Win the last 2 games and Sky will have to start talking about The Big Two.

It's very doable, and I am confident it will be done.

You've obviously not been watching SSN today, it's now "the big six".

Great news.

Richard Dunne did us a favour.

Ha ha, seriously?

I stopped watching this morning after sitting through 30 minutes of rag arse kissing whilst waiting for them to mention the FA Cup.

Yeah mate I was the same. Its really really sad, but my eyes have really been opened over the last three years re the media.

Our CL qualification is now vs Stoke at home and Bolton away instead of potentially Bayern over two legs... not a bad situation IMO!

Fantastic way of looking at it. I know the players are probably exhausted and maybe a little worse for wear today (considering how smashed Joe Hart looked less than an hour after the final whistle yesterday) but if they are told this I'm sure they can get themselves up for one final push and the fringe players can contribute their own little bit of history.

In the words of 68 believe we are capable of greatness so 3rd is no problem imo.

OLD WAY TYPICAL CITY : Draw Stoke, lose Bolton = Blow It
NEW WAY TYPICAL CITY : Win Stoke, win Bolton = Blow Arsenal Out

For me the mental positive attitude of Vinnie, Joe and Nigel especially have changed our ethos once and for all

Can honestly see us finish 3rd now.

I like it. Spot on mate.

The old 'typical' City has gone. The new City are winners

I went to soccernet.com (ESPN's footy page).. Scum were the main picture and then of the 8 headlines on the menu, not one mentioned us winning. There was a smaller link down below the Scum photo.

I felt a letter coming on, to u2us@skysports.com:


Dear SSN

I have to say your coverage of the FA cup all weekend was disgraceful. 'If it's not on SKY it doesn't happen' is of course the old mantra, but you are supposed to report current events, even if you cannot win the bid for them. Instead, all of Saturday and Sunday we have a love-in for Alex Ferguon and Man Utd, who everyone knew a week ago would win the league.

The occasional brief footnote of City's victory does not compensate for the disgraceful, pro-United editing. Sadly that is something football fans have become accustomed to on SSN over the years. How sad some must be that City had the temerity to beat the reds in the FA Cup semi - then we could've seen some real FA Cup coverage I suppose.

SKYTEXT went totally to sleep, since a couple of anti-City letters last week (no replies printed of course). No letters about the cup, not even about the league, just Tiger Woods all weekend. Outrageous and very lazy.

I wonder if City sign Kaká this summer will Bryan Swanson still be doing his 'ho-ho-ho City' routine? I doubt it, so you'd better get used to it SKY editors. City are coming.

Yours sincerely

John, St Austell

excellent letter my thoughts exactly,
ive noticed tomorrows game isnt being shown either,
had it been twitchy and spurs, no doubt it would have been.

One thing that MIGHT have some effect on us, as things stand right now Fulham have been given a Fairplay place in the Europa League - and I think their last game is against Arsenal, so they wont want to be kicking Arsenal around the field if they're guarding their lack of yellow's/reds. I could see Arsenal winning this one. Hopefully we win both of our games and we wont have to worry.

That just sounds bitter.

fuck me we win the bloody fa cup and some people have nowt better to think about than the scum and sky fookin sports. get a grip.

Really looking forward to tomorrow night now. Before Arsenal messed up this game was a complete dead rubber and both teams probably would have played poorly. But with something to play for I can see it being a very entertaining match.

Completely.. this is a fantasy end to a great season.. and still there is massive amount to fight for. Stoke will be up for it now too and we have two must win games.. still on the edge of our seats... brilliant. It isn't just qualification iether to play for, 3rd sounds so much better and it is what history will remember... FA Cup Winners and 3rd in the Premiership.
Not there yet though and we need two big performances starting with beating Stoke down for 35mins and this time getting th 2 or 3 goals we should have got in the first half on Saturday.

anyways...
ps thanks Arsenal

I think they need 5 bookings before they have to worry.
