Love the Dispensary, one of the great old Cains pubs. They're a lot of whingers those Scouse but they've got great pubs.

Wasted on the bin dipping scruffs

Your memories not great.

Kid has won more trophies with is that I ever dreamed of seeing. And we'd have at least one title less if it wasnt for him.

So even when he doesnt play well, he deserves a hell of a lot more leeway yet.

FWIW I wasnt referring to Foden, but it applies to.him as well.

Hang on , we all love Foden and want him to do well but for some reason he is a shadow of his former self Right behind him to be phenomenal next season

 

[Gesario]

Could see their goal coming from a mile off

The match definitely had Wigan 2013 vibes

Said it after 20 mins

 

[SilvaGods]

Ok you’re right, he’s just fucking shit and should be nowhere near the first team.
Is that ok with the morality police? Now fuck off back to the UFO thread.

Ooooh get u Norbert………

Bbc sport called it a 20 yard shot

View attachment 190360

6 yards shy (easy to calculate because of the stripes) . That bothers you enough to post about it?

 

[Gesario]

Back in the hotel, never ever understand why you don’t start strong and then rotate. Much more effort expended today doing it the other way around. Hard watch but we are in the final again. That game took it out of me but good to be there again.

Kova started , I mean Kova started Cmon Kova

I live in Southampton nowadays, and work sometimes in Portsmouth. Had we lost that I would have ensconced myself in the house for the next two weeks and switched my phone off.

No way would I have escaped brutal piss taking otherwise.

You and me both!! It's worse than losing to the Rags. My phone has been deathly silent tonight....if we'd lost it need turning off for a month.

8 changes is risky and we were not fluent at all but this is our 4th FA Cup final on the run! You can’t knock that! Incredible!

Credit for what doing his job ? I don’t get credit for doing my job .

Do you work for the inland revenue?

The rags ?

Donald Trump ?

Just askin' :- )

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

I honestly can't tell if that's a joke or not. I wouldn't put it past them.

I read it as the beeb saying they tried to cheat…

I honestly can't tell if that's a joke or not. I wouldn't put it past them.

I also think they should post the stats of how things would look if we counted goals from outside the box as extra points…

Dont think anyone has a problem with that point of view.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Has any other side achieved that?

The ‘invincibles’ never did…

 

[StillBluessinceHydeRoad]

I thought we deserved the win. Southampton played well but I’m so glad we’re in the final AGAIN. Well done lads. Made my day.

 

[Gray]

Has any other side achieved that?

No they haven't we have made history yet again.

 

[ancoats]

Come on you Blues, another final for Manchester City

But how many of the starting line-up will play in the final ? I feel sorry for players who are asked to play today and will not be given a chance in the final ? Only Trafford and Cherki will play if they stay fit.

I know it's a squad thing and the first-team players need looking after for the Premier League title run-in
But we nearly lost this semi-final and it could have had a knock-on effect in the title race

Anyway, well played to both teams and Southampton gave us a big wake-up call and good luck in the promotion chase

Yep

Many didn't like the starting line-up. me included hahah, but we got the job done in the end and a 4th final in a row
We are all blessed to be witnessing all of this history in the making

Could do with winning this one! :-)

 

[southamptonblue]

Some of them, maybe.

Anybody who seriously thinks that way isn't a City fan, never mind how they might protest.

Around November/December, seeing how we were defending and how Arsenal were relentlessly bludgeoning everybody before them, I didn't think that we had a chance of the title. I probably posted as much.

I'll be absolutely thrilled if we pull off the treble - I'll even put up with the taunts from the others who always said that we might (with no justification at all :-) ).

But yes, you may be right about some :-/

Nobody wants City to lose.....but if your opinion is that we might (for whatever reason) then that's their perogative to say so. The changes we made today, proved Pep did get it wrong at the start.....or the starting 11 would have taken care of it, they didn't!
Equalising through an 80 something minute deflection, was a get out of jail card.....and means I can leave my house next week ;)

A good outcome for us. Rest players and win the semi-final in normal time. 1st half was dull, but the 2nd half was excellent, particularly after Sav. & Doku came on.
