Do I have to pull out all those images of Everton players surrounding the referee? I don’t want to but you are leaving me no choice.

Sabitzers corner is still rising.

You are.
If brighton had some cutting edge this game would have been over. Erik Ten Fraud outmanaged again
Undeserved ending there. March was great on the day. United were once again poor. City will run rings around them like normal.

I would say attendance is irrelevant anyway. It's the occasion. A trip to Wembley should be for the final. Semi finals should be played at one of Emirates Stadium, Spurs Stadium, Villa Park, Etihad Stadium or Anfield.

A few more with United's large London diaspora attending.

Just hand the cup to City, I feel a 8-0 trouncing coming
Struck a bit by how much United fans I've spoken to are more interested in stopping us winning, than winning the thing themselves.
Had a chat to a few yesterday, they're not confident at all. But I reckon its a genuine 50/50.
We haven't played well since we clinched the title and while we'll bring players back into the side I don't reckon its that easy to get straight back into a groove.
And some will have their minds on next week as well. I'm sure United players will be wanting to test their commitment to this game with some heavy tackles.
Can't wait.

Their fans seem obsessed with someone else not winning the treble.
Surprised this is the first Manchester derby final. Thought it would have happened at some stage.

I am sure every United supporter wants the club to win the FA Cup.
If it's the same ends does the motivation matter? If they want to stop the treble or want to win the Cup both require them to win the Cup.

Yep, everyone has their own motivation. City want to win the Cup because they want to win it and they want to beat Inter for their first CL title. United want to win the Cup because we want another trophy in our season. Inter want to win the CL because they don’t want to lose it and have to watch City celebrate.
If United lose the Cup, our supporters will revert to being Inter supporters. Not so much for the potential City treble but because we are rivals with City and don’t want them to win it and that would be the case if it is their first, second or third trophy of the campaign.
