FA Cup SF Draw | Sheffield United | Sat 22 Apr 16:45

[york away to this!]

We play a CL q/f 2nd leg a few days before and arsenal in the PL a few days after the FA Cup semi. Hopefully without tempting fate we can rest a few players against Sheff U and still win. Wouldn’t have been able to do that against anybody else

Perhaps we should recall our loanees...

 

[journolud]

All Manchester fa cup final I’d say then

Let’s hope not. Fulham and Brighon both capable of beating that shower and it would make a good semi final if they played each other

 

[jrb]

Surely City will allow them to play, they sent them on loan to get experience and this would certainly be good for their development.

No sentiment in football. If either score the winner, everyone will be pissed off. Sorry, we need to weaken Sheff United, not make them harder to beat.

 

[super yaya]

Do we play Saturday or Sunday ?

 

[malg]

Wigan.

Can those who are getting giddy..... please remember Wigan

 

[City Raider]

This will be framed as us denying them their dream

We’ve done that previously and lost. F*ck that! Play our best team, score a few goals, and make substitutions then. No fucking about this time.(Pep)

Should we allow McAtee and Doyle to play against us ?

If Sheffield United had signed that letter to CAS I’d say categorically, no!

But they didn’t so I think it would be harsh. However, selfishly we have the CL the midweek before and Arsenal in the Prem the midweek after so I’m going to say, sorry SheffUtd, we’ve got to take any advantage we can so, no.

 

[Impeccable One]

Rags win v Fulham we play Saturday.

Fulham win, we could play either Sat or Sun.

That was against Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool though not a Championship team.

Like yesterday where we made seven changes from midweek, there’s no way we won’t rest players against SheffUtd.

Scum have a Europa league on Thursday, so we will be Saturday…

With respect we’ve never played a championship team missing their best two players

Unless there’s going to be rumours doing the rounds that Pep has been sacked and the biggest crowd for one set of fans in a Wembley final had turned poisonous and the team were all over the place having heard the news… there won’t be any circumstances the same.

That’s if VAR helps them beat Fulham ..

Nope. Don't want those fuckers at Wembley in the final.

 

[There is a Light]

Let's deal with the semi final first, eh?

Need to start now though just in case

Loan players are not allowed to play against their parent clubs in the FA Cup, meaning that Sheffield United pair Tommy Doyle and Jamie McAtee will not be permitted to play against City.
