23 pages and I have to stop reading and ask:
Did we lose? Did we fucking lose? Did we, fuck?
Flappers gonna flap.

I thought he had a decent game too, but he does make idiotic mistakes nearly every game, 1 cost us tonight, another didn't. IF he could cut that out he's a very good back up, but its 3 years now, and he shows no sign of cutting it out sadly, when we're free scoring it doesn't mater so much, but when we're finding it hard to score it can make a difference to the result.Ah, someone who actually watched the game.
His wasn't the only error that cost a goal tonight though, the 'future captain' then made a stupid and needless tackle, compounding his mistake on Saturday, though I'm sure Pep will discuss that with him.

Yes. They played at a near optimal level andOk, that’s it! I’m sorry for experimenting with hallucinagens in my youth. But please may I come back to the real world now! “We STOLE it!”
We WERE the better team!
we weren't near our best, but the game could have easily ended up 4-1 and I don't think it would have flattered us. We played reasonably against a well organised and highly motivated side, and their goal was a product of two individual errors rather than us being bossed in any way.

Both Manga and Stones were poor tonight. For Stones, it was a blip. With Manga, it's been pretty representative of most of his City performances. I do actually have a soft-spot for Manga in the same way that I had one for Sun Jihai, both were completely out of their depth but I still love them.

It’s not criticism it is pure hate.Criticising players abilities and performances is one thing, accusing posters of racism quite another.

Back from the game and watched the recording. First off, well done Bristol City. Superb performance and your fans did you proud. We did well to get a win from going 1 down, once again we are determined not to lose - I love that from this team. Overall performance we were pretty much in control. We had loads of chances yet we didn't capitalise, but on a different day, we would have been well ahead. KDB easily MOTM, he really is a quality player, head and shoulders above anyone else on that pitch.
I haven't read the thread but I imagine Mangala is getting stick. After the game I was chatting with some Bristol City fans and even they were laughing at him. Enough said.
Play the best team in the second leg and it's Wembley here we come.

There really are some smacked arses on here. If I were just reading this board and didnt watch the game I would be under the impression that we were awful and were lucky to not have taken a hiding.
It was a cracking game of football, Bristol turned in a performance that not so long ago we would have been delighted with. Credit where its due to them, and I must admit to feeling a tad sorry for them conceding a winner so late having to a man run their bollocks off and defended fantastically well.
Lets have it right though City deserved the win, yes wasteful finishing and the considerable effort made by Alty Taylor probably did much to keep the tie alive despite Bristols fine efforts.
The shit being given out to some of our players is truly inexplicable. Clearly Yaya is finished and its hard to see Mangala cutting it..that said he has put in some decent shifts recently. The defence today would have kept a clean sheet were it not for a brainless tackle that would have had a Sunday manager at Hough end going ape and that was Stones. He probably needed these cup games before Liverpool and hopefully the couple of bollock drops are now out of his system.
Whats the moanfest about Sane. I thought Bristol defended well against him, closed him down quickly in numbers and blocked alot of his passes or shots. Sane is still a young pleayer with much to learn...he learned some of it tonight, but to say he was shit tonight is absolute nonsense.
Bernado seems to be taking flak, again a young player who probably hasnt come up against the kind of opposition he faced tonight. He didnt do bad tonight and his cross for the winner shows what he can do, again a player who may well take alot from this evening.
Gundogan might not have hit the highs he has reached in the past but the injuries have been a major inteference, he was frustrating tonight but hardly the donkey that some are making out.
As for Bravo, he did nothing wrong tonight and like a few have said has played very well when called upon this season.
Just maybe the manager who is desperately trying to do the near impossible and winning all that we are in for picked a team good enough to make sure we go both into the second leg and Anfield in the best shape to remain unbeaten in the League and secure a Wembley Cup Final over the next couple of weeks and should be trusted a little more by some of this parish!
Hard to believe that we just won a first leg of a semi final and as a result will go to the second leg with the advantage despite being away and people are moaning as if we had just dropped points in a relegation battle.
Pep knows the team are still learning, he knows that players must come in to keep improving the team and squad and I am sure he will be bringing those players in when he is able to and feels it is appropriate to do so.
Well done blues and well done Bristol for making a great contest of it.
