[nottsblue]

Fa cup 5th round tie at Ashton Gate. Imagine it will be a full house and absolutely rocking

They are unbeaten in 12 I think so this is a potential banana skin for us. Though I reckon we will go full team ahead. Looking forward to it

3-1 after a bit of a scare

[Mase]

Come on blues.

[Kippax Sean]

Looking forward to this one. Jordan, Gobber and the rest will be waiting with cocks in hand incase there's an upset. Hope we have them shuffle off to a dark room by scoring 2 or 3 in the first 30 mins. 6-1 City with them scoring with their first shot on target.

[Original Dub]

It's going to be a hugely changed team unfortunately I think.

Personally, I'd like it if he just rested the players that are being played every game (rodri and the likes), though not haaland because there's no fucking way he's tired.

Come on city !

[CTID Hants]

Saw us play at Ashton Gate back in the 90's in a pre season friendly.

As much as i enjoyed, this is a competitve game and a must win.

The rags are not allowed to win anything else this season....

Pretty decent. Should be enough to win. Does this go the extra time and penners tonight in the event of a draw?

[ruralblue]

Phillips hat trick..........

And then I woke up.

We'll go one nil up in ten mins then pass backwards and sidewards and back wards. Retain 75 per cent possession and they'll score two quick goals in second half on their first shots on goal. Pep will try save the day by bringing Haaland on at 90+ mins.

Come on CITY!

[Dubciteh]

Big night for Phillips.

Il be fuming if we lose after the effort required to beat chelsea ans arsenal. Also dont want the rags with another free run at a cup.

Just said the same to my bruv, surely good enough? But as you said earlier they've been on a bit of a run of late.

All we can hope is a decent pitch, an honest ref and a good performance with effort from the team

30 mins extra time then pens if needed.

Fatty Phillips will do the business.

A result like the women will do me

[Harry Dowd scored]

We have a 340 million bench apparently

[nottsblue]

2 minutes in and discussing the teams and some pundit immediately comes out with “the bench costs £340m”

Must just be a stat or conversation piece for us as I have never heard for other teams

Cue the Ricky Villa goal

Would rather Buster Phillips be playing.

Surprised they haven’t said we can’t be arsed showing tonight’s game, here’s a rerun of the glorious rags magnificent performance on Sunday where they demolished a resurgent Newcastle to win what will surely be the first of a massive trophy haul for the magician Ten Hag

[john@staustell]

Would rather Buster Phillips be playing.

Britain's 1st 10 million player?

Still remember the silly twat missing an empty goal from 6 yards right in the middle, after Rosler drew the keeper out to where the 6 yard line meets the dead ball line and set him up.

Sheffield Wednesday?
