Match Thread: Stoke v Man City (FA Cup replay)

[pears12]

Going to? I thought we already had. Still, 6th will get us into a cup no one cares about

I care about the Europa League. Some of the Matches last season were really special to me. Anyone who went to the Home leg vs Hamburg will have felt the atmosphere.

Without Googling it, who won it last year? We got so close and I couldn't even be bothered to watch the final. Apart from Liverpool, I couldn't even tell you which English sides are still in it and that's how little it matters to most

Shaktar Donetsk won the Europa league last year they beat Bremen in final..also Everton and Fulham are in the Europa league, it is a worthwhile competition and I mean it more legitimate than the league milk cup where big clubs send out there 18 year olds till they get beaten or until they draw rival in semi final

One nil down and playing pretty well away from home, we get the scores level and the ref decides to award a Red card that should have been nothing more than a word.

I am not a Mancini fan but let's not forget we are in extra-time with 10 men. Although disappointing, some of you need to give your heads a wobble.

[DoomMerchant]

anemic effort by SWP.

Bremen? I didn't Google it. To be honest, I stopped following it once we got knocked out and I had alot of personal stuff going on at the time.

[Dunne's Half-Time Pint]

FRANKLY. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

ADE GETTING SENT OFF DIDN'T HELP BUT 3 GAMES AGAINST STOKE AND NOT LOOKED LIKE WINNING ANY OF THEM.

WE WILL DO WELL TO GET ANY EUROPEAN SPOT, NEVER MIND CL.

I DO NOT WANT THIS MAN AT OUR CLUB. LIKE IT OR NOT, SACKING HUGHES IS PROBABLY THE ONLY REAL MISTAKE OUR OWNERS HAVE MADE. AND THE DEPRESSING THING IS THAT IT WAS DOWN TO TWATS, LIKE A FEW PEOPLE ON THIS SITE, WHO EVIDENTLY KNOW FUCK ALL ABOUT FOOTBALL.

YOURS,

PISSED OFF,
MANCHESTER

Sorry but no matter how bad Mancini's doing, it was not a mistake to get rid of a useless Rag like Hughes.

You're beyond help.

[ENIAM NAM]

to be fair Stoke havne't lost in 2010. i'm just sayin.

cheers

They have played us in 30% of those games.

CHEERS

that was partially my point...i'm glad yr savvy enough to realize that.

Cheers.

an ALMOST believable recovery

Instead we`ve got this well done...by the way dont buy my lottery ticket for me.

[Vhero]

The point of bringing Santa Cruz for Ireland was what exactly?? I Mean we were a striker down sure but move Bellamy up there Santa Cruz is a waste of money and space on the field.

RSC actually came on for Bridge which was an even stranger decision, bring on a striker yes, move a RB who has played all game in midfield over to LB and take a natural and attacking LB off. Bizarre

Sorry yeah it was bridge had a bit of rum tonight :p either so his decisions for subs have been shocking tonight swapping a LB for a LB when we need a goal was fucking GOLDEN!

you have witnessed us go downhill faster than Franz Klammer and you think the decision to sack hughes was correct! Hmmmm, I think differently.

[Blue Blood]

Its super shite we are going out to these thugs but lets face it we wouldn't have beat chelsea playing like we are atm in the next round anyways.

Hell saturdays league game against them is gonna be crazy tough.

I just pray city don't let top 4 slip through our fingers....

That 'useless Rag' had us better placed than this inept prick

[HeyMark]

All that has been proven is Mancini's own mantra: the most important thing for a manager is luck.
1) top scorer on family leave
2) Ade sent off with a bad decision that changed the game

Being overly defensive and tactically inept has nothing to do with lack of luck

[Mark (Blue Army)]

ffs roque!

[ruralblue]

Well done Santa.

[Vhero]

1 man down 5 mins left santa cruz missing a sitter? We out this cup..

[Mike J]

why were the suggestions that mancini is the italian pearce dismissed??

Anyone at Liverpool celebrating being in it this season? Haven't a lot of the English sides played reserves when they got in it? Meaningless competition, on a par with Carling Cup. Pity, as old UEFA and Cup Winners' Cups were good, but once UEFA starts messing...

[Mase]

Not the first time I've felt ashamed to be a City fan, but it's definitely the first time in a long while!

thanks. I wrote it with passion.

this is starting to feel like the Pearce era at the end, isn't it? i thought fuclers were just high suggesting that a few weeks ago, but...anyone is capable of beating us. Anyone. i believe that.

cheers
