Very disappointed by this outcome, having been to both FA Cup games so far, and thoroughly enjoyed them, I now feel I wasted my money on them. I'm not convinced that the draw for this tie wasn't somehow 'fixed' in the first place, amazing that we were the first 2 balls out of the bag, but above all, the date its now been allocated is ridiculous for City, and very favourable to Chelsea.
We have to give priority to the League, CL, and Capital One Cup final games for me, so I won't be bothering with it.
City should make a considerable protest about it, in the right way obviously, but to definitely include playing a very weakened team, its just ridiculous we can be treated like this by the BBC and the FA, but its no great surprise.

Don't you think putting all our eggs in the CL basket is extremely risky? BTW I am equally as outraged and disappointed as you say and agree the FA Cup draw was rigged.... us v Chelski and rags v Shrewsbury....? Do me a favour.
If we put an under strength team out against Chel$ki and lose, then IF the first eleven get turned over in Liev, a not altogether unlikely prospect, then the first eleven come back injured, knackered and gnerally fucked and lose to the Red Dippers at Wembley that's our season more or less over. Out confidence will be on the floor and we will struggle to recover.... and all because we prioritised Kiev. Would be a disaster... don't you think?
Would much rather go full on with a full strength starting eleven v Chel'$ki and pick the most suitable and best eleven v Kiev taking into account The COC Final on Sunday with the priority being to win at Wembley.
Then take it from there, including the return leg v Kiev. I would hate for our season to be finished before March.

It makes a huge difference. It's literally all about the extra 24 hours rest on tired limbs.
and then the additional injuries that are sustained due to lack of recovery

If they change their minds and give us a Saturday slot - a defeat in Kiev on the Wednesday would give them a field day. Roll with it City, it could be worse.
Fair enuff!Errr no.
