**Champs v Swindon Town (A) FAC 7th Jan| Match Thread***

Im happy with that team. I want to win this cup. They have a week off after this and its tricky away tie at lower league with full house behind them. Theyd kick fuck out of our younger players. Get into a lead and bring a couple on.

I bet KDB gets injured playing against these hackers .

Garner has Swindon playing very much like us. What they’ve done their this season is remarkable seeing that they were in deep shit prior to the start of the season after their previous owner ripped the club apart, they didn’t even have a first team.

Saying that, Kev could hurt himself tripping over the line.

We need to stop comparing ever kid to Foden as well. “Do they want to do a Foden or Sancho?” - Foden is a one off (for a few years at least). Not every kid that comes through will be as good as Phil, but that doesn’t mean they won’t make it with us.

And not every kid that comes through will be a die hard City fan like Phil either. He was going to make it whichever way he was brought through.

Who's the commentator on ITV? I like him, called us the best team in England without a doubt and most probably the best in the world.

COME ON CITY!

You’ve brought Foden into the debate when I don’t think he’s been mentioned. Although I do remember when Pep was getting flack for not playing him saying that he was easing him in as it’s not easy to integrate a young lad in front of a baying crowd.

Anyway, love the FA Cup, here’s hoping for a decent win with a few of the young’ens getting some game time.

Ps. Great to hear McCoist rather than the Sky/BT nuggets.

You’ve genuinely never heard any of our fans say “well do they want to be Foden or Sancho”??

I’ve read it about three times this week.

Decent chance for Bernardo after great work by Cancelo.

He was brilliant during the Euros.

And on our Amazon prime games in December, zero agenda

This pitch is ripping up with ease.

Time wasting from minute 8

Not heard it myself as we don’t usually talk about the youth, particularly me as I’d rather just wait to see them on the pitch when they get their chance.

My favourite commentator

He commentates like hes having a few pints down the local with a group of mates. Just enjoying the game

Commentator- “what do you think of the City kit with no badge”…..Camera pans to the badge on the kit

I think McCoist just got it down his ear at the same time.

[nottsblue]

I assume the inclusion of Jesus was to hopefully get him a goal or two to give him a confidence boost. So what's the point of him playing out wide here? May as well see McAtee on the wing otherwise
