Jose, Butch, Prince William.... This match had it all (or most of it). The oldest and greatest association football cup competition in the world, 2018 edition. Worth a read. As always, I'll endeavour to address every comment as soon as I possibly can, and thanks in advance for your time and energy in reviewing. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face!

This nomination may be used in the WikiCup competition. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 13:07, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A few minor points I picked out from an initial run through. Kosack (talk) 07:54, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kosack initial points dealt with, many thanks. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 10:30, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Made two very minor fixes in addition, but I'm happy to support this. Nice work. Kosack (talk) 18:16, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Driveby comments for now: what's your source for the formation diagram? Indeed, the sources you've used seem to contradict it; thefa.com says Chelsea played 3-5-1-1 and 11v11.com lists Hazard as a midfielder (both of these seem more reasonable than Hazard playing right alongside Giroud). And surely the first sentence of the article (and of Background) can be rewritten to avoid "FA Cup" appearing thrice in quick succession?—indopug (talk) 16:13, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The source for the formation is in the Commons file. I've reworded both other issues. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 16:58, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If the FA website says Chelsea played 3-5-1-1, that's certainly a good reason to change the formation diagram, although since they don't have a graphical version of the team and the BBC does, I'm hesitant at this point. Do either of you have a preferred course of action? – PeeJay 18:43, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine as it is. I believe Hazard behind Giroud would be more accurate, but not easily justifiable (for the reasons you listed).—indopug (talk) 07:42, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Placeholder for now. I've got another FAC review on the docket before this one, but I should be on this one soon. I'm on quarantine, so I have way to much time on my hands. Might be claimed for the WikiCup. Hog Farm Bacon 18:36, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There's not much to pick on here, at least from my non-expert eyes, although it's possibly I missed something through ignorance. Hog Farm Bacon 22:20, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hog Farm thanks very much, I've addressed and/or responded to all your comments, I appreciate a non-expert view on it. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 08:17, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
