My favourite drink pre Wembley in the vicinity was the bar at the Ibis! Only because I met the legendary @Eccles Blue

I have stayed at the Wembley Ibis several times. The first time was for the League Cup Final against Sunderland. I ended up getting drunk after the match with a Sunderland fan from Durham. It was great to be able to socialize with opposition supporters.

That did not happen for our next stay at the Wembley Ibis when City beat Liverpool in the 1976 League Cup Final. We had to put up with sarcastic comments from the Liverpool fans pre-match about Joe Hart not playing. They were certainly not laughing after the match when Willy Caballero saved three penalties from Lucas, Coutinho, and Lallana. That put the smug bastards in their place!

Please would it be okay for us to win after extra time so most of the country are watching our free to air semi, instead of dipper celebrations on Sky. It means more

Knowing UK broadcasters , they'd probably cut away from our game to show the dippers celebrations, even if they don't have the rights

any chance the big man will play some part

I don’t think John Boy is back in training yet so I would say no! ;-) ;-)

 

[Kamikaze Blue]

Just remembering the 2011 semi. Everything came together after that game and we just got better and better. Hopefully a good win against Forrest will be the launch pad for a new winning era too.

Unbeatable. Haaland and Ferno on the bench.

1976???

Hoping they show us a lot of respect like they did at their place and that the occasion gets to them a bit.

'Most of the country are watching our free-to-air semi..', dear Harvster?!

That sort of thing really shouldn't be encouraged, especially prior to the '9'o'Clock Watershed' (..and on a Sunday!)

Perhaps in future you might want to consider your prose more carefully..(!!)

 

[mancityvstoke]

1976???

fairly sure it was Joe Corrigan in goal.....;)

 

[Ric]

Can't see there being many changes from Tuesday night. Possibly Doku, Savinho or Foden in for McAtee but that's about it. We seem to have stumbled upon a fairly settled back four, and Guardiola clearly trusts his most senior midfielders for the big games.

 

[Damocles]

Feels like their head has fell off a bit and they're stumbling to the end of the season at Forest.

The loss to Villa hurt then Everton did them and they got away with one at Spurs after getting absolutely battered the whole game.

If we knock them out of the FA Cup, with some tough games like Chelsea and awkward ones like Brentford coming then they could drop out of the top 5.

Theyve got away with a few this year, they got away with it against us also

Think we can do this if the occasion gets a bit much for Forest. Will be tight and tricky, though.

Doku on 70 mins if it's tight.

 

[shevtheblue]

Think it will be fairly similar to the last game, Forest don't give much space up so probably playing Savinho or Doku is a bit pointless anyway.

Decent of you to buy a tardis and fuck over 1970’s dippers as well as the 2000’s ones
