A nice read on Uwe, if anybody's interested:

[urlnp=http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/26435255]Uwe's Thoughts[/urlnp]

"He held up his phone and the City fans were singing my name and I could hear it echoing around the ground. The news had reached them that I was ill, but they were willing me to beat the cancer.

"They had not given up on me. It put a smile back on my face and gave me new hope and new motivation to get through a very difficult time.

"I had a bond with the club before, but it became unbreakable at that moment. I felt that, with that kind of backing, how could I possibly fail?"

Both played midweek and Zab's definately needs a rest, he's been non-stop all season.

I agree entirely....

The defence as always worries me.... Richards, when did he last play? Don't think DM and Joleon have ever paired.... Clichy must stay back and Garcia needs to stay switched on....

Looks like Manuel is taking the "Keegan" approach with this one....

I'm not confident with that team selection, at all. Yes, we've got good players but, as you say, when have they played or played together? Going forward we look very good but the selection at the back worries me.

Arsenal
Shef Utd
Hull

What do reckon the draw will bring? Personally, it'd bring more interest if we were kept away from Arsenal.

Great to see Micah in the team again and Rodwell on the bench!

Also looking forward to garcia being in to give Yaya a bit more license to get forward. More than enough quality to win this out there...

Neutrals probably want us to get Arse so there is an underdog in the final.

They had Wright and Sweep doing the home/away draws on ITV! I blame Ian Wright.
