You've got to be confident with that draw.
Haven't you?
Well........pleased with non PL club but our record against NE clubs in the FA Cup is crap. I can remember losing to Boro in the early 70's and twice in the 90's. Lost to the Geordies in '75 when it was switched to Maine Rd and then under Horton away in the 90's and of course the 1955 cup final. Lost that '73 replay to Sunderland and bloody hell we needed a replay against Hartlepool under Royle!!!!! Have we ever beaten one if the NE big teams?
On that optimistic note, Happy New Year!!!
We beat Boro up there in the FA Cup in one of Mancini's first games.
We also won at Newcastle 3-1 fa cup 77,and beat Newcastle at Wembley league cup final 76.

what happened with city against Wednesday for a long period Wednesday were 1-0 up did your players just not turn up for the first half?.
We are expecting a tough game against you, you will probably do what Wednesday did for the first 20 mins but we will not make the same mistake twice, Pellegrini has learned his lessons after Sunday...we hope
We said that after the Watford game last year, then drew Wigan !

We will play the same system as we do every week we don't change the system the reason being it works we rarely conceded its a 4,2,3,1 formation
..........................dimi.........................
freind.....ayala...........gibson.......omeruo
............. leadbitter....clayton......................
reach........vossen/bamford.........adomah
kike/bamford

leadbitter and clayton main job is to protect that back 4 while the wingers and cam supports kike or bamford upfront its a system that keeps it tight so i dont believe we will change it even if shef wed had success doing it another way.

i'll take that. any home game is a blessing.
I wanted an away game, I need the points
I wanted an away game, skint so no cup scheme payments taken plus I could get rid of an away ticket to top up my 21k points:)
If it's at home I have to pay for the tickets
If it's away the kids pay for their own

They win this time
