****City v Burnley FA Cup Official Match Thread****

[Tokyo Blue]

I think united would take him, Dazzer.

Dyche can‘t be that thick surely ? how can anyone from the fouling team expect the ref to stop the game and enforce the 10 yard rule?

What I want to know is would that goal have been allowed if he was playing with his son in the garden.

Lets get back to the football eh ? Burnley are a very well organised team this season and Sean Dyche has done a fantastic job with the resources available and they play good football , going to be a tough game this one for me I think although Dyche has hinted at rotating his Burnley team due to the fact that Man City,s 2nd team is as good as most PL sides (his words). Straight talker is Dyche I like him and I think he will manage a very big PL club in the future . Everything in the last few days coming out of the City camp points to Pep going with a strong team even with the Carabao Cup Semi Final looming on Tuesday night . A rare day off not going to the game for me today , all those going have a great day and a few beers

Possible team , Bravo , Walker , Stones , Mangala , Danilo , Gundogan , Bernado Silva , Yaya, David Silva , Sane , Aguero.

Make a prediction on Dyche 64. How “very big” do you think he can go?

For me he’s got maybe a West Brom, a Leeds or a Villa, but I don’t think he’ll go further than that.

He is the no nonsense man who isnt a Yes man that England need. He strikes me as a mans man who gets the best out of people who can adapt to changing environments

Agree with notts . I maybe wrong but word is Dyche turned down Everton recently so if true he is waiting for a really big one imho . The likes of WBA , Leeds and Villa are clubs that will be treading water for decades even Pulis cant hold onto a job there lol

So make a call mate. Nominate some clubs that would take him on.

He is an established PL manager now and Burnley punching above there weight with Dyche at the helm . Spurs maybe a decent shout once Pochetino has had enough or gets prized away from there maybe ?

Massive call mate.

If Burnley were a free scoring side then maybe. But the key to their success is their defence. Clubs that are attracted to that type of manager are clubs on the slide.

Stoke should enquire.

Dyche will have Harry Kane though ? Unless spurs sell for stupid money !

Woah, must have missed that City64 post as I said something very similar yesterday (I wasn't copying honest!!) I think he could be managing a so-called top 6/7 club within 3-4 years no problem

Well the draws have been kind to us this season, so who will we get in the next round??

Surely you mean fixed in our favour?

You were absolutely 100% convinced the draw was fixed against us. So the options are:

a) It's now fixed in our favour
b) Suddenly the draw has stopped being fixed
c) There's some really complex system whereby the draw is fixed for some teams and not others
d) You were wrong and/or paranoid

I'd really be interested to know which of these you believe it is with the benefit of hindsight.

Sure thing.

What I'll need from you first is the post where I said the draw is fixed against us.

And we can take it from there.

Otherwise, the options are:

A) You were completely wrong
B) please see A


Ok..... go!

I'll wait for our very own king of the search function to draw up a montage. In many ways, it'll be even sweeter.

How's the montage coming along?

Come on now Bosnia, you can't shout out loud and then hide again. One of us have to choose from one of our options today.

Let's go!

Sounds perfect for the SCUM, to my mind Dazzer.

Indeed. We need cute play like that and the quickly-taken free kick to break these teams' defences. Those goals that Aguero scored are the type he needs to be scoring for us as he is deadly in those situations. Hopefully this Gundogan-Aguero partnership will thrive.

[Sideshow Bob]

interesting seeing that backheel replay. when i watched it live, i thought aguero took a quick touch around the keeper but now i see he just let it roll. keeper could/should have done better there?

[Justified logic]

Looks to me like he did knock it on past the keeper.

[Foreverinbluedreams]

Yeah me too, the deftest of touches with his right.

[Sideshow Bob]

i think you could be right. looks like maybe he nudges it with his right, just at :08 in the video.

Sorry, it was my wife's Christmas, so I had other things on my mind.

You're right, I owe you an apology. Every single post of yours that I can see relating to draws being fixed is a comment on one of Nigel's Tackles posts where he says the draw isn't fixed or mocks people who believe it is. I've got to say, searching through your post history, it's quite enlightening as to who-follows-who around the forum regarding you two...

[Original Dub]

Apology accepted.

Dyche can‘t be that thick surely ? how can anyone from the fouling team expect the ref to stop the game and enforce the 10 yard rule?

What I want to know is would that goal have been allowed if he was playing with his son in the garden.

you mean playing football with his son i guess

i‘m sure his son would have proved him to be the buffoon that he is.

It was a ridiculous statement by Dyche.
Every foul you see, someone stands in front of the ball and we play it quick two-theee yards to the side and nobody bats an eyelid.
Just because they were caught out with a quick free forward he thinks it’s unfair when he is stating his man standing in front of the ball, is the one that would have cut out that ball to Kun, if he had of been where he should have been.

The man was grasping at straws for an excuse and some positive out of the lesson they got in football.
