FA Cup Semi-Final | City v Chelsea | Sat 20 Apr 5:15pm SOLD OUT

[Eccles Blue]

MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.
Enough said? ;-) :-)

If we do get to both cup finals, I bet there will be a fair few city fans who have a week in London

I couldn’t think of anything worst.

Is the semi final the weekend AFTER we play Madrid at home on the Wednesday? If so then surely we want the Sunday game? As the only team in the fa cup semis and still in Europe we should get the consideration, but we never do

Yes it’s the weekend after the Madrid second leg.
The downside to playing Chelsea on the Sunday is that means less rest before the Brighton game which will more than likely be played the following midweek. Brighton have 10 days without a game before that - they’re out of the Europa and their game against Chelsea on SF weekend will now be postponed.
Depends how big a priority the FA Cup is compared to the title.

The Cole palmer media wankathon has died down slightly recently. Something tells me it’s about to be cranked into overdrive!

Why are you slagging Cole Palmer? He never wanted to leave City but Pep wouldn’t guarantee him the playing time he was looking for. He went on to Chelsea and good luck to him. City received a decent transfer fee.

City have lost many other good players in recent years including Jason Sancho, Douglas Luiz, Pedro Porro, etc. and received decent transfer fees.

Both semis would have been perfect for Villa Park.

So much for the FA saying they'd go back to neutral grounds after a few years paying off the wembley debts.

Greedy cunts.

Yes, you're agreeing with me but it sounds like you're not!

That wasn't my intention. My apologies if that's the way you've taken it.

Fuckin Coventry getting the easy draw. :-(

A certain individual on here will be in a quandary on that day. Who to cheer for.

A chance in a lifetime exists for pep and this squad of players after the unbelievable achievements of last season we find ourselves heading into the final stretch with us still in with the chance of and I’ll call it a never to be done ever again double treble long way still to go in a sense but we have that chance ..

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

That wasn't my intention. My apologies if that's the way you've taken it.

All good. It's my internet brain and read everyone as wanting a scrap lol

How annoyed must Coventry be, they would have relished playing us out of the three, yet united and chelsea both wanted to avoid us.
