City v Sunderland Pre Match Thread (CoC Final)

[OB1]

We've not bossed anyone at Wembley yet, the combination of a weeks break, Sunderlands hammering by Arsenal and their nerves and our passion to right the wrong of the FA Cup should all mean we win comfortably (hopefully)!!!

Bossed the FA cup semi last year for 75 mins.

And United, after the opening 20 minutes.

They say play the game, not the occasion.

I have to ask the question, would there be any doubts if Sunderland were playing Barca or Bayern this weekend at Wembley?

That's the current levels City are at and while the same could be said for Wigan, last year, it's clear there will be no excuses for us this time.

I have genuine affection for Sunderland fans and hope they stay up.

There's a fine line between arrogance and belief but I won't be surprised to see us get three or four, once the game settles down.

Didn't you say that we'd put 5 past Wigan?

Worries me every time I see you go gung-ho but you have to be get it right sometime ;-)

Sunderland appear to be quietly confident because of their recent record at the stadium of shite , they have beat us 1-0 on three consecutive occasions , but what they omit , is the fact they were absolutely battered in every game , they have rode their luck , and with our recent experience of wembley appearances (6 times in 3 years) we will play this like a home game . Sunderland dont travel well and if you take the last three lucky 1-0 wins out of the equation they have not beaten us for 15 years ,(W 13 D 2 L 0) but statistics dont win games , players win games , and our players are far superior to their ex yooonited journey men .

Hey I've travelled down to London without a ticket and I've given up hope of getting one but is there a pub that the MCFCSC London watch the game in that I can go to?

Thanks in advance,

From another thread:

It's a sobering thought that victory over Sunderland would boost our domestic trophy trawl by 10%.

I feel like the players owe us one after the FA Cup final last season. I hope they can level it up with us after that dross they served up in that game.

I'm well up for this. It might be the least important of the four competitions we're in but I'm fucking well up for this after last season. I am slavering at the mouth for trophies like a wolf after its prey.

Mackems, we are coming and we're not here for a day out. We mean business and we're not fucking about this season.

Richard Wright out with an injury ffs :( No chance now.

It's four consecutive games we've lost 1-0 there.

And in two of them we barely had a shot on target and barely troubled their 'keeper (our last two visits), we didn't absolutely batter them at all. I don't think they were lucky to win either of the last two games against us there. We were fucking shit both of the last two times we've been up there.

But we're not going up there. As you say, we're going to Wembley and we've been there a fair bit recently and won a fair few times. This will be my eighth trip to Wembley since the Summer of 2009 as I went to watch my rugby team, Wire, win the Challenge Cup in 2009 2010 and 2012 and I've been to the FA Cup semis and finals in 2011 and 2013 with City. It does feel like a second home to me!

As I've said in fucking hungry for this after last season and with their recent record against us.

Let's fucking do it!
