A big thanks to young Joe (my lad) for taking a LONNNNGGG Time to research facts and write this preview. I helped him with some wording but its mainly his work. Cheers Son

Well done little man, not a bad job at all. You could give some of the writers we have around here a few lessons.

2008/09 (2nd Round) Brighton 2 – 2 City (Albion won 5-3 on penalties)
2007/08 (5th round) City 0 – 2 Spurs (City beat Bristol City en-route to the 5th round and I was mascot at Ashton Gate!!!)
2006/07 (2nd round) Chesterfield 2 – 1 City
2005/06 (2nd round) Doncaster 1 – 1 City (Doncaster won 3-0 on penalties)


Far too many 2nd round exits in that list. I suddenly don't feel confident about this game now ;-)

Well in Mini-Wall!

Brilliant stuff Joe, I really enjoyed reading that. I hope you're going to write some more for us this season?

Good point about Warnock's double standards and balloon-gate, I hadn't thought of that!

In the 94/95 season, City lost 4-0 in the QF with Palace

I remember this game all too well. It was a midweek game so I swapped to an early shift which meant me getting up at 04:30am then getting the train to London straight after work. There was a really good turn out by the blues and a great atmosphere... then the game began!!
I hadn't arranged any transport home but was lucky enough to get a lift on a Supporters Club coach. This meant I spent the entire journey home sitting on the floor as there were no seats left, then I was dropped off the wrong side of Manchester from where I needed to be and didn't get home until after 2am..... I then got up again at 04:30am to go to work!!

I was a bit pissed off with City for a few days after that.

Great job, quality preview indeed.

Great article, however I didn't think Warnock was manager of Sheff United during the infamous Balloon gate game.
