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

This will be our 22nd time playing at ‘the new’ Wembley since the the semi against United in 2011!
24th time if you count the away games against spurs.
2 trips to Wembley a season average in the last 12 years! It’s great being a blue!

Done them all, City at wembley, dreamt we would play there for years, so will never miss, health and money allowing

I hope the club will do the right thing and allow them to play.

We can't. It is against the rules.

Harwood bellis didn't play on Saturday.
Not sure if he was injured but team news on sky said he was ineligible. So either rules were he couldn't or city said no.
So either way mcatee and Doyle won't play

He couldn't play as it's against the rules. Same reason the other 2 won't play in the semi.

That's my take on it. Put I know people have been saying the rules state if city allow.
But we didn't allow bellis so we won't allow the 2

Those are the old rules. The new rules for this season state that they can't play.

Just booked the train before the prices go upward. Come on City !!

No doubt they will be on strike

Been told London marathon same weekend as the semi finals so trains hotels probably be busy.

I think the issue is, are the players on “temporary” loan or on something else. It sounds like they are “temporary”, seeing as City and the FA have confirmed they are ineligible. Just because the loan period lasts a season doesn’t mean it’s NOT temporary, I would guess.

It’s all moot though, and I’m glad because I want us to win and the fewer choices they have the better.

Those are not this season's rules (as he goes on to realise later on in the thread). This season's rules state that they cannot play.
