Palace out in the quarters please.
There's only one way a Wembley game against them ends.

We have beaten Bournemouth twice already this season. No reason to fear them.

For me, Villa out as I see them as the favourites although their league position suggests differently but they've hit some form now. Bournemouth the best side we've faced at Amex in my opinion but City will still be favourites to win there. Palace can do 1 for obvious reasons

I don't necessarily agree, but I suspect the despair of losing that game would far outweigh the joy of winning it.
I'm not prepared to test my assumption.

We’ve already done the double over Bournemouth, and their form is among the worst in the league.
They lost at home to Wolves because they had a man sent off. They lost at Brighton because we played the best we've played all season and sneaked past them. They drew at Spurs because they were miles better, 2-0 up, and as we know very well ourselves sometimes these things happen. That only leaves their loss at home to Brentford who are pretty decent themselves.
And form is temporary, and we know full well what Bournemouth are capable of.

It would be a complete nightmare. I suspect it would put quite a few people off going.
The FA Cup Final, at Wembley, against THEM.
As horrendous as it COULD be, we'd all HAVE to be there, surely?
The chance to see the greatest triumph in our club's history, made ten times sweeter by beating THEM.
That would be utterly pathetic.

A bloke in Sweden whose never been to an English game in his life calling people pathetic for not wanting to go an imaginary fixture that will probably never happen.
Textbook Internet.
It has history written all over it. Obviously in the grand picture of the rivalry bragging rights -if we get it that's payback for the playoff - , but for me, my one nephew (who will be joining me at the forest game) is a Brighton fan, and the other one, his older brother is a palace fan (can't blame him supporting his local team ... Millwall is closer, but I wouldn't wish that on him), so a final should cause a family bragging rights for the ages.
I'd say the same thing offline.
Opting out of watching a final because its against a rival = pathetic. No other way to put it.

It was a light-hearted jibe at the dynamics in play here but anyway.
What's the worst loss in recent memory? I don't mean Forest 7-0 or whatever. That was bad but it didn't REALLY matter.
Losing to Palace in the play off semi was really bad. Losing to Utd in the cup was really bad. Palace though, was worse because it was Palace. The thought of hearing Glad all f***ing over if we lose to Palace at Wembley is something I'd rather avoid at all costs.
I want City in the final.
Beatable and no disgrace should we lose.
I’d be gutted to lose to any of the others.
