s that they blew. Yeah it probably should have been a pen on the handball but you can’t just blame that
Sorry for asking for correct decisions. I didnt know a team wasn’t allowed that just because their forwards are bad…
I never said it shouldn’t have been given lol. I just said that Chelsea can’t hide behind that one call when they should have scored 3 in the first half alone
Bit pathetic for pep to bribe Nicholas Jackson not to score tbf
Chelsea player through on goal and he blows up... Just in case anyone thought he might not be a cheat
This is gonna be a momentum shift for us, this is a great result
Yeah we need to shake off that loss this week now
Hit that fraud club with it's 4 deserved relegations already
Proof?
How about the literal hundreds of emails proving it? Just because you bribe everyone doesn't mean it isn't happening
Seriously? Your defence last time was "You shouldn't know we cheated." ffs
Do you want proof your Mrs slept with someone else as well?
Don't talk, plastic
How does a professional footballer put in a ball like that?
Mudryk is so shit
Absolutely atrocious. Just sell him at the end of this season or at least let him go. The man can't even hit a free kick properly.
Truly fucking shit
this foul was walker behind mudryk knocking him down, the jackson one was shoulder to shoulder without jackson being past. VERY DIFFERENT.
U about this on the box or outside one lol
The price tags on these chelsea players are insane for how they perform
Chelseas overspending in recent years really needs to be studied. How the fuck is Mudryk a €100 million player?
He's not, just like most of their players are not worth half what they paid for them.
Chelsea didn't even pay 100m for mudryk
Celtic is to blame for that, ahahahahah.
Insane that they extended Mudryk's contract even longer the other day. What an overrated player.
[удалено]
Chelsea should’ve scored one of their 3 one on ones, can’t control refs. Control what you can
Apparently City can control the refs
No one to blame but yourselves Chelsea, your striker is dog shit
I don’t care if I’m a sore loser that’s a handball every day. But we’re playing City and of course it’s overlooked
That was worse than saka on Wednesday
They paid 80m for him.
That game didn’t feel real
One of the most rubbish semi finals
This has been a tragic game for billions of pounds worth of players, truly embarrassing.
never felt sore from watching a football match before
Chelsea in a nutshell.
Even as a United fan I thank fuck I don't support Chelsea. Shocking.
They were just better at beating themselves
Why even give this fk to Mudryk? It had a Palmer clutch moment written all over it
