@UtdFaithfuls “I’ve waited 70 years for this moment. 70 years, and I thought it would never happen. I thought I’d die before it happened.” Fair play to Crystal Palace and their fans. This is football.

❤️@Kat_Tyusha I know Man City fans/players are going to cry that they got “robbed” in the final. But Man City can only blame themselves for losing.They got a penalty, a Crystal Palace goal disallowed, numerous amount of chances to score and a whopping 10+ minutes of extra time and still lost.

@sportingecletic Who cares about Haaland, mate, Crystal Palace have won their first trophy in 124 years of its existence. And they have such a pool of good young talents
