We should refuse to play the semi final then???

3 days between matches is perfectly normal in the football calendar. Happens plenty of times throughout the season.

Most of us have to be back in work bright and early the monday morning after the sunday semi , whats your travel schedule from Singapore looking like ?

City fans should get the club to open the Etihad stadium and show the game there

Your point has absolutely nothing to do with the original quote above that I was responding to. He's questioning why we're playing 2 games in such a short time.

Although I understand that may be difficult for you to understand.

I was simply questioning your smug reply to a perfectly plausible post so my point actually had a lot to do with the original quote which might have been lost in your smugness ?

What was smug about my post? It is perfectly normal to have 3 days in between matches. League games are often scheduled that far apart. We usually have to do that between League Cup matches and Premier League matches. So I'm not sure why it's such a big deal for FA Cup matches and why the club has to 'have these FA twats' because of it.

Instead of responding to my point, you talked about something completely different and tried to chuck in an insult because I no longer live in the UK. Good work.

Furthermore they have a league game the same day (albeit in Burnley and not in London).

There is no reason whatsoever to why we can't play on a sat, its always the same with these clowns at the fa, anyone with a brain would have done it, doesn't make any difference. And their excuse is the marathon so what

West end is good but the 23rd is my mother's birthday and she'll be staying with me, so I guess I'll just have to pray for a win and hope to get a ticket for the final.

Like i wrote above , the fans should seriously boycott this shit

For me to get to the game would double air faires alone, never mind hotel costs .

So let me get this right , on a day when London has a big world event , the Marathon , they want thousands of non locals on the streets having a raucous time singing songs of rag degredations ??


@Mr Bond , i guess you have no idea what it is like to try and see City live on a regular basis and still try to get to work and earn some crust ?

I take your point Hazy but we only get 3 days with Wembley being on Sunday. Barca beat PSG last week but lost to Deportivo 3 days later. If we get extra time it's a killer. Also we play away at Boro on the Saturday I.e. 3 games in 6 days. I've never been one for conspiracy stuff but I do think this schedule is aimed at hurting us.

aaron bond from Singapore .....

So your coming over then ? and yes the FA have shafted us on two fronts !!! 3 days after a semi final on a huge Wembley pitch isn't sufficient rest time and the PL game has huge significance so the only logical decision the FA should have made was to give us the Saturday fixture at Wembley , Oh by the way you referred to me as a thick cunt to which I can assure I am not and the Singapore thing was a touch of manc humour obviously lost on you , get a fucking grip !

Why does it take the FA till Friday to announce when the games will be played after having a draw on a Monday night. There were 4 teams in a draw , not that many different combinations possible to have worked out that they can justify it taking longer than Wednesday to announce.

They waited until after Monaco. If we had got through we would have had a game on the Wednesday just before Wembley weekend. This would give them the chance to put us on at Wembley on the Sunday.. But, as we lost to Monaco, they can now put us on at Wembley..........on Sunday. True story.
