FA Cup semi final draw

[zuricity]

Should be plenty of tickets available for this.

I’m guessing our two can’t play against us?

nope
massive shame

Up to City according to these people on itv. No saying they are right of course

Would be pure incompetence on our behalf if we allowed them to play .

I agree. But there will be sentimental types among us who want to "help their development "

Not just their development, it could be their only chance to play at Wembley in their careers.

I personally wouldn’t let them play.

[john@staustell]

That's it then.

They do look decent. But watching Brighton then Fulham play that Sheffield Blackburn game was pretty poor standard

On a personal level it is a shame, especially for Tommy for scoring a belter to get them there.

That said i would like to think they are pragmatic enough to see the bigger future, as it appears both are clearly in the clubs plans going forward for them realise they will win pots and titles with us.

I hope they don't decide to be all petulant ala sturridge and sancho thinking they are bigger than the club, remind me how that has worked out....

Hopefully they will both be there in the crowd supporting City!!

I didn't realise that Macatee also has a connectiion to the club, his great uncle is Alan Ball!!

Looks as though Tommy spoke too soon..."we are going to Wembley". City are not going to allow Tommy and James to play.

The rules of the FA Cup stop players on loan from playing against their parent club. Nothing to do with City stopping them playing against us. Strangely the Champions League, and probably all UEFA competitions, allow the loaned player to play against his parent club and insist that the parent club cannot stop the player playing against them.

[PeterParker]

Can those two play against us?

I thought I heard the itv commentator saying "city wouldn't allow them to play" like it was our decision, I found that a very odd thing to say. Big bad City, being nasty again. Then again he was very excited when all the Fulham lads were sent off, so that probably explains it.

Was thinking about this on way home. We play 2nd leg against Bayern on the Wednesday before, which will mean rags play thursday in their europa thingy against sevilla. So pretty much nailed on we get the Saturday game..

So now the fans have to go all the way down to London, when Sheff and City could go to Villa Park. Whilst the Rags fans have a home game in London against local Brighton. At least it is the Saturday for us and if City fans want to they can stay over in London and do something exciting like give some sad bastard grief at Hyde Park's Speakers corner.

[BlueinBosnia]

It's on London marathon weekend again, incidentally.

[Nigels Tackle]

when are they going to confirm the fucking date and release the tickets!?
