How many tickets have we sold?

Just stopped at Warwick Services and it felt like 10 rag wankers to every blue

They’ll be far more invested in going because relative to us over the past decade or so, a trip to Wembley is still a special affair. And, as is the case for any team these days, playing City for any reason—especially a weakened City so they have a better shot at winning—is their cup final.

It’s also worth noting that off the back of the riots that mostly took place in the North, many fans based in and around Manchester may have chosen not (or we unable) to go to the match, seeing the greater London based fans making up more of the numbers then otherwise would be the case.

Poor lad is going the way of another Jack of recent City history, unfortunately.

At least he was a big part of the treble before it happened!

There’s a reason City never have home pre season friendlies. They don’t want them. At anytime. And in particular when they’ve got ongoing construction.

Sensible and logical statements are not welcome on here.

Bozo's only,mods please act !!

He was the best and fairest ref, should get all our refs from overseas. Mind you I said Hooper was a good ref before the spurs game last season

I’ve been saying for years that referees should move around Europe, and officiate in countries other than their own.

Saw a 14 year old United fan on Twitter say the cup final was one of the best days in his life. There's a whole generation of lads who've never seen them win the league and who see us as giants where any win is an heroic, banter worthy achievement. This game is huge for them. It is genuinely a pre-season game for me. Nice to beat them, because it's always nice to beat them, but that's it.

What a fucking shame!

 

[Father Paul]

FFS! He's turning into a sick note Jack.

If he misses the start of the season it could spell the end of his City days. As we know he was starting to slide down the pecking order last season and now risks the only positive from been left out of the waistcoats squad evaporating. Hopefully this is a precaution and he will be down in London next weekend.

Are we sure there is no secret rag supporter planting poison tea bags in the dressing room? It does not make sense now how frequent players down before matches. Jack got injury suddenly after returning from states and one training session with other teammates. kev caught mysterious sick bug before real Madrid. Many more cases happened last season. Very rare before. By this rate it smells fishy.

Poor Jackie, get sorted quickly ready for next week. :-)
