[JohnnyH]

Kovacic set to resume training tomorrow. Cunt. 

[JohnnyH]

I didn’t realise Chelsea had lost the last 2 FA Cup Finals?  I don’t like the vibe around that.

If only we weren't still living in the Middle Ages and the Enlightenment hadn't yet arrived. What possible potions and spells can we summon up to combat this most wretched of omens?

As this is the internet I shall simply reply with - fuck off. 

[niallers]

Is that kant cunte fit?

[Mook]

I think we should start with Michael Giles (ex King Crimson) up front.

 

None of their players will know who he is and they will shit their keks.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Chelsea should be kicked out of the FA cup for being a gangsters way into British society.

Ooh, so if it wasn't the internet...? How very, very frightening! What a brave fellow you must be. Don't worry about past results for Saturday - spin around ten times whilst reciting from the Old Testament. That should do it.

From LFC Twatter:

 

Jürgen Klopp has confirmed Fabinho will miss the #EmiratesFACup final but remains optimistic he could return before the end of the season

If it wasn’t the internet? I’d just laugh and say you’re right. But it’s the internet. So it’s abuse. 

[Anubis]

 

Can’t confirm the others but PGMOL do have Pawson as the ref.

[Scott_M]

I’d be tempted to start Salah, Diaz, Mane and Jota or Firmino tomorrow.

 

Go for the blitz early on and give them something to think about. 
 

Doubt it though, it’ll be Keita, Hendo & Thiago in midfield.

How the fuck have we reached a point where the majority of referees are absolute dogshit? Can't all be down to Mike Riley.

There's something fundamentally wrong with the way Premier League officials are selected (unless there are genetic reasons why women and non-white people are worse than the shower of shite we've already got).

Nothing like a Cup eve "fuck off" to send spirits a-soar.

It’s the social media version of shouting  ‘these are shite’ at the game

... or "you've just come from there" when Hendo does a left/right 5 yard pass sequence.

I do think Chelsea are the most likely winners, but I feel as though that portent will have been neutered by the fact their CL win reduced last season’s FA Cup final defeat to a mere trifle. Let’s face it, we’re in the same boat - no one is going to look back on a loss tomorrow as a crushing blow if ours is the team to finally end Real Madrid’s unbeaten streak in Champions League finals. 

 

With that said, I do worry about the amount of pressure defeat to Chelsea might heap on top of the players - from a potential quadruple to the cusp of only the Carabao?

[Shitty Arse]

I managed to get a ticket out of the blue for this so I’m fucking made up to be going. My FA Cup Final record is pretty good. Seen us win 4 and just the one loss to Wimbledon. 
Could go either way this although I was quietly confident before Fab got injured. If Kante is still out I’d fancy us to do them as they’ve been a bit inconsistent since we played them last time. 

[Special K]

We're going to win. Stop being fannies.

 

Gerrin to them Reds!!!!
