Liverpool FA Cup s/f (N) | Post Match Thread

I'm talking about the present and specifically about chances of a potential move to a "BIG" club. Nothing about his contributions to this club or country. You're paranoid and reading into things I never said.
So you are saying that a big club wouldn't want him now..even though he's still under contract and can't move.
I'm not paranoid but you are a strange poster..I'm sure I'd Sterling was playing for the dippers you would be bigging him up
 
compare and contrast to 1981 and 2011 semi finals, it shows how our fanbase has changed, yesterday was just soul destroying, our end had about 33000 in it, and you could literally hear a pin drop. The whole thing was a massive waste of time and money. The FA should be ashamed of their pricing policy, and it's a big ask to expect supporters to pay up to 120 quid for a single ticket and see City light trot out. The FA have foisted their expensive club wembley tickets onto normal fans because they are too dear, i think it will be the game the breaks the camels back for City fans going to wembley for semi finals, with a stellar line up it's vastly overpriced, with the ressies it's a waste of money
 
I was told by a scouser I used to work with last night on facebook that all City fans are a fuckin disgrace and I should be embarrassed

I'm fuckin fumin but I've not responded yet as I might say something I regret

Why should I be embarrassed by 50 or so pissed up bellends that I don't know and don't represent me,,,, and who may or may not have totally grasped what was going on

Also, it's gone totally un-noticed that the ref abandoned the minutes silence when half the liveroool end started booing
Just tell them if we find the offenders we'll stick them on a coach and send it to klanfield. Just to make sure they're happy with that we'll let Merseyside police organise it.
 
They showed umpteen replies of the first two goals on the concourse and I watched them waiting to se the third but it never appeared. Konate had a run up so beat Ake who was jumping from a standing postion.

I didn't have you down as a kick the door type :-)

I've been living in exile in S.Oxfordshire for over 30 years now so we got home fairly quickly.
Ever since Wednesday night I had been saying that the first 20-25 minutes would be really tough but if we came through them unscathed we'd be OK. The corner came over and was put in and all you're left with is a series of impressions and my reaction was to curse the collapse of my "plan" before we'd played 10 minutes! Then it got worse.

Fortunately for City supporters everywhere the need to kick doors is increasingly rare but there are two clubs which can still trigger the old urges. Unfortunately severely bruised, if not broken, toes mean that City will have keep on winning to protect me from myself.

Enjoy the rest of the season.

The problem is with these fuckers,if they don't get what they want or they don't like what they hear,they play the victim card....we all know that everyone knows that but because they are scouse not english(have you ever heard something as pathetic as that)they think they are immune to getting any grief...its like iam going to tell teacher if you don't stop picking on me....well I've got 2 words for you deluded horrible bastards FUCK OFF ........
They are the biggest hypcrites on the face of the planet, every fucker knows it but the press won’t say it cause the never our fault merchants just play the Hillsborough trump card, Hillsborough was shocking and a tragedy but shouldn’t mean the vile, scruffy vermin cunts should get away with everything they do but our press are cowards and won’t touch it with a bargepole these days.

Agree with this and aside from the ticket prices the whole setup is scandalous - £6.85 for a 500ml can of Budweiser should be illegal. But no wonder they refuse to move it.

Seemed to me that the lower tiers were full of Londoners and people that don’t normally go to games, which is expected I suppose after so many Wembley visits but it did mean a lethargic vocal support and songs hard to get going when those around didn’t know them.

I wonder whether regulars had opted to save money and were in cheaper seats than previously… 111 for example was full of tourists

Seemed loud enough in 109 but I suppose when you’re in the middle of it you don’t see the bigger picture.
 
Not going to criticize the fans who went yesterday. I didn't go.

But our 'vocal support' at Wembley has been getting worse since the high of beating United in the semi-final, and Stoke in the the final.

Not sure it's the amount of trips to Wembley, or just the general malaise of our support at Wembley.
 
Jesus was our best forward in both games vs Liverpool. If the other forwards did as well as him, we would have won both games.
Jesus was our only good forward in the CL final last season n’all.

In fact, you look at big games over the years, Gabriel Jesus very regularly turns up, works his bollocks off, often plays well, and often scores (yesterday two the formers were true but things just didn’t come off for him).

