What a chance! For Manchester United though as Michael Carrick, of all people, pops up eight yards from goal and heads Jesse Lingard's cross wide.

Risk and reward. reward and risk. Do the Palace players go for broke? Or take penalties? You've got to try and ram this one-man advantage home haven't you? Better to have loved and lost. Or something.

"Dwight Gayle has to hit that first time, and he has to score. His extra touch with the left foot killed it. And Bolasie's got cramp now."

Palace corner, cleared. Jesse Lingard sprints away and James McArthur pulls him back. Booked. 

Lingard should get a yellow too for that video on his phone.

"It might just work in Manchester United's favour, that sending off, because Palace will come out and play now."

Palace may never have a better chance to win the FA Cup and Wilfried Zaha is instantly at the United back four. He finds sub Dwight Gayle running into the box, he can't get it out of his feet and his effort is kicked clear by David de Gea!

"I think Crystal Palace have got a great opportunity to win the FA Cup. Change your game slightly and go for it - if they don't and it goes to penalties then they might regret it."

Here we go then. We are 15 minutes away from penalties. Palace have a man over. Time to go for broke? 

Deckard: Someone tell Martial that we're still playing.

srollo: Silly boy Smalling. Was it really worth it?

Hayder K: Palace have 15 minutes to make the man advantage count. Chance to get revenge for 26 years ago!  

Pablo Zabaleta, Jose Antonio Reyes and Kevin Moran.

If you were wondering.

"In the end it's almost a rugby tackle from Chris Smalling. He knows you can't get away with that. It looks like Michael Carrick will go into the back four."

So Palace have a man extra for the final 15 minutes. Will it prove decisive?

"Sometimes you just have to wonder, what goes through your head as a player? Chris Smalling had players behind the ball, there was a chance of a counter attack, a small one, and he hauls his man down. Absolutely crazy. What goes through your head?"

Chris Smalling becomes a pub quiz question - he's the fourth man to be sent off in an FA Cup final.

And it's definitely my favourite one. Palace clear their lines, Yannick Bolasie rolls away from Smalling - 80 yards from the United goal - but Smalling elects to rugby tackle him and pick up a second booking. 

Wayne Rooney into the area, Mile Jedinak across and strong to shield him out. Well played. But Rooney not happy.

"That's a great save from David de Gea, he did well to react because you might not have anticipated a shot from there - Bolasie can be so unpredictable."

The highlight of this season's entire FA Cup?

You'll either love this or hate it...

Lovely effort! Daley Blind heads a free-kick clear, Yannick Bolasie meets it with a meaty volley and David de Gea has to be elastic to get down and make the one-handed stop! 

That is a booking though, for Marouane Fellaini. What for? You'll never guess.

ELBOW. 

Will Proudfoot: Not been the biggest Rooney fan recently, but he surely has to start in midfield for England. He's been excellent!
