City v Sunderland Pre Match Thread (CoC Final)

[Mr. Aguia]

For Yanks . . . best I can tell, the final is not on TV in the USA . . . can that be right? Just listed as a Sirius XM radio game. Would hate to have to find a dumpy stream for a Cup final.

Man that totally blows if true. Amidst the number of channels that show footbal, there has to be ONE channel that will show it!!

WTF? Was really looking forward to watching this at the Mad Hatter.

Almost every team who gets to the Final are up for it. Exception was us.

On that big Wembley pitch, if we get it right we should beat Sunderland and they will be powerless to stop us. Whether we'll reach the standard we're capable of no one knows. But it should give us confidence, If we play to the level we are capable of we will win. Even Poyet would admit that

But that applied to the Wigan FA Cup Final. And it applied when Arsenal played Birmingham recently

powerless to stop us

Right now the BEIN schedule doesn't have it, and livesoccetv.com says it's not on save for satellite radio (and of course via BBC Radio Manchester from the OS).

However, worldsoccertalk.com says it will be on BEINSport. And I know I watched Swans v. Bradford last year, but it may have been tape delayed; I can't remember.

Unfortunately, usually livesoccertv. com is right though.

There's a long history of teams failing to turn up for the FA Cup Final:

Leeds v Sunderland
United v Southampton
Arsenal v West Ham, Ipswich
Liverpool v Wimbledon
Spurs v Coventry
Newcastle v anyone

We weren't up for it because of the Mancini debacle..... Totally overshadowed the entire day and ruined it for everybody... Players included

Blame Tyler and Co for that

Think it'll def be on BeIn, why hold the rights to the competition and not air the final?

I would probably play one striker up front and that would probably be Dzeko. I think it was just a bad miss against Stoke and he has contributed the most goals in Capital Cup on our way to the final, I think he scored in every game. Negredo isn't quite doing it for me at the moment and I assume Aguero won't be fit enough for the full 90.

Hope for a nice warm Spring day and Wembley bathed in sunshine. With the sun on their backs like France in rugby City play better.
