Swindon Town (A) - FA Cup 3rd Round | Post Match Thread

[BufordUSABlue]

Well done Swindon. Game played in the right spirit and that was down to you. Football in the South West is rubbished but the teams that City have played here have always played in the right way. I remember two brilliant matches in the League Cup semifinal against Bristol City and that great little Bristol City ball boy who was made guest of honour at the Etihad for the second leg.
Well done Swindon. Good luck for the rest of the season.

Here here, we’ll said and I add my best wishes for promotion, Swindon look way too good for League 2!

Some useless Stfc/ Man City connections.2 Summerbee's, a Horlock, Shay Given, James Milner - and wasn't Nicky Hammond involved at one time?

Did we get Fitzroy Simpson from there ?

Credit to Swindon for atleast trying to play football unlike majority of pl team . Hope they get promoted.

Had a look at the post match comments on their forum. Very complimentary about us, Rodri and Palmer in particular. Like you, I hope they go up and love through the divisions.

That’s Sam Matterface for you…apart from knowledge of libraries.

….and the amount of Premier League titles we’ve won!

Palmer reminds me of Waddle in some things he does

Let’s hope his career highlight isn’t a pizza advert!

Yes.his finest game was when we battered Leeds utd 4nil at Maine rd ..he was clattering into challenges on Strachan and McAllister etc in centre mid.
Think we beat Leeds 4nil two seasons on the trot,one of those games we didnt really want to win,as utd and leeds were neck and neck for the title...pre match all Blues were secretly hoping Leeds won....so we go and smash em 4nil.
Bittersweet.
Typical Maine rd City.
Back in the day.

Fucking good free kick by the way, the technical ability to place it there in insanely impressive

Commentary on ITV was class. Congratulated City for playing a strong team. No mention of costs of squad. Mentioned taking Swindon & FA cup seriously. Were effusive of Cole's performance. Nice change to BT, BBC & SKY

If the FA Cup is celebrating 150 years, how was the 1981 final the 100th?

Well I'm guessing they missed some years 39-45?

Yup.


The competition was not held during the First and Second World Wars, except in the 1914–15 season, when it was completed, and the 1939–40 season, when it was abandoned during the qualifying rounds.[2]
