🏆 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.

There is a good chance some of the teams will have to rest players because Premier League matches are played today and in next two days.
32 matches will be played and this is the time for lower league clubs to shine and surprise someone, and my support goes to EFL Championship clubs.

A lot of matches to be played in the Cup today, well today most of the premier league side will be playing and as always I think A lot of them will advance to the next round of the tournament, we saw Nottingham forest exit the tournament yesterday after being defeated in the penalty shootout.

Manchester city have a very easy fixture, they now get a chance to get back on track after that poor run of games In the league.

Chelsea will play late in the evening, well it will be the new coach first game so I think it should be a win for them as they are always amongst favorites to win the tournament every year.

Wolves and crystal palace are the premier league side to start the day in this tournament so I think it should be a win for both side.

Nottingham forest has been sent home by a championship team, Wrexham. Wrexham were determined to win and they scored two goals before Nottingham forest could respond with one, they added another one to make it three. Nottingham forest tried to score two more goals before full-time to level the score line 3:3 and the game went on to extra time and finally to penalties after no side could score another goal. Wrexham won on penalties which means Nottingham forest is out of the competition.

I didn't believe that Nottingham Forest would give up against championship team. It was totally unbelievable that Nottingham forest couldn't make it to the next round, what a poor performance from them. Yea, there's still a lot of surprises to witness today because FA cup it's a game that nobody knows what is going to happen in the next minute as the underdog teams normally try as much as possible to knock out the big teams.

However, I think I would start my prediction with Everton against Sunderland because they are premier league teams that has been performing well, so I decided to try my luck on them as 90 minutes draw.

Doin' a small parlay here. I'm expecting City to win. Even if they will perform with their 2nd squad, i still expect them to make it a one sided game. Mukasa as striker, Doku at left, and Aidoo at right. I think that's enogh to beat Exeter city with pretty good margin. However, since a direct bet on city offer nothing. I put it under 5.5 goals.

I believe they will win the game with cleansheet + up to 3 goals.

As for Fulham, they're gonna face difficulty to beat Middlesbrough, which is sitting at the 2nd at championship. Nevertheless, i see pretty big gap between Fulham players compared to the Middlesbrough. So i think a direct bet is fine.

If they lose to Middlesbrough, it seems me is getting cursed.

Unpredictable Nottingham Forest eliminating by Wrexham as the Championship teams, Nottingham Forest actually playing well dominance the games but easily conceded two goals at the first half match before making draw 3-3 and continue penalty kick. Almost every season always has the championship teams success eliminating the Premier League teams and its time Wrexham success qualifying to next round.
The games Everton vs Sunderland have begin and both teams make huge rotation by giving opportunity to second composition teams, I think Everton has bigger for winning the match than Sunderland.

Macclesfield 1-0 Crystal Palace at half time.

If Macclesfield can hold on, this would be the biggest upset in FA Cup history. Hopefully they can hold firm but Crystal Palace will throw everything at them in the second half. There is a reason they are the current holders.

            Everton 0-1 Sunderland

Sunderland is on it again in the FA cup, they are already on the lead with one goal from Le fee on the 30th minutes. The goals was a fantastic shot with went to the far corner of the bar. The visitors are looking very dangerous in this match.

On the other hand, Everton the host are on pressure to see how they can get themselves back into the game with an equalizer. The game is on the 68th minutes and the scoreline is still 0-1.

It's now 2:0 now even, the amateur league team of national league North is currently winning the premier league team and not just that, they are the FA cup defending champions. This is how crystal palace has decided to exit the competition, not in the hands of a fellow premier league team or even a championship team but to amateur league team. Football is very unpredictable

The game ended 2-1. Macclesfield didn't believe what happened today, it was like a magic in their eyes to kick out the defending champions from the competition. Look at how they rushed into the field jubilating as if they have already won the competition. However, I can understand the joy in their heart to see that they were able to qualify to the next stage.

I had the misfortune of watching this game. I say misfortune because I bet on Crystal Palace to win, and since I have a habit of watching the games I bet on, I watched this Crystal Palace game, and all I saw was a Premier League team being humiliated by a lower division team. It seemed like Macclesfield was the Premier League team and Crystal Palace was the lower division team.

The Crystal Palace players played without motivation; they didn't put in the effort and made childish mistakes in defense, while Macclesfield played very well. Crystal Palace lost, conceding two goals and only managing to score one. I don't know if the Crystal Palace coach will remain in his position after this game.

The game is definitely shocking to all. Come to think of it, Crystal Palace hasn't been doing well since around December, but this still isn't an excuse even if they made some changes in their squad, they league difference is huge and we are referring to title defenders.

A wonderful win from the underdogs, I wonder who wagered on something favorably on them

Macclesfield really slap palace in the face. Losing to the non league club has to be a historic embarassment for Palace. They still using decent numbers of players from the first team, yet get outplayed by a team that came from nowhere. At this point Glasner deserves the sack. This moment seems a magical for me when giant gets killed.

It's one of worst result in the club's history. Glasner and his team must be truly ashamed with the result. When Glasner out?

This was an unexpected result. They lost it on a penalty shootout. Crystal Palace too lost against National League team Macclesfield FC. Fulham is currently 1-0 down against Middlesbrough, even though there's plenty of time left, Middlesbrough seems to be dominating the game. This just shows how close the lower teams of Premier League are close to other league teams while the top Premier League teams are generally non defeatable.
