Wembley Awaits

[Dave-O2]

Evening all,

Just jumping on to let you know this coming Sunday i'll be making the journey from Manchester to Wembley to attend the FA cup semi final between Nottingham Forest and Manchester City.

As i'm getting the coach down it's likely i won't be back home in bed until after midnight, fingers crossed the match doesn't go to pens as i'll be home even later and tip toeing round the house not to wake anyone 😋 

Due to this i'm on leave this coming Monday 28 April, however i'll be back on Tuesday 29 April.

My score prediction is Nottingham Forest 1 Manchester City 2 🤞

I might even pop back in on Sunday and drop a picture of my view of the pitch 😁

Are you going @ColinO2?

Have a great weekend all 👍

Have a great time @Dave-O2 x

Wouldn't it be great if the underdogs won? 😂

Hard to distinguish who are actually the underdogs here....!

And in other news...a win or a draw with Forest will do for me.

Notts Forest surely @jonsie?

I'm pretty sure they aren't owned by a rich Arab Abu Dhabi prince who has poured multi- millions into the team to buy them the 'best' players available? 🙄

[jonsie]

There is no doubt that City have bought their way to success and the best players go for the highest wages.

But in pure footballing terms there is very little between them

A month ago I would have fancied Forest to win but City seem to have upped their game recently

I remember when Manchester City were playing at a dilapidated Maine Road in the Third Division in the late 1990s. Living at the time in Rochester, I seem to recall going to a game at Priestfield Stadium when Manchester City were the visitors. The overseas funding has certainly helped.

Have a great day @Dave-O2 and I look forward to seeing your photographs. 👍

Regardless, I think Notts Forest have had money ploughed into the team by some Greek magnate (according to Google) 😉

I still would prefer them to win over Man City...

[Mi-Amigo]

I don`t think Nottingham Forest are the underdogs; and think Forest could win 2 - 1.

But despite all the hype over the FA Cup, there is an even bigger match after that....

Liverpool v Spurs at Anfield and when Liverpool win, they will become Premier League Champions - equallying the record 20 league wins.

[jonsie]

A draw will do and they will equal the record of my own Man United

But I will lay odds now on Liverpool passing the record next season with the 21st Premier title

....though it pains me to say!
