An hours build up we get tonight for a league cup game.

The shite had half hour. It’s little things like that which will just turn the screw that bit more.

Looking forward to this one.

45 minutes of why Arabs are ruining in the game. Then extended highlights of the Rags saving the credibility of the cup from last night..

Just hope the 11 that goes out there gives it everything and is brave on the ball.

I know the logistical nightmare we'd have if we went through but I still want to win, however difficult that may be.

They can have a lovely bonding time on the bus. A few card games, some quizzes and a session of eye-spy just for starters.

Exactly, and maybe a little bingo with Pep calling the numbers. Jack hit the floor…74, dirty bertie 30……yayas cake 38, calvs overweight…28

We know what type of side City will put out, it just depends on if United go full strength after getting to the final last season and wanting a repeat. If they weaken like City we will win, if they don't I think they will have too much.

City only marginal faves with bookies, closer than any prem game would be away in the odds.

Odds are pretty close to a pick em' between us and Arsenal in a few weeks' time. City at 2.4 and Arsenal at 2.8.

That is same as tonight more or less, odds last season were Arsenal at home to City 19/10 and City 5/4, so 2.9 and 2.25.

I backed Liverpool at 11/4 and MU at 16/5 last season, which 3.75 and 4.2? Once it gets to near Carpet for a tough game I get interested. The one tonight looks stingy.

Based on the injuries we have, our ladies would beat us.

Not with Taylor in charge they wouldn't!

We have drifted out from 2.30 to 2.50 in the last half hour or so....

Odds level now 13/8 for both on popular sites, 2.625.

The first half hour will be talking about the rags last night

Does anyone watch the build up to games, every fuker spouting ideas to beat us……

Strong squad, as expected:
