it is getting quite pathetic and raggish some of the ditch the domestic cup comments that have appeared on this forum as title wins have built up.

I am gutted everytime we go out of the league and FA Cup, these are cherrished trophies us older berts only dreamed of for decades and no one should take them for granted

There's only four trophies you can win every year, there's no guarantee we'll retain this level of success forever (and chances are there will be a turn in the cycle even if I doubt we'll see the dark days again), and none of us are on the planet for that long. I'm as greedy as you, win as many as we can while we're able to.

I wasn't there but I remember listening on the radio at home. I was so upset I ran out of the house. Mum found me a mile up the road. That game and the cup final 1981 was probably the most I've been upset over City. After that I got used to all the disappointments.

Absolutely . We wasted 35 years without a sniff of a trophy and yes while we made the best of it and had some laughs im making he most of every second of our recent success. I was amazed when the bloke who has the seat next to me at the ground and is the same age, said he couldn't be bothered going to a league cup final. After no success fir so long why would you miss out now?
 
There has to be some rotation, some players need to get match fit again, so this and Wednesday‘s game give Pep the perfect opportunity.
The funny thing is the defence looks really strong!
I think we’ll win this comfortably - 3-0 to us.

Akanji
Laporte

Exactly ... you should treat every City cup final or title-winning game like it's the last one you'll ever see. One day it will be.

I’d start Gomez, if he can’t perform we may as well fuck him off to a CFG club.

Our best defender and always should start, sure he would agree but then chelsea don't really have any attack of note so resting him for this would be sensible in auch a cramped fixture list

I’m so desperate for us to have a decent left footed left back that I think we need to make a call on Gomez, if he isn’t going to be trusted or good enough then why waste a squad space on him, pretty sure we could find a left back in the Jan window that would do 6 months for us.
