City v Arsenal semi-final pre-match thread

[Blue warrior]

I'll see you there (:

Yes Zin, we get there about 11:30 to the green man I think happy days pal :)

Is the Kings Head still open at crown point? Just asking

Was a sort of rag guy pub with Laws image swinging outside.

Most of the pubs in Denton were City,particularily The Windmill, The Dane Bank, The Church Inn & The Fletchers.

My old man launched the first City Supportes Club in Denton.....big City strong hold when I lived there in '76.

Pep writing for tomorrow's match programme: "I arrive here with Manchester City hoping to make new memories for our fans

CBL3 will be delighted, he wouldn't want to be raising expectations too high though or they'll be looking for new hips off him as well!

 

[Benarbia]

Fingers crossed for a big performance tomorrow. Wonder if they have one eye on Thursday

 

[PinkFinal]

Anyone heard which strip we're wearing?

Already booming here, I'll give you a tinkle when I'm there (:

Nike Special "Fan rip-off" FA cup semi final strip. Basically a white bin bag with polka dots drawn on in pink marker and a sticker of the old badge, £89.99 a pop.

:) Presumably the home kit, the shoulders on the away clash with Arsenal's home kit. Hopefully not that abomination of a third kit.

I hate that third strip, I wasn't too keen on the glow-in-the-dark of last season but it grew on me - this current third strip has gotten worse (in my eyes) whenever I see it.

At least the glow in the dark one had a funny song.

Willy
Zab
Kompany
Otamendi
Kolarov
Dinho
Silva
De Bruyne
Sane
Sterling
Aguero

I would go with that. But its not really a "build from the back" defence so I expect Bravo to start and wouldnt be surprised to see Kolarov at centre back.

Come on city. The Tarquinius are vulnerable.

Let's smash them into the ground and show Chelsea what we are all about in the final....

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Wish I was fortunate enough to be there with the 33,000 lucky Blues who will be, but I'll be there in spirit!

All the best to those of you heading south and happy travels!!!

 

[jrb]

On the way!

 

[RandomJ]

I just want us to turn up. I don't want this to be another game where after we have Pep saying "We forgot how to play". Every player goes out there giving it there all we win this easily.

 

[@BluePhil8]

On the way!

Looks nice that mate.

Season comes down to this match today and United on Thursday. Cement a final and a top 4 spot and we can look forward to building next season. Only 2 wins will do.

 

[vmsuhail]

Confident of winning this trophy. Last year we beat Everton and Liverpool to win the League Cup. This year we will beat 2 London teams Arsenal and Chelsea to win the FA Cup.

Hope all of you going today have a great day, I am sure you will do our club proud.
