***Official Man City v Aston Villa Match Thread***

Wabara had his debut yet? Liked that bloke who was on a few weeks ago, think it was razak (who now is gonna be sent home it appears..).

[guv111]

It's cup time, and so it's Vieira time! Is everyone else injured?

Tonight could be all about Silva and Balotelli. If Silva wants to push on and make the goal a port of call we could be in for a good night, and if Mario fancies it we could be irresistible. If, if, if... Not seeing much excitement elsewhere, though.

This is a golden opportunity. I don't understand the line up at all. The Wigan game is more important? Not in my opinion.

I'd take 4th over FA cup any day of the week:-) More important for us to get into the CL than win one trophy IMO, rather have many down the line than one quick one now.

This team would be better *against* Wigan, surely? Well, whatever happens, millions will see the outcome.

[Fesan]

Lescott starting instead of Kolo apparently...


*edit*

Fortunately for us it seems that Houllier is prefering the Premiership to the Cup aswell... 8 changes since last game with Young on the bench.

[blues2win]

Sorry I mistyped. I meant Zabaleta at left back and yes Kolarov will be left midfield. As I said the key thing is that Balotelli gets lots of support.

ITV continuity man called us a "Big Gun". I feel all mushy.

[Fesan]

So.. should we win today we are in the quarter finals vs Reading and if we beat them we are in the semi vs ... someone?

[guv111]

Ok, friends, we're on TV. Can ITV match Sky for cliches?

[citytilidie]

fucking disgusting line up

yeah, almost as disgusting as your attitude.

I have no problems with this line up.

8 defensive players? at HOME to a very average team? disgraceful

I can confirm we would definitely be in the semis against someone.

Bolton was a favourite choice a week ago.

Top 4 is far more important to the club than any cup this season.

[guv111]

Yay. There's that girl out of the Galaxy adverts!

Oh, it's David Platt.

Can someone pm a Joan.
