I guess it means different things to different supporters.

I personally regard it as a pre-season game and a chance to improve fitness. A win is a bonus, but I actually couldn't care about the result.

Rags and dippers tend to glorify their wins of the CS, and dismiss it when they lose.

You choose, but please don't generalise for all supporters.

I feel your frustration.

They'll be a point this season where Pep will once again say "Where are our fans? We need you to make the Etihad feel like a Galatasary home game"

If he does someone should direct him to whoever decided a fan base of passionate blues isn't the right "brand" for the club and give that **** a slapping.

The season ticket holders who decided not to go dictated that our end would be full of tourists.

That’s not a criticism btw. But you can’t really turn down a ticket to a game and then complain about who takes it up.

I get your point.

It's for another thread really to discuss.

I believe Arsenal are going to have a trophy parade before the forest game around Islington to celebrate destroying the famous Man City.

My views are probably a bit skewered by my pre match expectations but I had the impression watching it that we were just toying with them for most of the game.

It felt like one team were desperate to win and the other just working on getting a bit of football under their belts.

Obviously I’d have rather won than lost. But when we are putting together 12 or 14 game winning streaks at the end of the season, whilst other teams are completely spent, then I look at days like this as the reason we’re able to do that. And I know which I’d prefer.

Similar view - I was expecting a lot more from Arsenal and thought they'd stretch us a lot more than they did. Liverpool gave us a much tougher game in last year's game. I was encouraged by how easily we dealt with the Arse.
 
Plenty of bellends in our end, specifically the lower tier behind the goal, on Sunday.

You knew what sort of crowd it was going to be, you knew about the boycott, you knew and could see around you that there were a lot of children and families in areas they wouldn't be for a cup final or important game.

Why spend all day disrespecting people who aren't standing up, calling them not real fans and genuinely being nasty, vile and abusive to them? And I was one of those who you were targeting because I had my wife and son with me, and I'm a better fan than you who were clearly smacked off your tits from the powder with your man bags.

We have an element of idiots within our support, which I suspect most clubs do, that just want to pile into the same row as their mates and be a general nuisance to all around them. I've seen it all before but there were a lot of young kids, tourists etc. in our end on Sunday and it looks unwelcoming and quite pathetic.

Grow the fuck up.

I suppose Wembley’s got to be paid for somehow, so it’ll always be Wembley.

If one game that never sells out makes the difference to Wembley's viability, the FA have bigger problems than we think.

International games get played in the province's, so why not the occasional CS.

There is NO justifiable reason that stands scrutiny....It's pure BOLLOCKS that we're all to lazy to challenge.

Viva 1894 and the BLACK FLAG BOYCOTT !!
