FA Cup 3rd Round Draw | Chelsea (H) | 4:30pm, Sun 8 Jan

[paulchapo]

so you think Chelsea will beat us?

They should have beaten us in the league cup but for a worldie from our keeper.

This is embarrassing, rags are taking the piss because we haven't sold out. Apparently there's loads available.

I was genuinely offered an entire hospitality box for free for 10 their last Europa game, none of them wanted to go and they assumed I would snap up the chance to watch a game at the leaky, rat-infested dump where Douglas Bader would grumble about the legroom
I said yes but I may well H Block dirty protest it like “a dog called Rover’
“Don’t be like that mate”
“If it bothers you that much, hang a flag in the Stretford End complaining about it you red shithouse”

Definitely one of the best sides of the late 70s/early 80s, under the leadership of that gentleman of the game, Bobby Robson.

Lacked the snideness and professionalism of ‘the boot room’ and their 70 backpasses a game

We missed loads that day as well tbf, they only really had a go the last 15 or 20

I think the next thing perhaps is to have a seeding system for future years in rounds 3 and 4 to avoid this situation.
Maybe not all the Premier league clubs but certainly the ones in European competitions.
We will no doubt put a 2nd string side out as will Chelsea so in essence your short changing the competition a little and the fans and some of the matches are rubbish.

Bollocks. That’s the beauty of the cup. You play whoever and wherever you are drawn.

A tricky game, and our record in cup competitions is pretty poor, apart from the league Cup or what ever it is called these days

Pretty poor?

Apart from the League Cup which City have won in six out of the last nine years.

Apart from the FA Cup which City have won twice in eleven years.

I suppose that City have been rubbish in the FA Trophy and the Full Members Cup for a while? I haven’t followed the recent winners of the Lancashire Senior Cup or the Northern Counties Cup?

Cup competitions, F.A. Cup and champions league, our record in them has been poor, so what's your point?

I said we did well on the league Cup, and you think twice in 11 years is good in the FA Cup? Losing a final to ficking wigan, a semi to Arsenal a semi to Chelsea, a champions league final in the same season to Chelsea, a semi champions league to spurs and the dippers knocking us out of champions league, we have been disappointing in Cup competitions
