looks like it'll be the anti-football final nobody wanted.
Be refreshing to see different teams in the final for a change, and a great day out for the fans of Stoke or Bolton. But if Stoke hold on to it, think they'll be tougher oppossition for City-after all they held Chelsea to a 1-1.
Edit-sounds like game over. Stoke 3 Bolton 0. Talk about a slaughter. Bolton have made some crazy mistakes. But credit to Stoke. They're definately not "anti-football" today. Impressive. Wow, Bolton fans leaving already. Some fans they are

Some nifty passing and moving by Stoke. If I was Man City, I'd be wary. Man City are loaded with talent, but as we all know, they can be very complacent at times, and don't always respect the oppossition. Or just can't be bothered sometimes.
Seeing as the Arsenal thread is closed, I would like to add something...
To Arsenal fans moaning over the 4 extra minutes.
Extra minute added on for the RVP penalty and celebration, at LEAST, bringing it to about 99 minutes, at which time Liverpool get a free kick on the edge of the area, where he is not going to blow the whistle. After like a minute of hassle sorting out the wall it brings it to about 100 minutes on the clock. Now Wenger said that the whistle should have been blown straight after that, but you cannot blow it whilst they have the ball in the opposition box where Eboue takes down Lucas for the penalty. After a minute of complaining it reaches 102 minutes or whatever and they score.
Its called a minimum, and I'm sure you would not have been complaining if you were still chasing the game, you want the game to drag on until you score, and then end straight away. Don't work like that
/Rant over.

Ahaha, what're you on about? The game was finished by 102 minutes, no idea what you're on about 109 and 112 minutes! There certainly weren't 22 minutes of injury time!
Pretty disrespectful to Stoke city and their fans after the way they played today. If you want anti-football, look at the way Man City have played during the season. Stoke were anything but. Slick passing, good movement....yeah Bolton did some shocking mistakes, but Stoke played well, and Etherington played well, as did Jones. So before people start slagging off Stoke before the Finals even been played, give them a frickin chance will you. They earned the right to be in the final against City, by doing what all football teams do. Playing to their strengths. Except today, Stoke showed they have the ability to shake things up a bit. Disregard them at your peril
I'd rather see some different teams than the same 3 or 4 each year, makes it more exciting and it's good that smaller teams get a crack at winning some silverware every so often. City will be hot favourites but I really could see Stoke springing an upset. If any team can cope with Stoke's physicality it should be City.
Thats's what Chelsea probably thought too, but ended up drawing 1-1 with Stoke. Also depends if City have any more injuries too, and wether or not they actually play together.

And check out Stokes 4th goal by Walters. Top drawer finish by the lad.
