FA Cup Final - Manchester City 6-0 Watford FC - 18/05/2019 Match Thread

Yes, it would require some kind of remarkable synergy between our players to win this.

 

Apparently the victory parade is booked for Sunday:

Odds of us winning in 90 minutes on Betfair is 16-1. That's usually a good indicator of what we're facing. It would take a miracle to win tomorrow but if they somehow miss all their chances and we score with our 1 chance then it's possible, just bl**dy unlikely. As I've said before, enjoy the occasion, (it would be much much worse losing to Palace for example), and anything else is a bonus.

 

Yep. I reckon 1 in 20 and offering 1 in 16 allows them a little bookmakers margin....

 

For me, & suspect quite a few on here, it would be more convenient to hold it on Saturday lunchtime. Ties in nicely with pre match beers & leaves Sunday free for the cricket.

 

The Council have done their bit.

 

Wigan were apparently 19-2 back in 2013.

 

Safe flight Luke.

 

Wow, so it isn't. You got me checking - I learn something every day. Still ova, though.

 

Not necessarily a miracle but something closely resembling a miracle in almost every way.

 

Yep - I've been told.

 

Marvellous

But that's just a gut feeling though, isn't it?

 

Too right, Sport.
I did read the first few: I especially liked the discussion on penis containing the phrase 'what's the point?' (And the contrived, elaborate crap).

 

This is why you should;

Nice to see quite a few different articles about us on the bbc sport page. I know it’s in their interests to hype it up as they’ll be showing the final, but it still brings home the magnitude of actually being in the cup final.

 

Isn't that downplaying a miracle?

If someone challenged you to change water into wine or bring a dead man back to life, you'd see it as more than a 16-1 shot.

 

Jose didn't seem too impressed.

I'm with the affable Greek guy.

 

PaddyPower got them at 12-1 m8. Water into Guinness 8-1.

 

What I mean is we don't necessarily need the intervention of a divine being to win the FA cup, although obviously it would be preferable. I dont believe in an interventionist God but if I did, I'd ask him to intervene as a one off on this particular occasion.

 

Decided we are going to win tomorrow. Lumped 100 on us to lift the trophy. Easy money.

 

Congratulations. Put more on. It's free money ffs.

 

I just bet my mortgage money this month on Watford to lift the cup. Not making the mistake I did in the semi, which was bet on Watford win, only to lose out because of the stupid 90 minute shenanigans.

We'll lift the cup, not sure how we'll do it, pens, extra time or just by obliterating City in the normal run of play, but we'll do it.

Has anyone spontaneously cum whilst bawling their eyes out in a stadium full of people before? What's the protocol for cleanup?

 

If I'm in Cassiobury Park on Sunday, then it would mean the impossible did actually happen.

It's ok to dream on the eve of the match. But what would it actually mean?

Well, I think it would propel Watford to the next level as a club. Not only would we have won a major trophy with all the glory that's associated with that in its own right, but we'll be in the season opener, at Wembley again for the Community Shield. If that's not enough, we'll be in the group stages of the Europa league.

This is all big boys stuff.

On the back of all this, I would expect Watford to not only retain players that could possibly move on, but would attract players who may not consider Watford as a viable option. We could well sign better players and keep those that are attractive to other clubs.

Basically, if we win tomorrow, all dreams come true, and Watford enter the arena of being a "big" club.....for next season at the very least.

 

Love this photo. The kids from Sacred Heart primary school. Fantastic stuff.

 

The term you are looking for is "cranking".

 

Wake up m8....you're 6 hrs 22 mins late for work as it is.

 

If we are to lose I would still like us either score first or equalise or something like that. As long as we get a proper celebration and a glimmer of hope during the game. Not 3 down at half time...

 

Or it could all go to **** and be the pinnacle of our history. I'd still take that in a heartbeat though. If the devil came to me tonight and said you'll win tomorrow but then spend 10 years in the lower leagues, I'd bite his horny arm off without hesitation.

 

Of course it's ok to dream.
Can you also advise what it would mean if we win the league next year and then the Champions League for the following 3 years ?

 

Bit miffed by that as I got 30/1 after our first game of the competition!

 

Not sure when betting came in to football but Sunderland must have been double figure odds I would think. None since

 

Yep, just look at what it did for Wigan.

A titan of world football these days.
