It would be nice, I'm thinking, to see Man City knocked back a peg or two...

And I'd love to think I'm watching something special, a great occasion at the Home of Football… Please do something different from what you normally would do in a Premier League game!!!

More faded teal than sky blue!

Oh, that's better!

Cagey affair so far, but great creation of space and first time delivery from De Bruyne to almost put Haaland on the score sheet

Brilliant break, unbelievable first-time strike!

But Palace have taken the lead in each of their previous FA Cup Finals....

Oh, hold on, Palace have just fucking scored!! Unerring accuracy. I've taken MK's job. Against the run of play. The crowd go wild. Jumpers for goalposts.

Do it for the Palace Cheerleaders!

John Bailey's mum and family on the train.

Still should have been called back? Or not because there was no goal or penalty claim?

Handball outside the box by a keeper is an offence and sending off? Apparently the decision was the ball was travelling away from goal.

Very poor decision.

It wasn't live on TV so I had to find a bar near the airport with a satellite dish. A couple hundred Man Utd fans and me.

Absolutely fantastic anticipation to save a very strong penalty kick.

I was not long off crutches. My dad trying to scale the fence to get on the pitch at the end. Me thinking if he succeeds, how am I getting home?

When I watch the footage, I can see him. The police physically knocked him back from the top of the fence.

Shearer speculating that Pickford's England spot may be under threat!

Just because the player gets a touch on the ball doesn't mean it can't be a foul? Or has it changed?

Silva dives as contact is made after the ball is touched… no foul.

How did VAR fail to see the contact by Mitchell?

VAR (ie, the operation of) is shite.

Sometimes it can't be helped when you are playing a team with ten men behind the ball which is Palaces game plan and entitled to play like that and might win them the game but it is still very hard to combat — so City are moving the ball about while trying to find a way to break down that defence and they haven't been too bad at it but Palace's last man is MotM up to now.

More goals in this game… not necessarily by City because they are still very fragile in defence and Palace are good on the break aways.

Dave, there was a stretch during this season when our results were better the less possession we had!

Keeper should have been sent off. VAR is shite. Still, glad he wasn't and game is still alive

The USA has major problems in central defense and seeing this guy finally develop is a good sign.

Every time he sits down he gets it nonstop

I thought Palace deserved to keep that… but apparently that's not the way it works!

The definitive quintessential corner was delivered by Andy Hinchcliffe, head-height but hard to the near post, with Matt Jackson glancing it in.

I find it mind numbing to watch.

Has PGMOL finally seen sense (after the Aywioni injury) and changed the instructions to linesmen?

They lost a World class holding midfielder and it shows every time opposition teams counter attack. City have lost a lot of points in so many games since Rodri got injured.

Regarding the penalty miss why did they allow Mahmoush to take it. He looked a very poor player up to that point.

Having said all that, City just do too much passing that many teams now just get everyone behind the ball and do exactly what Palace did: Dare.

Boring, Pep tika-taka shite found out. I'm made up for Palace and their fans.

Sean Dyche would be proud.

Anyone can win a trophy if you believe you can, have a plan and give 100%.

Good for Palace.

Take your beating, Pep!

I hope they miss out on Champions League as well.

Now, they are just boring with no imagination. Congratulations to Palace.

Great win for Palace though, they have had a good season.

Either Spurs or Man Utd will have a better season than Arsenal or Man City!

Sometimes KITAP1 works against the big boys. Assume no one is going to knock Glasner for that, and parking the bus.

Got lucky with the handball.

They defended resolutely in that second half, barely giving Man City a sniff. As has been said, City were trying to find the perfect goal with pass, pass, pass, instead of either lofting the ball into the area, or, a bit like us last week, if you don't shoot you don't score. Haaland didn't get a look in the whole game, his only chance coming early on in the game.

Football is all about attack and defence, City's attack was garbage whilst the Palace defence was superb. So yes, Palace did deserve to win.

I think he thinks they're taking the piss out of him!

So, when is It our turn? 30 years without a pot needs to be addressed ASAP.

The state of officiating in this country is a joke. "Going away from goal"? What a load of shit.

Looks like they didn't want City to win it.

What next?

I never thought I'd see Newcastle Utd or Crystal Palace win a trophy before we did. If someone had told me that about 10 years ago, I wouldn't have believed it.

It's high time this club joined the party and gave the new generation of Evertonians something to be proud of.

Middlesbrough
Wigan
Birmingham
Blackburn
Tottenham
Crystal Palace
Leicester
Swansea
Portsmouth
Aston Villa
Newcastle
West Ham

Many clubs have disappeared into the abyss but, at the end of the day, a trophy success will forever be etched into their history books.

I find it mind-boggling that a club the size of Everton has been to only one Cup Final of any sort since 1995, that being of course the 2009 loss to Chelsea.

Absolutely mind-boggling.

Dougie Freedman should also get a medal.

'Citeh are done now, I believe their era is over'.

You couldn't be more wrong Mr Shears.

What does 'only one of the 92' mean?

Sadly, we have become a very nondescript club.

I get that many puff chests out in pride of this long unbroken top flight run without relegation. But for me, it should be about more than that now.

Everton Football Club shouldn't be going 30 years with just one Cup Final appearance, such is the past history, the fervent fanbase that follows it, craves such big occasions.

We've well and truly been starved of excitement over the last two decades and, sooner rather than later, that must change… it simply has to before we become even less relevant.

He's saying each team, except Everton, has won a trophy or been promoted (or both?) in that time.

Where is AI when you need it?

But I suspect you're asking because you have a rebuttal prepared.

Seems an awful lot, 47 clubs have been promoted from the National league, or whatever it's been called down the years.

While having much less possession might get better results, it is just as boring to watch as the team who are creating many chances but being thwarted by good goalkeeping.

Foden is going through a bad spell and he was a passenger when he came on. City miss Rodri a great deal, but I think they also miss the attacking play of Kyle-Walker –
they certainly missed both of them today – but I don't think we have seen the last of City.

By the way ,Andrew, how many of this 92 however assembled have never been relegated since 1995?

Whatever the source or what it covers, can you give us the source for that stat, Andrew, please. If true, it's a gooden.

I don't have a grudge against Manchester City, but I think it is good for football that Palace demonstrated that you can win trophies if you believe.

I always will. Wait until the summer when I'm predicting us winning that bleeding League Cup that plays havoc with me as we've never won it. And qualifying for Europe, either through that, or both.

I do that every year though!!

I mean how sad must you be to spin a positive as a negative.

Oh... since the Premier League was formed.

I'm merely speculating BTW if Sherrif Steve is on patrol.
