***official City v Rags FA Cup thread***

[bigblue]

Also confident but nervous. But excited over the moon that if we beat them, we basically create a media shit storm, destroy their confidence, and guarantee that they don't win any trophies this year.

Let's fuckin smash 'em!!! Come on City!!!

[Green & Blue]

credible source, hope he is wrong!

[Bridge'srightfoot]

The fact that I feel we should win makes me feel nervous we wont.

So which is it, confident or nervous??

I'm confident as fooooooook.

I don't know. If we play to our best we'll win. But this is a derby and anything can happen.

Why rest the best keeper for a derby wtf is that about.

Why rest the best keeper for a derby wtf is that about.

Seems very odd, could even be seen as disrespectful of the opposition and I can't see Joe being happy with it.
Hope to god the bloke is wrong, the more I think about it the more absurd it seems.

[Nigels Tackle]

will be more disrespectful if united choose to start with de gea...

[Dunnylad]

I wasn't nervous until I read this thread - I think today means do much to them, more so than it does us, but another victory & we'd be into Un*t*d in crisis territory, a place they should have been last season - here's hoping we hammer them, shrek gets sent off along with Evra & Jones manages a Jamie Pollock :D

[Bridge'srightfoot]

All the media are going on about how this is 'the biggest derby of all time' and how a city win could see 'the demise of united'. They talk such rubbish. I don't think the implications are that huge.

The more disrespectful the better as long as we win. In the video of the players arriving, you can also see Rekik, Suarez, and Razak. Will be interested to hear the lineup/squad. Until then I'm bricking it

Scholes on the bench!! The rumours get stranger and sillier

Subs: Hart, Clichy, Zabaleta, Savic, Hargreaves, Razak, Suarez

No one there to change the game if it goes to shit. Aguero injured and we're fucked.

And yep, MUFC confirm Ginger is on the bench.

#MUFC Lindegaard, Evra, Jones, Ferdinand, Smalling, Valencia, Carrick, Nani, Giggs, Welbeck, Rooney.

Good to see Nasri back and fit. It'll be a big day for De Jong and Milner, but confident they can beat the average scum midfield. Also hope Kolarov and Aj are up to the task. Would love to beat them with a 2nd string goalie!
