It's Reading. We'll give them an awful slapping, the Championship shitbags.

they will be so up for it our players will need to be 110%, and i fear that we will not turn up as we havent done in the last couple of league games to fulham and second half against wigan
out of the europa league and the fa cup this is the one i want most...i want a trip to wembley with city even if it is just a semi final...its so close ou can almost sense it!
I just pray that our players and manager know how much this means to the city fans and that they bust thier guts to get us there. I have a horrible feeling about sunday's game, so much infact that i wouldnt even mind RM fielding a reserve team against Kiev on wednesday to keep the first team fresh
Almost agree with this - not a RESERVE team, but I would be happy with a packed midfield and defence, and rest the likes of Silva - negative smother tactics and get a 0-0 draw.

Can you imagine what this site will be like Sunday night if we lose!
To be fair though, anything less than a win on Sunday then people (myself included) will once again be doubting the people in charge at our club. It's a natural reaction. Given the way we've played the last 2 home games I personally am expecting a big performance in this!!

That is the worst thing I have ever read. Don't be so stupid.
Yes it will be a competitive game. It's an FA cup quarter final. But don't be silly. To say you'd rather player Stoke, Bolton or Birmingham that a championship side who regardless of beating Everton with a set piece corner, are sat 9 points behind Swansea, is just ludicrous. If our players have that mentality, we will make it a fucking hard game for ourselves. Of course respect the opponents, but come on, if we play to 90% of our potential, we will blow them away in the first half. That is the truth. People just like to hide behind the cautious 'can't possible jinx anything mentality'. Shane Long does not come up against Komapny and Lescott each week either.

Yeah, it's only fucking Reading. The worst side we could realistically field would still give them a beating -

In my opinion we have to go balls to the wall first half and finish it there and then,so there is nothing to do second half but relax,but this is city so i expect my arsehole to be like a ripped tesco's bag by the end of the game
I agree, it isn't going to be easy with Reading at all, I am dreading us losing to them, what a nightmare! Unfortunately for our lads it will be so soon after the trip to Kiev but on the plus side, we have the experience and very gifted players, just hope they are not jet lagged or pick up any injuries.

It shouldn't be a tough game, not really. We're a Top 3 side at present, they are a mid table Championship team. Would you imagine Chelsea fans looking at a home match with Reading and thinking "Oooh, this is going to be tough"?
We should win comfortably. Doesn't mean we will, but it shouldn't be looked at as a tough match, it should be looked at as a winnable fixture, and the easiest draw we could have had in the Quarter Finals.

I think we're well suited to somthering them.
Long and Hunt (Jr) are a good hardworking pair with a bit of quality but they probably won't play both.
They have a quick RW but he's a pretty crude footballer. Zab will have to start.
Against Everton they left huge amounts of space on the left. Kola and Balo, or even SWP would have a field day.
Everton found it quite easy to get in the danger areas but didn't capitalise. We should be able to start quickly, attack, score and save energy for later matches.
