I guess it depends how long they want them away from home, it could be argued that it would be best to go straight to Kiev from London too, then stay in London after Kiev, then maybe the night after the cup final, and then we have Liverpool away in the PL, do we just go straight there from London too ?
Its a nightmare set of games, and we started it with 13 fit outfield players, 4 of which have played today.
Well we expected it didn't we. Only clappers thought we had a chance with that team.
Caballero and MDM were truly shite but will no doubt be defended by some on here.
The kids did great. At least they looked like they gave a shit, apart from I hate to say it, Brandon Barker who also looked like he couldn't give a fuck. Don't think I saw him sprint whilst he was on. He waltzed round like a big time Charlie. I was really excited to see him in a real game but was left bitterly disappointed.
Sorry mate, your lack of punctuation leaves me speechless. People like you have been whinging all season about the lack of youth. And when you get it, and for good reasons, you continue to whinge. Grow a pair.
He was the kid I was most excited to see and ended up being the one I was most disappointed with. His body language was awful. Looked like he was in a right moody and couldn't be arsed.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but we should have found a way to do it, at least to give them some experience, though by the sounds of it (didn't see it), they all stood up to be counted, one's got his first goal on his debut, and another has marked that dirty tw@t Costa admirably, so perhaps they will have learnt a lot today, by being thrown in the deep end. I hope we don't waste that, by not using them again, I'd give a couple of them a seat on the bench on Wednesday, or next Sunday, as a reward, and we have 6 spaces, so it can't hurt.Playing some of the younger players a bit earlier in the season may have helped a bit but no one could have predicted injuries like this.
It was Barker who sprinted the length of the pitch to get back & stop Chelsea getting the 6th.
I m not the manager mate and thats not the point.
The point is the way that this club works is underachieving !
And its not only managers fault ...Txiki and Mubarak are to blame too .
Not really a shock is it mate, they love the cocky rentboys and the rag fucks, just watch them have a sausage bashing party if the rags scrape past the mighty shrewsbury tomorrow, i dont even read the tabloids or watch the news anymore I may asweel just poor a bag of shit directly into my head, I even watch all games on the foreign channels so I dont have to listen to the bunch of pricks.All the news channels having a rentboys wankfest,chelsea put 5 past manchester city it was against a team of kids for fucks sake.
Never mind, they'll be grateful for your encouragement.
I think the club were bang on today, we didn't show disrespect to the cup the FA and BBC did they can stick their FA cup right up their arse as far as im concerned, we've been on the end of bullshit decisions all season, even if we did put a full strength whats the odds the ref wouldnt have give some bullshit penalty or dodgy decision like actually happened in tonights game, the players would have been fucked by the time we play the dippers on sunday. I for one enjoyed watching the youngsters give it a good go, and if it wasnt for the early second have goal who knows how it would have gone. Chin up blues we got to see some good youth prospects today and we fucked off BBC win win for me.
These days he's old, bald and can't stop a thing...Is joe corrigan still registered player worth the a quick phone call to check
He's currently working his notice.
Give over.Could this game be classed as match fixing ? Genuine question
To be fair I was gutted when I knew it was going to be on at 4 on the sunday, I wrote the game of then so im not so disappointed tonight, and lets face it do you in all honestly think this FA would let us win everything ? if it looked like we was going to I think we would see a lot more strange decisions against us, not that I think the FA are bent :)Gutted to be honest but totally agree with this. The minute the draw was made it was made clear that we could play a decent side Friday or Saturday.....but no of course it had to be Sunday 4pm an absolute clusterfuck yet again. Have the TV Companies and the FA not got any fucking intelligence at all. So good on City and whilst dissappointed to have to in effect throw a game and go out of a great competition, I really dont see what choice there was. It has once again devalued the competition but not Citys fault it is down to the fuckwits at the BBC and the FA.
