🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - 2025/2026 soon

[Agbe]

There is huge controversy in the FA Cup final, the officiating was very poor. The most obvious one was that Dean Henderson was not given a yellow card for hand ball foul (although I think it should be a red card). Their defense is equally trash, they are claiming that it wasn’t a goal scoring opportunity and that’s why the referee didn’t call the foul. Despicable.

I didn't watch the Emirates FA final between Crystal Palace and Manchester City because I was really occupied at the time the match was on, so I don't know whether Dean Henderson deserved a yellow card or a red card for his offense. If what Dean Henderson did is a clear foul and the referee refused to award a free kick to Manchester City just because it was not a goal-scoring opportunity, that means the referee wants Crystal Palace to win the Emirates FA Cup.

I don't see any reason why we should be blaming the referee in what can't be undone again let tell our selfs the truth the referee performance in this game was fair as he tried his best in making sure that the right decisions where given you don't expect every decision to go your way a penalty was awarded to city which they missed the truth is that palace are now winners of the fa cup this year

In fact we are seeing a lot of controversy surrounding the FA Cup final match because Dean Henderson and Pep Guardiola exchanged very heated words between themselves. Since then it has become apparent that the struggling Manchester City manager has been facing a range of criticisms. Manchester City played the better football in that match, but Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson became much more focused and aggressive.I think his contribution to this match was too much, which Manchester City couldn't accept easily, which is why they got involved in various controversies.

The only controversy is the game was that wrong call from the ref, maybe he didn't see it but that's why there are other officials there to help him in moments like this. Yeah, that's a mistake from the part of the ref for not sending him off but it didn't happen so let's just accept that error from the ref. Manchester City had a lot of other time time to score a goal and even add more to win the game but they couldn't, they even had a penalty in the 30+ minutes and they still failed to convert. Henderson was excellent in the match, it was never his that he wasn't sent off so I still wonder why Pep had to go and meet him and started saying whatever he said to him.

This is funny. How do you think that the free kick that was denied to Manchester City by the referee, is done on purpose for Crystal Palace to win. The whole 90 minutes, Manchester City didn't score a single goal with the opportunities they had, it was the free kick that was denied is the reason why they didn't win, and Crystal Palace had to win them because of that. That sounds amusing, to think the referee was partial in the match.

In top matches, it's really hard for referee to rig it to a team favor without VAR official's having a corrected on his stance on the match. However, disbuke the notion that match was rigged in favor of Crystal Palace

One thing about games like this is that it's not about your past record, if you can't take advantage of the moment and give it all in a crucial finals as this, your fate is going to be like that of every other big teams that threw away Thier opportunities because they underrated their opponents. Crystal palace hasn't been bad this season but to think that they can get a winner over man city In a crucial finals is what I never saw coming.

We've literally seen it all this season with a lot of unpredictable results eventually playing out. Liverpool losing out in a finals because they understand Thier opponent, arsenal knocking out real Madrid and then crystal palace succeeding in making sure that Manchester city will end the season trophyless. A great achievement for crystal palace 🏆

You are very correct, it doesn’t really matter about your past glory if that was all there wouldn’t be any reason to be playing and competing every season. The reason for the competition is to evaluate and reward clubs for their current performances and hardwork so any season a club fails to perform well they also fail to win trophies no matter the league. Manchester City struggled this season Ana as a result they couldn’t win any trophy.

Manchester City even tried their best to make it to the Emirates FA Cup final. After what Manchester City passed through this season, it would have been better for them to win the Emirates FA Cup and use the trophy to compensate their fans for their poor performance this season. I don't even think it was because of Manchester City's poor performance this season made them lose the Emirates FA Cup to Crystal Palace, because Manchester City thrashed Crystal Palace 4-2 in the Premier League before they played the Emirates FA Cup final. Maybe this season God just wants smaller clubs to win trophies because Bologna also defeated AC Milan to win the Italian Cup.