Over the last few weeks, Jesus has looked by far our most lively and hard working forward. He looks like he wants picking for the run-in.
 
Sorry, but some of you need to give you’re heads a wobble. 97 people went to a match and didn’t come home. Mainly kids, older folk who went early to get a decent spot to watch a match. If you can’t shut your face for a minute to respect those folk, there’s something seriously wrong with your moral stance.

doesn’t matter what team they supported, doesn’t matter that their clubs fans are the most entitled cultish babies in the world, doesn’t matter that the chances are that those indirectly and directly responsible for their deaths were there yesterday. The people that died deserve respect.

I went to the Swamp for the derby on the 50th anniversary of Munich. Everyone expected the City fans to disrupt the silence but every single one behaved perfectly and you could have heard a pin drop. Every. Single. One.

we were a fucking embarrassment off the field yesterday before the match and no amount of bad-mouthing the scousers for being utter pricks (and let’s face it, it’s not difficult is it) will make it ok to disrespect a group of people that could easily have been you or me that day.

What he lacks in guile he off sets a lot with effort. Always helps others around him when he makes himself a nuisance

I love the guy for his attitude, the ultimate top class pro, leaves nothing on the pitch at the end of the game, gives his all.

Sad that he is lacking that special something as a striker, if he was a consistent goal scorer he would be a magnificent player.

I went yesterday and for the first time in my life walked out of the stadium at half time. Pep is brilliant and is the best thing to happen to this club in decades but he must show the match going supporters more respect. Those players are on massive salaries, far greater than I could ever dream of. So please stop feeling sorry for them playing too many games. If they're fit they should play. My game attendance is dwindling but yesterday might well have brought it to a halt.
 
So then. City have become a sort of “Adopted “ team by myself as it’s my daughter who is the fan. My first team is forest and honestly the fans at the city ground make more noise than us city fans yesterday. I’ve been to the ethiad with her several times and the fans get behind the team there. Totally get why lots didn’t bother yesterday what with transport issues and the costs ,so I’ll blame no one for that. City fans behind the goal were fully behind the team,but in the corner near the front where we were, it was mostly half and half scarves and to my astonishment three people in front us were sat with nachos and then popcorn , yet had all the city merch on! I was stood up trying to get some passion going in my section,but no one wanted to know. at 3-2 when Foden came over to put a corner in there was none in our section on their feet cheering the team to try to get an equaliser. The city fans we’ve met at the ethiad have been great people, passionate about their team. I’ve no idea who loads of the people in the city end were yesterday. I think the hardcore were behind the goal and up on level 5. Those people are a credit to their club. Mahrez seemed to have plenty of fight and I’ve no idea why he didn’t start the second half. Could’ve been a different game. Loved the banners the city fans had at the start of the game as there are similar displays at the city ground. Even though forest are my team ( have my picture with the European cup from when I was 8), my daughter and me follow city as it’s her team. I’m just as vocal at the ethiad and was yesterday for city as I am forest,but came away seeing a disjointed team on the pitch possibly for reasons already discussed on here,but wondering who loads of the fans there yesterday actually are. City fans are normally an absolute credit to the team and Manchester. As for the booing. Small minorty of Morons at every club unfortunately. Onwards and upwards to brighton and Real Madrid. Hope everyone got home safe.

I dont understand how it wasn't made public beforehand. The first i heard of it was 20 seconds before it started. Saying that no excuse for chanting over it, if it was intended to upset. It was probably just the motivation the Littlepool players needed to race out of the blocks.
 
We have lost a fair few FA Cup semi-finals lately, I am surprised so many keep going. The FA making two NW teams trek down to London is also a bloody good reason for not going.
We live on a little island, and we live pretty much smack bang in the middle of it. Nowhere is that far away, we have no extraordinarily lengthy away trips at all.

London is just 3½-5 hours away, depending on traffic. I spend as much time in the pub before and after home games at the Etihad as I did on the coach to and from Wembley yesterday. My day out was the same length as it usually is for a City Saturday home game.

We have 7 away trips to London and a few even further than that in the Prem. A number of fans do every one of these and have done for years. And there are City fans who travel up to the Etihad from down South 19-25 times a season for every single home game.
