Been quite a few Forest fans on Twitter saying they’d prefer CL football over the FA cup. Bizarre way of thinking 

Have genuinely met Spurs fans who have said they prefer top 4 to silverware.

 

I mean there was a hint of a tear in each of each of their eyes when they said it but they’ve definitely been gaslit into being happy about not achieving anything.

Winning the FA Cup isn't for everyone.

They can't speak on what they don't know

And how the **** would they know?

 

Isn't one of their slogans 'the game is about glory' too?

BBC's headline reads "Man City beat luckless Forest"

 

Forest had one shot on target ffs.

The arrogance to think they're nailed on for the UCL given how tight the table is. Let's hope fate is well and truly tempted to dash their hopes.

You're surprised by Forest fans being arrogant?

This is the sort of thing you tell yourself when you don't win a trophy. If they wangle the Europa League no doubt the tune will change

There are a few Forest fans in high positions at both BBC Sport and Sky Sports. 
 

I thought it was odd how it was painted that Forest deserved more and lacked luck etc. 

 

The times they hit the woodwork were not exactly sustained attacks or deserved chances.

 

City just kept giving the ball away.

 

Overall Forest were comprehensively outplayed and deserved to lose the game.

Saying Forest lacked luck after their past three years. 😂😂😂😂

Good job Forest aren’t in the final then .

Still no kick off time set. Match is in 15 days. Disgraceful, especially with the surge and dynamic pricing coming for hotels, trains etc.

Apparently the BBC and ITV cannot agree on a time .

As the Beeb want it at 3 but ITV prefer 5.30.

[Soar Fox]

Why are the Fa even letting the tv companies decide on what time the kick off is. It should be set in stone at the start of the season by the Fa. 
 

3pm on a Saturday the week after the season has finished. 

[Super_horns]

4.30 has been agreed.

 

Some common ground

Yes surely for the neutrals, why would you not want a club who have never won a major trophy to lose to the petrolstate bores? 

[steveherbe]

Hope Man City win. Want them to "Take it to the limit" and smash the Eagles. Hopefully they'll be "Aleady Gone" by halftime, don't "Take it Easy" Citeh. Thank you!!

Now that we have won it, it is much easier to back clubs like Palace. Wigan winning it was great but it was also another, and smaller, club getting there before us.

 

Palace have also been great to watch.

[SkidsFox]

On balance I'd like to see the Petrostate bores lose.  But finding it hard to get much joy out of seeing Palace win - I currently work at a place in Croydon, and have yet to meet a Palace fan, they're all Spurs/Liverpool/Man U fans. Part of this is because many are contractors travelling in, but the impression is the place is full of glory-hunters.
