***official chelsea vs city fa cup semi final thread***

[Tokyo Blue]

Wonder how long it will take Clive the rag to mention the rags in commentary of our game.

He'll be at it before the match even starts.

[Superbia]

Was hoping to see Micah on the bench

[bigblue]

Strong lineup and more than enough to win if everyone performs. Happy for the big man too

COME ON CITY!!!

[Crossie]

We basically don't lose when Tevez and Aguero start.

Strange line up from Chelsea.

[Michael Brookes]

I wonder if there is market for sinclair getting ANY game time today..

[MilnersJaw]

Glad pantiman is starting, deserves it, definitely not his last chance.

[Dwaring]

Mancini is taking a big risk putting panti in goal. Im not saying the game is at risk for the club as I believe panti defiantly deserves it and is a great keeper. But if he lets in a howler and we lose its on Mancini. Not saying the same couldn't happen to hart but then it doesn't reflect as poorly on Mancini.

Anyways
COME ON CITY.

Disagree.
What kind of manager would pull a player out who has played all competition. This would show the player he has no faith in him.
If he doesn't rate Panti, then he should never have played him in the competition. I think the decision to play him today was made at the start of the FA cup challenge.

[Dameerto]

Am I right in thinking Yaya is one Wembley goal away from being given the stadium?

PS Chiles is a cnut incase there was any doubt.

[Crossie]

Chelsea have a great midfield, soft at the back though. This could be a high scoring game.

Yeah I agree it's the right move as a manager but I doubt think the owners are looking for a manager who has faith in his back up keeper. They are looking for trophies and if one that is ripe for the taking is lost due to not putting the top 11 on pitch it is easy to blame the manager.

LETS GO CITY. PUT SOME IN THE NET!

[Beefymcfc]

Come On City!!!

[Moonchesteri]

COME ONNNN CITY!!!!!!

[Pretty Boy Lee]

C'mon lads

[Dameerto]

What the hell was Luiz swinging at then? Cause he missed the ball by almost half the length of the pitch.

[Dwaring]

Are they filming this from space! Can hardly see who's who. Terrible camera angle.

They've changed to a lower one now. I totally agree, BTW.

[Green & Blue]

Come on City
