[CTID Hants]

A repeat of the 2013 semi will do nicely here (a great day out that was), just need an honest ref and no dirty cunt tactics from the opposition

C'MON CITY

We have to pinch ourselves right now to realise how relentless the real big games are coming thick and fast right now . In just ten games time including today’s game we could achieve the impossible . Mind blowing.............

C’mon City !

C’mon City !

Full strength and we win this at a canter. Expect to see changes though which opens it up a little for them

Full strength but am happy with Steffan behind Stones and Dias. No brain farts Pep, no stupid tactics and just let the lads take control.

Yup. For me as well. Come on, boys.

[zuricity]

we should put a very strong team out and ease off if well ahead . they have three days before Villa , where we only need to avoid a loss .

[Outcast]

Laporte and Dias at back, rest Foden and KDB, time for Sterling and Jesus to shine

[blues-clues]

Interesting that Pep thinks he would lose the dressing room if he put Steffen on the bench and played Ed. I reckon that’s what happened with Mancini when he played Hart v Wigan in the FA Cup. Have always thought that team had decided they were not going to win that game from the outset.

We wont win if them 2 useless cunts are playing from the off.

We were on the coach down to Wembley and heard that the club had offered a contract to Pellers. I doubt the players would want to lose a final on purpose because the manager made a decision on one player.
More the fact Mancini was already getting let go imo. It was embarrassing by the club to let it leak, similar to when Mancini took over from Hughes and it was going around the stadium during the Sunderland match Hughes was going.

All I really remember about that day was relief when Wigan put us out of our misery, because I don't think I could have endured another 30 minutes, then walking out of the stadium into what was like a monsoon.

I think they both look out for your posts on here pre match Carl, just to fire them up

[CuteMancs]

In case you were wondering, I have not been able to get in to the shed end forum all week, and the other forums are just not worth it. No idea what the chavs are thinking, so all I can say is, bring it on and

COME ON CITY!!!

We got on the coach and it was like I’d been swimming with my clothes on. Aircon on the coach was broke so it was blasting for the 6 hours it took to get home because the driver went the wrong way. What an awful day

Rest Foden and KDB?

For what? A game against Aston fucking Villa

Really really hope not.
