Palace away
make sure you get those tickets for Selhurst mate.

Yeah, not thinking was I! Deleted my comment but not before you had spotted it!
HAHA, all good dude, I've done it many times myself.

We've conceded 13 goals against Palace in under a year. Very tough game.

I would have much preferred the winner against the later match.

Richards trying to make the case that C115y should win it to right their poor season.  He really is a twat.

Man City should be removed from the Cup as part of their FFP cheating punishment. They've dishonoured the competition for nearly 20 years with their bogus accounting allowing them an unfair advantage building squads.
 
Villa Forest final would be brilliant.

Doesn’t really matter who we get now. Well done to the lads for getting us here.

People in the match thread crying about potentially having to face Palace.

Imagine saying in August we'd potentially get Palace in FA Cup SF. People would've ripped your arms off and now there's no way Emery could come up with any gameplan to beat them?!

At least we wouldn't change our formation to match them as that obviously didn't work down there.

Hmmm… wasn’t it 1-1 with that formation, then 3-0 when we changed to a flat back four?

Not sure if we changed at half-time or after we scored.

The good news is that if we take Selhurst Park and our atrocious record their out of the equation they've only actually beat us 2 times in over 30 years. This is at Wembley. We have a decent record their and we have a brilliant record in penalty shootouts and the worlds number 1 shootout specialist in goal.

Palace are alright, lets not underestimate them but neither should we over egg them because were shit at Selhurst. We will be favourites for this, we have the better players and better manager and we will do this.

Villa to beat Forest in the final. Watkins winner. One of the best days of our lives.

I m ok with CP at Wembley. NF or MC would not have been better IMO. Will really have to be at our very best to beat them of course but same would been necessary against NF or MC.

The match will be on 26th or 27th April. Typical, I'm at the Crucible for the snooker that weekend.

We really owe Palace after that fiasco at their place. I really fancy us against them.

We are meant to play Man City that weekend so that will be moved. Our April is very, very congested.

Edit: that game is Monday 28th but it will be rescheduled

Of course but the way the schedules have worked where we barely played in March could have been planned better.
