Tipps69 Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Due to well documented personal issues, I shan’t even be attempting to attend the game & it doesn’t bother me one bit & while I very rarely agree with anything that @Londoner posts, he’s spot on in this instance. The club have to do whatever they can to maximise the financial income from this game, be that from ticket sales, membership sales, merchandising or TV money, they have to make what they can because for many years we have missed out on such opportunities. If we had landed the tie at Old Trafford, we could of been looking at a 40% (or so) income from a roughly 60,000 attendance, instead we will have less than half of that! And let’s not forget the bigger picture, all money made will help towards FFP & will allow the club to loosen the purse strings a bit to enable us to strengthen the squad even further & not have to totally rely on SL’s considerable wealth to bring in new players. This could help us progress even further as a club & IF we could actually make it through to the semifinals, it would be amazing & help us progress even further! People need to start looking at the bigger picture & not whine because they might not get to see Bristol City play Man Utd because if we can progress as we have done recently, we could be playing them in the league soon. There are worse things in life than not being able to watch a football match although reading some of threads that have been started on here since the draw, you would think not!! Some people really need to put life into perspective because if not being able to go a football match is the worst thing that is going on in your life at the moment, you are very lucky people!!

Charlie BCFC Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I think prospect of premier league players playing at the gate is exciting in itself. For me they won’t make 11 changes but they won’t be unchanged. They will most likely start one of Rashford/Martial, we could see Pogba providing he’s fit and Ibrahimovic if he’s looking to get some match sharpness after lengthy time out. I’m looking forward that’s for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not jizzing myself as the bloke above so elequantly asked us not to, however this is the most exciting cup game since 89 and we have earned a crack at them. Let's make it a bloody good one!!!

REDOXO Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 What's our full strength team? I'm not sure. Anyone care to enlighten me with our best 11/16 We appear to have a league team and a cup team that includes Bryan Flint Wright with the rest being interchangeable.

Would really like to see Ibra as he has had a superb career. Also be great to see arguably the best manager in the world at our place! Great draw for the club but all this fawning over them is a bit embarrassing tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Yeah it’s very suspicious. Rumours about Chelsea vs Bournemouth and us vs United were rumoured about 20 mins before the draw was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 @phantom We also played Everton in 04. 0-2 down quite early, 2-2. I believe Phillips made a triple save- we lost on pens ultimately but was a great time. However, this supersedes that and any other in my time (19 years nearly) as a City fan. We've been due for so long and we now have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, it was a football league draw made ostensibly in Thailand by a rogue gang of f*ckwits. Not sure we can blame the FA for this, as much as we'd like to.

1960maaan Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 This one is special, Chris Garland was my first City hero. Yes I sang songs about walking a million miles for John Galley, singing Bobby Kellard is our king and all that , but Garland was the man for this football fanatic. The clips from this one are brilliant , although black and white I'm taken back to about 7 or 8 years old when I was given the all red kit for my birthday, I was so excited I manage to nag enough to be allowed to have the shorts early. Garland scored goals for City, went to a very good Chelsea side and and even played in the cup final Vs Stoke. Then onto Leicester for the same £100k he went to Chelsea for before returning to City. Scored important goals to help keep us up , was one of 'the 8' but loved to club to play on in a non contract capacity. Still way up there on my list of favourite players.

I just find it a tad mind boggling that someone who is seemingly older than your bog standard attention seeking teenager, would continue to moan & complain about the same match which is just short of 2 months away from being played after only being drawn about 7 hours ago. If he carry’s on at this rate, I think I might have serious concerns for his health because by the time the game is a week away (or so), he’ll possibly of blown a valve.

Floatn Over Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Half and half scarves is just something I cannot ever get my head around, why the hek anyone wants anything relating to an opposing club around ones neck is beyond me, even if it's a big name club. I go to support bcfc and currently wear my late uncles beloved city scarf every game as a tribute to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 It’s a great draw for us and I’m delighted we’ve finally got a genuinely massive team.. despite his moaning I think there might be something in the ‘conspiracy’ about the draw.. it’s a broadcaster’s dream quarter final out of the possible options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
