Wembley possibilities

[Ted Hughes]

Big games v the rags are going to become the norm & their fans won't be able to hack it when they lose some of them. They will start turning up mob handed & kick off everywhere & we'll see who the real bitters are.

They were always the real bitters Ted...as we well know.
They have always excelled at being violent cowards, unable to cope with failure.
When City beat them at a charity cricket match, didn't they try to wreck the Lancashire Cricket Ground?
...and didn't that famous (Law backheel) derby at the swamp, end in a mass pitch invasion as the shitford attempted to stave of relegation by having the game abandoned?

I agree - they always have been the biggest lemon suckers of all. They have been shit for one season in my life 1973/74 but remain so insecure. Every song about City/the opposition. A case of attaching yourself to something where you don't have to think. Often think it would be better if they would just chill out but it won't happen.

I have a horrible feeling we will get the winner of arse/rags in the semi if we get through

[Crossie]

With a fully fit 11, we should beat their fully fit 11.

2-1

Tevez would simply not allow them to beat us.

I have this really deep sneaky kind of feeling that we will get past Reading easily, draw B'ham in the semi's and have Rags at Wembley I also think they will be battered good and proper and we will get to see the dream or all dreams!!!!

That would be the most ideal thing, would it not?

[john68]

I am a great believer in Karma...and I don't believe in coincidence as being accidental...(but that is another story)

Was it any coincidence that after years of arrogance mainly aimed at us...when the rags finally fell from grace in the 70s, the final act of execution was carried out by one of their own heroes, wearing a sky blue shirt?

How wonderfully poised it is that after 35 years of having them ram that figure down our throats, we should end our barren spell whilst playing against them on the biggest stage. How wonderful would their pain be to be the ones who succumbed to us and their failure was our success.

That would be a very poignant "TYPICAL CITY" moment to savour.

Karma - yes, and in my dreams along the same lines, in the final against the rags Tevez scores at least twice, DeJong gets his first goal for City, Gary Neville has made a comeback and scores in his own net, and at 5-0 City fans are singing "Feed the Goat" amd "Uwe, Uwe Rosler."

See...we both can't be wrong Bonny...:-)

[The Man In Blue]

That 2nd scenario is just not true.

Yes, it is. You just misinterpreted it - perhaps I should have said 'my world', apologies. I'd just be getting used to the idea that City had reached a major cup final by the end of the game - and if we lost that game to those cunts, of all fucking teams, well.

@ The Man In Blue,
As you are thinking personally and short term, I agree mate but it is about time that we City fans got out of the short term habit and went for the long term mindset. I have banged on about IMMEDIACY for ages and still think that is the only thing that could possibly stop us.
Losing to the rags in a Wembley final would be devastating...but for how long? A few days? A few months?. There are far bigger things happening here that make our success inevitable.
We would go into a Wembley final against a team that would be probably considered to be Champions elect. It would take them ahead of Liverpool as England's record title holders. It would be their ultimate success domestically anfd the media would be having a party for for them. We would be the new kids on the block, having finished well below them in the League, we would be massive underdogs. The media wouldn't give us a chance. City losing would be pretty much expected by all outside our sky blue family.

What better time to take them from their pedestal, not just wobble it, but kick it out from under them causing them to fail and fall. WHAT BETTER TIME TO MAKE THE BIG BLUE STATEMENT.

Shame that when we get to wembley there will only be about 25,000 city fans there and maybe 40,000 bankers.

[colonel_muck]

also we didn't beat reading while they were in the premier league, so although i am also getting carried away, i don't like such a public display of it makes us seem cocky as fuck, when most of us aren't.

[ashton287]

also while im complaining about the allocations i might aswell bring this up

Starting to wonder if the possability of a final is even worth getting excited over.

D'yer know Ashton..I just checked out some of those prices and in 1969, the robbin bastards charged us 12/- (60p)... it's fuclin outragious mate...I mean 12/-. We could barely afford it.

Even losing to the Scum might not be TOO (??) bad, in a perverse way, if we actually played well, attacked and looked the far better side, only to be unlucky at the end of the day (usual scenario :- one of Fergiescum's hand-picked referees bending over backwards for them, as per normal and giving them every dubious decision going); the world and his wife would sit up and then see exactly how far we had come in a short time, which would still fit in with our Owner's longer term profiling plans.

Anyway, if City do get to the Final, I don't really care who we are up against; we can only beat what's put in front of us, although beating the Filth there (which we would) would be the dream of all dreams for us.
