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

[trueblue64]

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

He has come out of retirment for the rest of the season.

[CTID Hants]

Happy birthday to David Silva, 26 today

[CityGer]

Don't understand Panti or Kolarov playing.

Id also convinced myself that Yaya was going to start.

Nervous...

[Bridge'srightfoot]

Bricking it.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Didnt see any sign of a problem with Joe yesterday.He's on the bench so I assume not injured so a brave decision by Mancini.As big ,maybe bigger,is Clichy not playing. He was flying in training yesterday but there again Kolarov was good as well.As long as Kolarov gets plenty of help with either Valencia or Nani we will be ok.

Utterly bizzare and shows how worried taggart is

[trueblue64]

Really not sure about this team, the scum will be up for this big time.

[PeterParker]

Imho, Bob is playing Lemmons to convince himself if they will buy him or not. While City delays any decision and the months are passing, the transfer bid rises and rises. This is the way the contract was made.

[Bluemoon16]

Worried !

[Bridge'srightfoot]

Valencia and Nani scare me.

Using a return of scholes to fire up the others.

You have to hand it to baconface, he knows how to play the game.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Fucking stupid of Mancini not to play Hart.

[Florida Blue]

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.

Is it disrespectful that de Gea is on the bench as well? How much have we seen of Pants? Romania or not he is still a national team keeper. And if I recall last year in Europa didn't seem too intimidated playing us.

Either that or he will use him the last 5 minutes to filet Aguero or Silva and take his final red card of his career.

[1950]

Pants did fine vs Arsenal. I'm more worried about the lack of options upfront.

[shawzy]

Here we go again, fucking around with our defence.

Ha! True that!

[Original Dub]

Not one bit happy with that team.

[Dameerto]

Was it Nige that Scholes studded just before he retired, or was it AJ? My memory is going. If it was Nige, I hope he gets a chance to say 'thankyou'.
