As Delap got himself sent off, is he banned for this one ?

Seemingly not

 

[Damanino]

You all know Pep, youngster aint playing in this and.

Really good interview with Cheltenham manager Michael Duff, as I said earlier he seems a sound fella and has some interesting stuff to say about City as a club and as a group, as well as our fans

And another great interview with Tony Book’s nephew Steve, who is Cheltenham’s goalkeeping coach. A dodgy birth certificate, an elephant trunk table and the unlikely blue stronghold of Bath...

Manchester City great is just "Uncle Tone" to Robins coach

First competitive meeting between Robins and Man City is at Jonny-Rocks Stadium in FA Cup fourth round on Saturday

Obviously Cheltenham want to see our superstars on their ground, but we should not be risking Gundo, Foden, Berni Stones Diaz Cancelo. They’re a plenty of strength in depth in our developing players. Let them show what they can do.

I would find that unpalatably disrespectful to the cup if we did that ;)

Best bit of media I’ve read in a long time. Cheers for finding and posting

People advocating a strong EDS presence have obviously never watched a Pep team play in the FA Cup. He will play a very strong side paying opposition and the competition due respect as he always does.

Pep goes strong in cups, it'll be from the main squad with perhaps one fringe/youth player, but even then i doubt that.
If Jesus is fit enough he needs more game time
Torres & Mahrez & Mendy will start i think, as will Fernandinho.
If either Ake/Laport are fit, they'll play.

I expect something like this....

Steffen
Cancelo
Dias/Stones (45 each)
Laporte
Mendy
Dinho
Bernie
Foden
Torres
Mahrez
Jesus

Some really interesting stuff in there. Mad that we read better stuff about City behind the scenes in the Gloucestershire press than in the MEN
