Re: City's histoey in semi-finals.

you not supporting us when Liverpool dumped us out a year or two ago?

Shit,I forgot about the 2 legged League Cup semi's.
How far back in the FA Cup since a semi final defeat??

We've been in 11, won 9. Last defeat in 1932 to Arsenal at Villa Park.

Nice one,Skashion.
So it is over 80 years ago since we got beat in an FA Cup semi final.
Seems that the Football Gods smile on us if we get this far in the FA Cup.

But this cannot be correct, since we have no history, Well according to some.

We also lost to Liverpool in the 1980 / 81 League Cup semi final.

Very contentious game at Maine Road, lost 1-0 but the ref disallowed a Kevin Reeves goal for a reason only he will know why.
Lost 2-1 at Anfield after playing them off the park. My first trip to Anfield and the pleasure of having the coach bricked on the way out.

2 x Full Members Cup Northern Semi Finals - one won on Penalties and one beaten just before penalties. Or the Northern Final we won which was in effect the semi.

And even the 1932 game ended with a dubious goal in the dying minute and 1924 was noteworthy as it was Meredith's last game.

Here's a great film connected with the 1932 game: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.britishpathe.com/video/the-hardest-of-hard-luck/query/manchester+city" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.britishpathe.com/video/the-h ... ester+city</a>

Pathe also have coverage of many of the semis and well worth looking through.

The 1934 FAC semi v Aston Villa saw City equal the record score in a semi-final - 6-1.

How many fans on here went to the 1932 defeat? Are they still moaning about it?
