best side tomorrow, second best side for sat, best side for barca.


I think that's how it's gonna have to go down.Just really hope the side that goes up against Chelsea has a real go at them.I'm thinking along the lines of the Bayern performance when a lot of the back up players really stepped up to the plate.Mourinho deserves to be dealt out a proper thumping in the cup for the way he has been carrying on the past fortnight.

Should we push for a postponement on safety grounds due to the wind? Maybe play it when it's a bit calmer. Nothing to do with Fernandinho, Aguero and Nasri being back.

ask Ashton. He has some pretty firm views about the impacts of bad weather
Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

Forecast for tonight in Manchester is 4 degrees and rain. M62 and Pennines may be different though.

PL is in our own hands - strongest team possible tonight - rest some players via subs only if and when we are in a winning position

FA Cup - major target and we are CITY at the Etihad - win this game and we are mad favourites for a Wembley trip - stongest team possible - rest some players via subs only if and when we are in a winning position

Barca - strngest team possible

Players should only be rested if their fitness level or level tiredness means that their participation would mean that we did not have the strongest team out.

I just hope the traffic and stadium queues are better than last week, it took me an hour and 45 mins to get to the stadium and then there were massive queues to get in. I live in sale, 7 miles away!

Last week the M60 was screwed thanks to people not being able to drive in straight lines, forwards!

Princes park way was chocca and the Mancy way was a car park as people avoided the motorway - and I was there around 6ish! (Had to drive from Kuntsford.)

Hopefully not too bad as coming to gods own club from home today.

It's fucking horrible already.

Hope we don't get too much wind blowing around tonight or it could fuck us up for playing decent football. We may end up with 81 crosses straight to Sunderland players.

You need a faster car ;-)

I live in Sale, but usually collect my mum from North Manchester on the way. She was away last week, but I did my usual route regardless. M60 via Stockport to A62, straight up there to Ashton Rd. 45 minutes to get into the main car park, arrived at 19:15. Always find that way is quicker than trying to get through town

thats a long way round, I only get stuck on night games, but weekends I can get there in 20 no problem. I was back in the house at 22:30 after the Chelsea game, so getting back is great. I might leave at 6 tonight to make sure I make kick off, if I breeze through (unlikely) I will go to the corner shop for some light refreshment

I'm in the main car park, so have given up on trying to get home the same day the match takes place.

WOW, I thought about buying a car parking space, but decided against it, how long does it take before you get out onto the road?

Plus I went to the Arsenal game on the tram as was meeting people for a drink in Didsbury after the game, its was great. I will start to use this service when the warmer weather comes along.
