Reward outweighs the risk. If we beat them to get our 1st cup in 35 years, we will put to bed their most relied upon insult and they wouldn't be able to fall back on "well, you didn't beat us for it so we're still better" (you know they would). If we lose to them, it's just another year of them banging on about how we haven't won in 35 years. I can take another year of what we've all been hearing for the chance to shove it down their throats. I mean, come on, does any Blue still really get bothered over the 35 year comment? It's takes the fun out of mocking people when the people you mock actually make fun of the thing you mock them about. so 35 YEARS & WE'RE STILL HERE!!!!!
I say bring on the rags in the FA Cup. It would be so sweet to see the look on Sir Shitface at the final whistle with City winning it!!
