If we want to progress we need to play as close to full team as possible which is a pain in the ass, otherwise we might go out given Pulis for once is taking his serious by playing his first choice team during the week
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least we know he's playing his main players.

What pissed me off the most about these away draws is that first we have the extra travel but then we have to field a strong team if we want to take the competition seriously.

Look at last year in the FA Cup, every game away to a PL team or the top of the Championship. West Ham, Palace, Huddersfield and Middlesbrough, putting strong teams out only to be fucked over in the final against The Emirates. Those games, during a busy period, all take their toll, especially as the majority of the next games were also away from home.

Last season we got no grace from the powers that be, not a jot, and I expect the same this season as it doesn't fit their business model.
In the words of my Old Man, "Life will never be the same without Man City, so get it in while you can".

Lets see now we have a premier league team away and who do the rags have? A home tie against Isle of Man FC or someone like that i suppose.

Again? Wow. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but the odds were 100,000 to 1 to have been drawn 9 times in a row away to the the top 26 sides...

and that was after the one against Huddersfield!

They don't try to hide it but they don't advertise it either. Sky sports will spend zero time telling the world these stats. No one but City fans know. They are too busy increasing Walker's fee every week to mention the cup draws.
