FA Cup Semi-Final | City v Chelsea | Sat 20 Apr 5:15pm SOLD OUT

[Stephen230]

I don’t want to put a dampener on things but people seeming to think Chelsea is a gimme, maybe have short memories of Guardiola’s record in FA Cup Semis.

Won: Brighton, Sheff. U.

Lost: Arsenal, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool.

On the plus side we won’t have Steffen chucking them in.

But it’s a competition he very much treats as the third priority at this time of year.

That said, even the weakest City side should be good enough to give the best Chelsea a good run for their money, so I’m still hopeful.

I'm amazed that we haven't had the usual suspects on saying they won't be attending due to costs,kick off time , travel arrangements, bored of going to Wembley and fear of the Chelsea headhunters.

Give it time pal!

let us play all 3 of them back to back on the same day and we’ll still win it. CITY

I was meaning more the players than the fans, the fans obviously want to be at the final, the players would relish playing against the best players in the world.

And instead they get the rags. Shame ;)

With Real Madrid on the Weds night we badly need to be in the Sunday semi final. That extra day will make a hell of a difference.

One would hope/expect the club to push for this. Neither Coventry or United have any European commitments unless they write a song, so if there's any common sense we will be the Sunday game

Remember the 2022 debacle 3 days after the Athletico 2nd leg when we fielded a half arsed team and found ourselves down 3-0 at half-time and effectively out of the Cup.

Latest odds for the cup,4/6 us 5/2 the rags,6/1 Chelsea and 33/1 Cov.

That wouldn’t take that long

No guarantee it will be the Sunday.

Last year we were the 2nd game out of the hat in the draw (like this time... Not that I think that means anything! ), we'd played away in Bayern on the Wednesday (Madrid home this time), and we still ended up playing on the Saturday.

Last year our game had to be on the Saturday.
United v Brighton could only be on the Sunday because the rags had a Europa League game on the preceding Thursday.
