Luton Town (A) - Tue 27th Feb, 20:00 | FA Cup | Pre-Match Thread

I can never understand why any blue would back against us winning.

They reckon it softens the blow if we do lose. I don't bet (on anything), but if I did, it wouldn't be against City. I'd see it as tainted money.

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. Come on City, come on City. Show ‘em lads, show ‘em all. Especially the Southern Soft Hats. Especially the biased know nowt alleged journalists and media wallies. Especially the Specsavers needing, stupid, laughable fudge nugget, shiitake mushrooms with their heads buried in the dirt, who pretend to be officials but are colour blind and only see red shirts! You foolish nincompoops you don’t seem to recognise us? We are MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD!

Come on John Boy, don’t get injured. It’s your turn to be first in the MOTM Stakes!! ;-)

Wow wasn't expecting that team but Pep loves the FA Cup and rightly so.
Hopefully we come through unscathed.

17-0 to city.

Yes Stones should be rested too.

The other side, says Stones and KDB need game time to help with match fitness.

 

[jimharri]

That's the spirit.

He's not a very frequent visitor, so I wouldn't pay him much heed.

 

[alexmcity]

Yeah, I'm surprised to see him in the side. An injury in this game would be disastrous with the next two PL games in mind. Indeed, the month as a whole.

Kevin has played 15 minutes the last 10 days. He needs match practice to be and stay fully fit.

How long before they mention our £300m subs bench and how Luton got al their players from Aldi and the finacial gulf ? Very strong team as expected by Pep , Luton will huff and puff but there is plenty in that starting eleven to go through to the next round. Would like us to knock a few goals in so we can go into the Rag/Dipper games in good shape.
Good decision to rest Rodri & Foden they have been immense this season and bigger hurdles to come so we need them fighting fit , i will jinx it and forecast a 4-1 win for God's own team

I agree, Jim. If I'd followed my gut instinct over the years I'd have made some good money betting on us getting beat, but i just can't do it.

It’s a risk and one I hope doesn’t backfire. He can get injured in training or the match against the rags anyway but if he comes through tonight it will give him and pep confidence for the next games you mentioned.

Phil also deserves the recognition for his performances this season. Haaland not scoring and Kev in and out he has delivered.
