I think we need to keep it tight don’t give them any early chances

Also I think from a tactical point of view McGrath should be outwide his crossing ability could really make a difference

Bugsy could be a big miss.

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Greggy Downs really needs to stay tight to Waddle especially early on.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Got to fancy a Houchen goal. He loves a cup goal.

It's a shame I'm out, but got Faith in the lads to do the unthinkable....PUSB......go for it, go for it city.....

Benno will love the wide space at Wembley I think he’ll have a good game

 

[Speedies_Chips]

I'm looking forward to it. I've got my video recorder set so I can watch it again when I get back.

Betamax or VHS?

Just popped into Woolworths to get me pick and mix , it’s very quiet

As long as we avoid going behind early in the game, we've got a chance. Concede early and I'm afraid I can only see a collapse.
Oh well, it's been a great run.

More money to Micks retirement fund .

So long as he hasn't been on the beer !

 

[Mcbean]

Bloody hell Spurs have some team gonna take some doing to turn over this bunch !

 

[usskyblue]

We’re fucked if we concede early

 

[Covkid1968#]

If and it’s a big if... we were to win.... I don’t care if it’s in extra time and comes via an unlikely own goal that loops over their keeper.

Actually.... forget that..I’m talking shit....just checked and it’s only Ray fecking Clemence in goal for them.

CT playing on this as well. How well can you do with 10 questions about the '87 Cup Run....

Really nervous today before the 5pm kickoff.

Hope we win but we done for if they score an early goal or a goal just before half time.

Can’t concentrate so to calm my nerves I hanged my FA cup final scarf out of my window.

Remember the days of a 3pm Cup Final KO?

 

[Sky Blue Dal]

Remember the days of a 3pm Cup Final KO?

Why did they need to change it?

Remember being on both BBC1 and ITV. Loved channel flicking between the two.

The FA Cup final was our own Super Bowl. How I miss all this.

It was a real showpiece occasion back in the day , it’s disgraceful

 

[skybluesam66]

I remember one of the morning papers tipping spurs to beat us 5-0

It sure was!
A shame we could not hold on to the tradition like the NFL have with their sport.

We sold out.

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

We are 2 nil up against Derby at the moment

 

[Sky Blue Dal]

Greavsie agreed... thank god!!! We have a chance.

 

[rob9872]

Looking forward to seeing Tarbuck Davis and Moore turning out for City.

 

[Paul Anthony]

For once, I'm actually feeling pretty confident about a City game. Spurs may have an awesome record in Cup finals, but it always suits us to be the underdog!

 

[skybluesam66]

as long as we dont get distracted by swapping the penants on the coin toss

This team don't seem to worry if they go a goal down. So in the unlikely event that they do concede, I'm not giving up. "Score in a minute....We're gonna score in a minute."

I'm went to the man utd game the sheff wed game upstairs in the leppings lane end and the Leeds semi in the end opposite which I'm sure was standing? I obviously went to the final but the best game for me was the semi and the realisation we'd made it to Wembley.
Today's ccfc bears no resemblance of the ccfc I grew up with sadly.
