"Wigan or man city ??? Being a wigan lad I'm going for a shock were going down but wigan to lift the cup . I believe . "
Thirty years ago.....1982-83 season Brighton lost their only FA Cup final after a replay and were relegated from the First Division as it was known then.
I think history will repeat itself. As far as I know no other team has appeared in the Cup final and relegated in the same season. |

Didn't Middlesbrough reach both cup finals and were relegated in the same season? 97 maybe?? |

That's correct, it was against the better side of Manchester, UTD!!

"Def a Man City victory.
I'd be more worried about the relegation battle though.. Away to Arsenal and a home game against a resurgent Aston Villa!
"
Citeh win and could be a big win!

"birmingham won the league cup and got relegated not so long back, but middlesbrough have never been in two cup finals in the same season."
Middlesbrough were beaten by Leicester City in the League cup and Chelsea in the FA cup in 1997.
As for the OP, heart says Wigan but the head says City. But we do love to see a good cup shock. Heres hoping for Wigan 2-1 City |

Seems they were.....I stand corrected.
That was some feat to lose both cup finals and to be relegated. |

I actually don't mind whom wins this final, but I'll pick Wigan for 2 reasons, first it's always good fun to see the underdog win unless they are playing your team and secondly If Roberto Martinez wins the cup and then becomes Everton manager, it might be the only trophy he wins for years....
Prediction though is City to win 2 - 0
Does anyone know if Wigan have sold out their allocation, or will this be the first cup final with empty seats? |

If my memories right Norwich and Sunderland were both relegated in the same season after playing each other in the League Cup Final, I think Norwich won it and were therefore the only team to win a cup final and go down in the same season. |

difficult for joe to be sent off as Costel Pantilimon will likely be in goal as he has been through out the cup run.. |

I just wish the FA cup had the gravitas as it used to have. When it was the last match of the footy season and and a 3pm kick off. With so much talk of religations and promotions at the moment the FA cup doesn't feel the same these days. I'd like to see Wigan win and see then them religated by Villa next week. |

When will they ever lean……
Once again they draft in some out of touch warbling artisans to lead the communal singing of Abide with Me and the National anthem in manner that no-one in the crowd can follow or keep time with….

Was at Wembley in the Wigan end with one of my best mates and his Dad who played in goal for the Latics about 50 years ago, fantastic. "You put your left leg in, left leg out, in out in out shake it all about, you do the Shaun Maloney and turn around, that's what it's all about!" |
