FA Cup QFs Draw - Swansea (A)

[Mancity1980]

Yep and we owe them one for the 1974 League Cup Final

If I could remember that I would be bitter and vengeful about it (like your good self I suspect! NB I feel the same about spurs and 1981!!!)

2nd lowest ranked side left can't really grumble currently 13th in the Championship. Same team as Newport we'll smash them.

Give over.

It’s not really is it. Yes, it’ll be a good contest and Swansea will be up for it but in the grand scheme of things it’s as good a draw we could hope for at this stage of the competition.

I know where they are in the table and that's why I'm actually not that delighted with the draw. If we think this will be an easy ride I think we're in for a shock. I've said it before but I think their coach will manage a good Premier League side in 3 years time and will make it tough for us. Of course we'll be huge favorites due to us having way superior players but I'm sure Potter will set them up brilliantly and we can't underestimate them.

Plus Bony is guaranteed to score.

He'll do well to hit the target from Qatar, he normally can't manage it from 2 yards.

Palace.

Tough draw that. Swansea are an excellently coached team and we might struggle if we aren't up for it.

Currently 13th in the Championship after 32 matches with 44 points, only 9 points off 6th place. A goal diffeence of +3 (42-39).
Presumably you're a glass empty type of supporter.
Good try, but you won't catch many with that.

All those years when we would have given anything for a cup run only to get tough draws

Now we’re handed Rotherham, Burnley, Newport and Swansea to get to Wembley? Christ, Stuart Pearce would have got us through that lot!

Well, the dreams of the quadruple were great while they lasted...

We don’t underestimate anybody. Not sure why you think that could be the case. Sounds like you need to have a bit of faith in team you support.
I imagine that Swansea will be a lot more disappointed in that draw than anybody involved at City.

I DONT THINK SO, the lads will be bang up for this. Another chance to hone their finishing skills.

Come on BLUES. no chance of a ticket I suppose
