Micah was leading by example effort-wise as captain. Absolutely immense

Imo Micah will be City skipper one day, guy is everything city is about.

Alongside Vinny, both are absolute city icons.

Wow. Just got back from the game and what a cracker it was. I have never been prouder to be a Blue than I am today - to come back from 3-0 down with 10 men for most of the game and with the referee and linesmen all closet rags was incredible. When they went down to 10 men against us they capitulated and got battered 6-1. When we go down to 10 men we pull our socks up, think fuck it and show everyone that the motto on our badge is exactly what we stand for. Micah, Aguero and Milner were fucking unbelievable warriors today. When you're up against it you need players who will roll their sleeves up and take the game by the scruff of the neck and they did exactly that. Aguero had his best game in a City shirt and we can all take plenty of encouragement from the character and fight shown by our team today

SO PROUD OF THE BOYS TODAY

I'm sorry but it doesn't. He was at fault for 2 of the goals conceded today which made it an uphill task and cost us the game

I agree. I had mixed feelings about this game. Obviously to lose would be a bummer... but... in the grand scheme of things Scum now have more matches to play with more injuries for a cup that we've just won
PLUS
Take the spirit of the second half with the first team players back for Wednesday night and we're back at Wembley.

Simples.

But then again he got us back into the match with a stunner and was oh so close to earning us a replay.

If we get a free kick 20-25 yards out there a few players I'd rather be standing over it.

Fair enough he scored a great free kick to get us back in the game but he also put us in a position where we had to get back in the game. Having him in the side is like playing with 10 men because he doesn't contribute much else apart from his free kicks

To be even fairer I don't think we would have been 3-0 down if Kompany hadn't been sent off so blaming Kolarov for everything is a bit lame!

Blame one person and one person only. His name is Foy.

Does not change the fact that we are out.

Wrong Team selection in the first place again , Clichy and Hart should have played.

It may feel like a moral victory but those twats are through and it will give them belief.

Sorry guys but I am f***king gutted and do not feel anything else.

Get a grip. Foy was always going to fuck us no matter who we started.

I'm not blaming him for everything just 2 of the goals that we conceded. The first goal was scored as a result of him not blocking Valencia's cross and that was even before Kompany was sent off. Foy is a bent twat and cost us the game but it does not change the fact that Kolarov is not good enough for a top 6 side let alone one that is challenging for the Premiership

I'm proud of the second half display but agree with you, I'm gutted we are out. I think we are in the minority.

I am sitting in a bar full of scum supporters in Kilkenny in Ireland and believe me I am the one with the smile on my face. To a man and a woman they agree that city did a Dunkirk on the match today and the battle may be lost but the war was won today. Proud to be blue today:-)
Hoping our new rollercoaster gives us the thrill of our lives.

Weirdest reaction I've had to a derby defeat, giving our lot a standing ovation as they went off. Phenomenal effort in that second half, and should further dispel the myth of our squad being full of mercenaries just in it for the money.

Never thought I would feel this positive about a derby day defeat.

So so proud of the team. The way the crowd reacted at the end shows that.

I thourght all our team were money grabbers who didnt give a shit about the club?
