It seems like ages since I started one of these!

[King Kev]

Who scored it mate?

[ryanmjo]

From the @MCFC twitter:
City team: Taylor, Onuoha, Boyata, Kompany, Silvinho, De Jong, Ireland, Ibrahim, Robinho, Petrov, Benjani

That doesn't fill me with confidence.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Team is : Taylor, Ned, Boyata, Kompany, Sylvinho, De jong, Ireland, Ibrahim, Robinho, Petrov, Benjani.

[Crossie]

omg... hmmmmm, scunny are gonna fancy this one

[xavi6]

That's ropey as fuck

[Good Times]

Ummmm. Should be interesting to say the least.

[dikdik]

Ibrahim?
Who he?

[Tony P]

Ibrahim?
Who he?

His Wikipedia page was deleted just today because he had never played a senior game :)

[Moonchesteri]

The line-up is OK. We'll go through I tell you.

[Tokyo Blue]

Team is : Taylor, Ned, Boyata, Kompany, Sylvinho, De jong, Ireland, Ibrahim, Robinho, Petrov, Benjani.

Looking forward to seeing this lad play for the first time.

So why are we not taking this cup seriously, utter joke, richest club in the world, with no fit players.

[david yearsley]

Sounds like we don´t care - lets see coz the Arse got done today fielding a weakened team

[xavi6]

If De Jong gets injured by some lower league hatchet man I'll be well pissed off.

[dikdik]

Just checked Ibrahim. He's our norwegian somalian midfield player whose date of birth seems to be 00/00/0000.
Whatever... he puts on a city shirt and he's my kind of guy!!

[Moonchesteri]

Am I really the only one who feels that our line-up today isn't that bad really?

[MHiggi]

Weakened team yes, and they won't be used to playing with each other but there's still plenty of quality in that side. Some good sensible defending and a bit of flair up front and there's no reason we can't go through.

Having said that Scunny will fancy their chances and we'll probably get slaughtered if we lose.

Prediction 3-1 City

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Subs: Nielsen, Richards, SWP, Zabaleta, Barry, Bellamy, Cunningham

[edge275]

Mancini won't get sacked if we go out in the FA Cup but he will if he doesn't get us top 4 so you can hardly blame him.
