I will take a look at this one. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 18:17, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
Background[edit]
- Link penalty shoot-out.
Route to the final[edit]
- Are the multiple links to various rivalry's needed? I notice this was in the last GA review but was not fixed.
- "before Paul Scholes was sent off himself for Manchester United." -> with Paul Scholes being sent off for Manchester United.
- "As per tradition, the semi-finals were played at neutral venues" No source to back this up.
- "when Phil Neville made a tired challenge on Ray Parlour inside the penalty area" The word "tired" can be dropped here.
- "Bergkamp stepped up to take the penalty, but Peter Schmeichel guessed the direction of his kick correctly and made the save." -> but Schmeichel saved Bergkamp's penalty to keep the scores level. Would read better.
- Might want to change the word "net" to "goal" just after Giggs scores.
Pre-match[edit]
- "Roy Keane and Paul Scholes were suspended for that match, so they were paired in central midfield" I'm assuming this is Manchester confirming their midfield lineup for the Champions League final. If so, it needs a supporting ref.
- I don't understand what you mean. I agree it probably needs a ref, but not for the reason you've mentioned. – PeeJay 11:37, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
- I'm asking weather the text is referring to Manchester's UCL final lineup. Guessing that since the pair weren't able to play in the cup final, they were assured a place in the team for the next game. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 12:07, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- @REDMAN 2019: Keane and Scholes were suspended for the UCL final, so they played in the FA Cup final. I added a source confirming that to be true. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 14:41, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Match[edit]
- "Meanwhile, Newcastle had made their game plan clear; tackles from" -> While violent tackles from. Shorter and sounds less like a journalists report.
- " but while Hamann was able to continue with a dead leg" this reads like it was Hamann who was on the receiving end of the tackle when he was the one committing it.
- Sheringham was brought on for Keane. I feel that this could do with some more info given that Ferguson was replacing a centre midfielder with a centre forward who would go on to score and be man of the match.
Post-match[edit]
- The [citation needed] tag needs to be got rid of.
Legacy[edit]
- Is this section nessercery? It comprises of one sentence and could easily be merged into either the lead of the "Post-match" section.
References[edit]
- Ref 5 needs a archive url as the page no longer exists at the website.
- Ref 8 and 10 have a similar problem and needs replacing.
General[edit]
- There are several instances of WP:SEAOFBLUE here, they should be sorted if possible.
Comments[edit]
The article needs a bit more clean-up and several references need replacing or archiving but I think that this can be brought to GA status once these matters have been dealt with. Putting on hold until those have been fixed. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 19:28, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
- Since you have limited contributions to the article, I suggest contacting PeeJay as he has done most of the work on the article this past year and he may be able to provide advice or assistance. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 19:32, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
- @REDMAN 2019: Okay. I will see what we can do together. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 00:45, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- The article is in better shape now and after the last issue with the pre-match team selection is sorted I will be happy to pass this. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 12:12, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- @KingSkyLord and PeeJay: I feel this now meets the GA criteria and am passing it accordingly. Congrats REDMAN 2019 (talk) 17:07, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
