Wasn’t the idea floated of running special trains for the league cup final but it didn’t gather steam ;-) due to a lack of demand ? You always get a handful of people on these threads banging on about the late (?!) KO time being an outrage as they’ll struggle to make the last train from Euston...

I don’t think Khus has featured anything like enough to be a candidate. A few weeks ago I’d have said The Don, now it’s looking like a 3 way fight between him Bernie and young Nico Big Erl’s numbers are such that if he continues scoring his way out of what was for him a prolonged slump he’s...

Perfect kick off time and day Decent lie in Saturday morning, relaxed trip down, plenty of time for a bite to eat and a few drinks pre game. Then a whole day on Sunday to rest and recover from the fun. Credit where it’s due.

Btw …. hardest keeper ever …. not sure I think peak TC would have something to say about that !

Because, rightly or wrongly, I think the prevailing view of what constitutes a great keeper is first and foremost that he must be an exceptional shot stopper. I don’t think that’s a view that many City fans share because frankly we’re better informed than most other fans having seen close up...

Terry Phelan would’ve been the best left back the country had ever seen had he played under Pep

Or the 2 points that win us the title

I’m no fan of Gerrard but tbf to him I get the impression he can’t fucking stand Macmanaman either

The more upset Macmanaman gets the more he talks which puts me in a real quandary

I was confident that year but not as confident as I was in 88 The incredible unforgettable last minute equalisers against Huddersfield and Blackpool had my naive teenage mind convinced that our name was on the cup

Wasn’t the infamous new Platt Lane stand / pitch invasion / Terry Phelan goal an FA Cup quarter final ? That’s the one that still rankles with me. We had a good team that year.

Most of the away end seemed to be, never felt such blue on blue antipathy as at that game

We didn’t even make a semi final between those years, couldn’t even get within dreaming distance of Wembley And to think now we have a song joking about how many times we play there and we’ve won more games there (new Wembley) than any other club. Remarkable times

There won’t be a dry eye in the house if he can bid us farewell in his last game by leading us to cup final glory at Wembley. It would be a fitting end for the little man.

Added kudos if the 8 lads are all wearing black tshirts

Amen to that

Ake’s been amazing recently, particularly at Wembley. Arguably on his day he’s still the best centre half we have

Not angry at you pal, apologies if I misconstrued things.

No other fanbase has ever bought “loads in our end” so things will be ok as they always are Why is this nonsensical narrative of large groups of away fans marauding in our end perpetuated by blues on here every single fucking time we get to Wembley

I enjoy reading your posts Bigga but i respectfully disagree with you here. “Muted celebrations”, “body language” “hates playing Leeds” etc is open to interpretation. It’s far from an exact science. 2 goals in 3 games isn’t skewing the game data, it’s all the available game data albeit a very...
