When? Walked back to the station after the game, plenty of police by the pubs and around the station and I didn't have any issues. On the 1503 back to Manchester with no mither

What a pleasure to read Louise Taylor"s match report on the Guardian/Observer website...
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/mar/11/middlesbrough-manchester-city-fa-cup-match-report
At one point, Ms Taylor writes,
"...but not until the former had connected with Grant Leadbitter’s corner and prompted a embarrassing fumble on Claudio Bravo’s part before Zabaleta came to the rescue and scooped the ball clear."
Whereas, in the Independent, Alan O'Brian writes,
"Grant Leadbitter’s left wing corner found the head of Rudy Gestede and Claudio Bravo in the City goal could only parry the ball to his left, where it struck Zabaleta on the goal line and the visiting captain hacked clear."
"hacked"?
I suspect I know who the "Hack" is...

Good professional performance.
But why do we miss so many chances? I really wish we'd kill teams off. If we scored just 1 more goal a game from all the good chances we create we'd probably be on for the treble this season. Seems to be a lot of scuffed shots, or straight at the keeper.
But, we're through and off to Wembley! Well played City, against a shit, dirty bogey side.

At least we are hitting the target more regularly, Stoke game we had only one on target from 12 attempts.
Not saying we should not have scored more merely that we have crossed one hurdle now lets see if those on target can be converted into more goals.

Should have won by more, but a very controlled and impressive away performance. Boro are a bunch of shit kickers, and I hope they and Karanka go down.

After that I think. you know what these stories are like though. Probably a bit of verbal and that's it. These young lads like to overdo the stories a bit!
Not saying nothing happened but with so many police around I can't imagine it lasted too long or was anything seriousAfter that I think. you know what these stories are like though. Probably a bit of verbal and that's it. These young lads like to overdo the stories a bit!
