City v The Rags (merged)

Re: City v The Rags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I take it I'm the only one gutted at this draw?

No it's fucking awful. Playing United between two Liverpool games is just stupid, it doesn't matter who you are. And doing it all without Yaya? Shudder at the thought to be quite honest. We could end there season or we could reinvigorate it. What we needed here was a super easy draw to play academy lads and third string to keep the main lads good for Liverpool. Though if push comes to shove I'd rather drop out of the CC and retain the FA Cup.

normally delighted to get them at home, but isn't January looking very congested now?

City v The Rags!

I reckon we will be able to keep Yaya until after we've played the scum, acon doesn't start until the 21st Jan.

It doesn't help our fixtures a Draw like this, but its part and parcel of being a top side and thats something we have all waited a long time for. Rough with the smooth. We need to embrace it and stick it to them and finish their season in January.

Re: City v The Rags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its all well and good saying we have United in the 3rd round but look at our fixture list now for January.. F*** me!!

01 January 2012 15:00 A Sunderland Barclays Premier League
03 January 2012 20:00 H Liverpool Barclays Premier League
07 January 2012 H Manchester United FA Cup
11 January 2012 19:45 H Liverpool Carling Cup
16 January 2012 20:00 A Wigan Athletic Barclays Premier League
22 January 2012 13:30 H Spurs Barclays Premier League
25 January 2012 19:45 A Liverpool Carling Cup

I would imagine a reserve team will be played for both teams, cannot see United and City putting out a full squad in the 3rd round.. especially with our fixture list and both teams title hopes.

Mancini will have to choose between choosing his best team for Liverpool in the CC or United it seems. Joke that they're so close to each other.

Re: City v The Rags!

The best and most successful teams always play the most games.
This is where the depth of squad comes to the fore.

City v The Rags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another good thing, Van Perise will not be cup tied for this match.

Re: City v The Rags!

Worst draw ever, for the rags. If they could pick anybody I think we wouldve been last on the list. The only reason I could have my doubts is if they beat us in a tough month it could take the edge off that 6-1. Plus if we only win 5-1 its a bit of a downer.

if we get through January unbeaten it would be amazing!
