Obviously hope not.
I truely believe if we play the same as we did we don't stand a chance. It was nice to get an neutral, Arsenal fan's view on the game and I actually saw it the very same way. I was disappointed how we set out our stall, be it forced by injury or not. I was also shouting at the TV when Tevez and SWP were taken off and I think we got away with all of the above, rather than got it tactically perfect. I said it before, if it was a league derby, I'd be saying Mancini got it bang on because we won, but in this case, with us playing at home first, I was hoping we would really get at them from the start and take at least a 2 goal advantage to OT.
I;m not going to say I have a bad feeling about it, but I hope if he insists on the same team and tactics, that we go for the early goal instead of waiting for them to score.
Fuck sake, my nerves are already at me... they weren't until kick off yesterday, but this is the big one!

For the 1st time since fuck knows when, City have reached a semi final. Not only that, we have reached half time with a one goal advantage. Not only that, we did so with a patched and cobbled up team...not only that, we can now strengthen our team in readiness for the 2nd half.
Instead of celebrating the fact that we have gone further in this competition than we have for years, you are manufacturing fear for yourselves. Some of you have some serious life issues that you need help with.
Should you be posting on here....or the fucking SAMARITANS????

I fully understand those pains of failure Mate...We slightly older ones experienced them too.
My point is that relegation, fighting for survival and losing almost every game is for worry and pain.
The semi final of the Carling Cup and the opportunity to knock out our neighbours is cause for excitment and celebration.
Instead of wondering how bad it might be to lose...you are free to dream how good it is to WIN.

Looking at it from a rag perspective makes you realise that it is they who have the problem.
They are a goal down so therefore must score.
They have an away goal advantage that comes into play after extra time, so they MUST stop us scoring.
They have to attack to score...and that will open the game out for Bellers and Tevez.
They have to close the game down, which will inhibit their attacking.
They can't afford to play an open game because as the scores go up, so City's chances increase.
Psychologically, we hold many aces. Taggart knows we can open his defence...5 goals in 2 games. He also knows that we have the courage to fight back...in both derbies.
He knows that his full back can't control Bellers and he knows he has Tevez desperate to beat him.
He has already played his best players unsuccessfully against our patched up side and he knows he will be facing a stronger City at the swamp.
He will be aware that City are on the verge of overtaking his team...on his watch...and he dare not lose.
Mates, TAGGART IS THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEMS.

IF TAGGART AND HIS RAGS ARE THE ONES WITH THE PROBLEMS....JUST FOR A CHANGE....LET THOSE BASTARDS WORRY.
