Is there not a MOTD FA Cup highlights show tonight ?

No, but there's apparently extended highlights on BBC website.

I only stayed up to watch Wolves and City win and then Yappy Yorath says 'Goodnight'! Have they fucked off the FArce Cup 'cos we won and they lost???

Agree he has to impress when he’s given the opportunity but some players take a few games to get back into the swing of things he hasn’t played all year. Hopefully he goes away with England gets some games gets himself match fit and upto the standard we require as that wasn’t it today.

He proved last season he can be a very competent option at lb, it’s not ideal, he has limitations there and shouldn’t be kept primarily as a left back option, I’d look at it more as an emergency option and a bonus. I do believe he is a better option as a holding midfielder than gundogan though who is utterly useless in that position when out of possession as shown today. as much as the first goal was Delphs fault, the second goal was gundogans.

I agree Delph better in the Fernandinho role but in Fernandinho absence I think Kevin is better than both

No because we won and the rags lost they've cancelled it. Showing a few measly highlights on the red button now.

D.Silva suddenly looking his age.

Looked near his best the other night to me, maybe 2 games in 4 days is the problem ?

About time luck favoured us when it mattered. How many times have we had to put up with rags getting shit decisions in their favour, yet the media never called it out then. I couldn't care less what BT or the BBC say - at the end of the day we won 3-2 with a great comeback and the dirty bastards from Trafford were knocked out. Enjoy the weekend Blues!

Spot on and it will hurt them even more now we are getting a few decisions in our favour- not that we need then as we are a different level(apart from today)

 

[cleavers]

Today was one of our off days, we were shocking.

If "shocking" is battering a team for 45 minutes I'll take it, we could easily have scored 7 or 8 again.

 

[paulchapo]

If Carlsberg do weekends can Fulham please pull off a miracle tomorrow and beat the dippers please?

 

[johnnytapia]

You’ve lost me. City win, tick. Utd lose, tick. And then something irrelevant about the Grand Slam? You may as well say City win, Utd lose and I found a packet of biscuits I had forgot about in the cupboard. No one cares about rugby - just a load of fat blokes who are shit at football

Ha ! Ha! Rugby Union: kick and clap

Possibly. If we can get him and De Bruyne fit and firing for the run in we have a great chance.

Its all on the iPlayer, BT have the full game at about 12:30 though.

I saw it earlier on the iPlayer but I really wanted to see and hear what Dion D might say about a City and Wolves double!

 

[cleavers]

Of the many ex rags he's one of the few I don't mind.

 

[west didsblue]

Even if we weren’t given the pen, we still had 15 mins left to score and we were odds on to do that even before the penalty due to our dominance and multiple chances after Bernardo’s goal. I think we still would have won, it just might have gone to ET.

 

[Cityfan]

We've won 19 of our last 20 games; in how many of those have we started our best available 11?

Newcastle for one.

Hes a t**t

 

[St.Pauli support]

I think Arteta needs to focus on our counter-attacking in training. We’re not decisive enough in those moments. Be it 3 on 3, or even a 4 on 3 like today, we fuck it up every time. And to win the CL, we’re going to need to improve in this area. We might get one break, the opportunity to perhaps make it to Madrid, and we need to be ruthless when it comes.

Absolutely this!

The decisions for the right pass and the timing is awful.

We have enough passing ability and also pace, but on breaks it rarely works well.

 

[ESP Blue]

Had a tenner on city scoring a pen, slightly upset but i don't really care, especially after wolves result.

 

[cleavers]

Newcastle for one.

LOL, yes, just shows that rotation works better.

Since Leicester its now 18 wins from 19 games, that being the (very annoying) exception (my only away game of the season).

 

[wythenshaweblue£££]

What a win delph seems to be a jinx in these Fa Cup games. By far Aguero and Bernado won us the game tonight. Just so glad we are through and off to Wembley again.
