Palace can thank me for that. Great goal.

[Weston Super Saint]

Lol.

One shot, one goal.

[sfc4prem]

Super goal

[AlexLaw76]

Palace nearly 2-0 up

when they beat the City press, they look very dangerous 

[SouSaint]

That clown Hassenhuttl said no to Eze 🤣

[Baird of the land]

Happy Henderson wasn’t sent off but that was a let’s not ruin the fa cup final decision.

Nothing was given as Haaland was going away from goal, but surely it should have been at least a free kick for handball.

[AlexLaw76]

Stupid challenge that 

[Baird of the land]

Stupid by Mitchell but that’s a dive

[sockeye]

Palace playing very dangerously, that penalty will build momentum for City.

...Is what I would have said if it went in.

Good save

[CB Fry]

I wish we were Crystal Palace 

[Viking Saint]

Great save

[Viking Saint]

Am enjoying the commentary and the fact they are slating possession stats and saying that goals is the only stat that counts. Wonder if RM is watching, he must be hating this. Organised defence, moving the ball forwards quickly, all anathema to him

[LiberalCommunist]

I reckon there might be a little bit of chatter about var tonight. 

[AlexLaw76]

Great save again

VAR can’t give free kicks like that. They decided if it’s a red or not, it wasn’t as haaland going away from goal. If they’d give a red it would have been a free kick

Should have been but VAR doesn't decide on that once they decided it wasn't a red. I think he was fortunate not to be sent though.

Never a sending off

No way a sending off

I'm surprised that RM wasn't offered a pundit role for the cup final. This is the kind of game that would really benefit for his insightful and pragmatic analysis.

Not enough to be overturned by VAR. Some refs would have judged that Haaland would have had a clear sight of an open goal from a wide angle without the handball, and sent the keeper. I don't think VAR would have overturned that.

Either decision would not have been overturned by VAR, I doubt

which is what we want, I guess

[AlexLaw76]

2-0

 

[sockeye]

Bosh!

[AlexLaw76]

Or is it?

It is not.

[Lighthouse]

I've never seen the doctors kicking off before.

[East Kent Saint]

Pep didn't learn much from playing Saints did he 😄

[bpsaint]

Boring boring city. God I hope we don’t get another manager that specialises in this possession shite.

[AlexLaw76]

Munoz must have a higher ceiling than Palace. Cracking player

[sfc4prem]

City are a bore to watch.

I remember Chelsea’s medic kicking off against Mourinho a few years back but the medics kicking off against each other is a new one for me as well.

They’ve got a few really good players, built and a very good side there without trying to reinvent football

[SaintsBarry74]

City with high possession with little to show for. Don't know why they're still learning from RM.

[Jimmy_D]

10 mins feels a bit excessive to me.

Would've been 4 or 5 if City were 1-0 up.

Glad they’ve had the season that they have, hopefully it’s a sign that teams have figured out how to counter this brand of football and perhaps we’ll start seeing teams move away from it.

I think Palace are gonna do it. What a day for them, their fans have been quality. Can’t help but feel a tinge of sadness it’s not us.

 

[CB Fry]

Palace are definitely going to win.

[Jimmy_D]

Wow. What a day for Palace and their fans!

[AlexLaw76]

Cracking result

[Turkish]

Fantastic! Well done Palace 👏👏👏👏

[Baird of the land]

Really a lot like last week’s game, except palace actually had some attacking threat.

[sockeye]

That's absolutely brilliant, very pleased for them

[SouSaint]

When you see those scenes in the Palace end it really makes you sick that Pochettino and Koeman both fucked the FA Cup off because they preferred top half finishes. 

[Wiggles31]

Great to see. Fuck off Pep you boring bald eagle. 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Great to see. That's what winning the FA Cup means to clubs like Palace and us.

We made the FA Cup semi final and League Cup final after they both left.

I didn't see Henderson doing anything, so was Pep just having a go at a winning player for managing the game?

Like his team don't dive, whine and try for every advantage, fair or not, that they can.
