City v Sunderland Pre Match Thread (CoC Final)

[Deleted member 58678]

We are a miles better team. Not one of their players would get into our squad, never mind our team. We have a team full of experienced internationals who have played at wembley and the biggest arenas in the world. I am totally convinced the players will be correctly motivated and correctly organised by the manager. A nice big pitch and for the first time this season we should have our strongest eleven on the pitch. A nice weeks rest, too.

Everything is in our favour.

I expect us to win and I wouldn't be surprised, should we get our usual good start, to see us do it by several goals. I believe Silva is going to run this game for us and I believe Vinny is going to be lifting the first, but not the last, trophy of this season.

I pray and hope you're right. I'm still a little uncertain but I think that's just me talking. I worry a lot.

I'm going down too - 539 is where I'm sat - so a happy drive home would be just what I need.

I don't think recent performances against Norwich or Stoke help with people's fears but I think those games and last season's FAC final are exactly what we need as focus and motivation for Sunday.

I have tickets in club wembley. Can anyone advise if I'm ok with club scarf?

I'm in CW also. I phoned my mate this afternoon who supports Bradford and he was in CW for last years final against Swansea.
He says a scarf is OK. He did say that you may want to put it in your pocket when you go in but wearing during the game is no problem.
I'm taking my scarf (and City crested woolen gloves!) and I don't think there will be any problem.

I was in club Wembley for the Wigan final and walked in wearing my scarf. No problems. the Rule is simple 'no club shirts'

It was a 50/50 split support wise where we were. Not my finest hour when Wigan scored!

Well 19 players fit, only 11 on pitch plus 7 subs means one fit player has to miss out. I will go for Rodwell missing out.

Normally for any big game I am a bag of nerves but I too am really confident in the build up for this one. I think we are in for a comfortable win on Sunday.

Hopefully we can go back in May and play Sunderland again, who will hopefully wipe the sneer of the ugly mug of Steve Bruce and then cause an upset in the semi by knocking over the winners of the Everton and Arsenal Quarter final in the semi.

I think the training report said 19 plus keepers so 3 will miss out.

I reckon we may be looking at

Pants, Zab, Clichy, Kompany, Demichellis, Yaya, Fernandinho, Silva, Nasri, Aguero Negredo

Hart, Lescott, Kolorov, Garcia, Navas, Milner, Dzeko

Boyota, Richards and and Rodwell will miss out.
