So it doesn't look like the Capital One Cup vs Sunderland will be shown on any tv channels in the United States. How does everyone plan to watch it in the states? I can't believe out of all the tv channels available to us, it will not be televised for our viewing pleasure.

BEIN Sports

Great! I just recently added BEIN Sports to my subscription as there content is top quality (for me at least). Bluemoon posters to the rescue again.

This + 1. Thought I can't see Aguero starting after his layoff. Possibly coming off the bench after 60 minutes.

Haha! I know, there has been some headline making transfer news that has caught me out as well so far! Glad to see the ladies team is up and established and as much as I hope they do well, headlines like that need to be put somewhere else to save us from heart trauma!

Have a great weekend to all you lot attending, or staying back in Manchester to watch it. There will be a lump in my throat, and something in my eye as my team walks out alongside yours in a cup final.
The atmosphere will be carnivalesque and family friendly, 22 years since we have been there, and it will be enjoyed whatever the result.
Always had a soft spot for City, from wanting you to win the 1981 cup final, to the superb treatment we got on the last day of 1991.
I ask just one thing, feel free to win, but if possible, could you avoid humiliating us....,,

Have a great and safe journey, maybe see you in the FA Cup

Best Wishes to all going to Wembley on Sunday (City and Sunderland fans), hope it will be a great atmosphere and game for all, but ultimately a City win and Vinnie lifting the cup just like Mike Doyle did 38 years ago..

Best wishes for Sunderland in the FA CUP v Hull.
Ideal Scenario Everton beat Arsenal, Sunderland beat Hull, City beat Wigan and in the semi-finals Sunderland beat Everton and we beat the winners of Sheff Utd v Charlton and it's City v Sunderland all over again in the FA Cup final in May.

You think?

I'd be a lot more confident of beating Arsenal I would Everton

Maybe it's bad memories of Peter Walton

I reckon they would bring him back if we got everton at Wembley

It's all gone bust as the women's team suffering the same injury fate as the mens

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

You don't seem to be reading, I'll repeat again, I do think he's a great player and played brilliantly before his injury, but those 90 minutes against barcelona wasn't nowhere near his standarts, so I suppose players who are at the best form at the moment should start, and Garcia is in the better form right now.

Ofcourse he may still come on top but I would keep him as a potential atacking option on the bench.

Fernandinho not to start? Please tell me you are joking

He wasn't watching the same Barca match I was watching, I thought Dinho was our best player over 90 mins by some distance, only Silva came close. He was poor against Stoke but a weeks rest will see him right. Dinho, Merlin and Yaya first 3 names on the team sheet for me.

Think you missed a certain Vincent Kompany
