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

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'.

I want the return of "Nige the Rotweiler" today

[bluebananamilksheikh]

Not confident now, hope I am wrong!

Zaba.

Thaaat was it.

Surely any policy of giving others a chance in the early rounds goes out of the window for a Derby??? WTF are you thinking Mancini?. Why is Clichy not starting, no attacking players on the bench, fuck i am more nervous than ever now!

[s1ty m]

Poor team selection. Daft.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Bricking it now.

[MR IMAINEROAD]

Has to be played on the ground. I mean what is the average height of our front line? About 5' 6"?

You're right. Which is a shame because united's last two defeats were largely down to the aerial threat posed.

I really can't understand that team selection.

[dazby]

For all you celeb watchers apparently we've got michael lavelle from Coronation Street here in Brissie.

[Beeks]

I'm at the airport waiting for a flight

Nearly spat my beer out when I saw Hart left out!

WTF is going on?!

[shawzy]

So annoyed Clichy aint playing..Valencia will skin Kollers if he aint careful.

Worked like a charm against Stoke.

Set pieces will be interesting today!

[everyonehatesus]

oh fuck, I just dont believe this. Pants in goal has shitting it now, he is bloody crap. Add the fact we seem to only have one fucking striker fit, god im pissed off now.

[1950]

Relax, people. With a front 5 of Nasri, Johnson, Silva, Aguero & Jones, we're bound to score!

[Blue Blood]

All free kicks will be taken by Kolorov and rifled at Lindegaard.

Not much else as an option!

[Tesl]

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.

Yep I agree. I've never been this relaxed for a derby before, I don't think it makes much difference what the result is.

For what its worth I think we are better than them but will somehow lose today.

[Crossie]

The semi final last year was about 10 times bigger.

[DoomMerchant]

oh fuck, I just dont believe this. Pants in goal has shitting it now, he is bloody crap. Add the fact we seem to only have one fucking striker fit, god im pissed off now.

Pants isn't uhm, ermmm, pants.
Which striker would you played injured?
I'm not happy missing Clichy, but we have plenty of firepower going forward here fellas. Everyone take a deep breath.

Come the fucl on City!!!!

Suarez is an attacking midfielder. Striker wise Dzeko, Mario injured and best of the youngsters out on loan...
