The official Manchester City FC v Bristol City FC in the Carabao Cup Match Day Thread

How do you go about calling this? 

If they put out a strong team, who play well, it could be anything. Equally, it is not that we are playing them because of the luck of an early draw. We are playing them in a semi because we have earned the right to be there. 

Hope we dont get stuffed, of course I do, but more than that hope we show the world we can play a little bit to.

My class of Year 5 Italian kids belted out  an unprompted 'Ole ole ole ole Bristol CITY' today, the most proud I have ever been of them.

When we have some spare time we enjoy watching Korey's goal against United.

One of them said at the end of the day 'We know if Bristol City won because you will have no voice tomorrow like last time'

Going to go into town and confuse the locals in my City shirt again. Hopefully I will be going as mental as I was during the United game.

:clap:. Love it

Here in Swindon I’m Getting ready to wander up to Longs bar with Mrs R&W and my boy. 
Looking forward to this and of course I want us to win, but (in this order) I really hope for:
1. No new injuries or exhaustion related problems
2. No bans
3. No crowd trouble or disrepute 
4. We don’t get humiliated

I fear a dry-bumming of horrific proportions, but you never know.

If there is a flicker of hope at FT it might spur me to get a flight back for the 2nd leg.

It was ever thus. In my day the stage from The Greyhound was often cancelled due to the wrong kind of highwaymen.

I thought that in your day they were still waiting for the wheel to be invented! ;)

Has Charlie Nicholas even watched us this season?

"I'm afraid I don't give Bristol City any chance. They'll come and park the bus but I'm not sure how they can expect to execute that plan against the best attacking unit in Europe when they've conceded eight goals in their last two games against Aston Villa and Watford."

Clearly not. We'e Bristolians. We've learnt not to rely on the bus.

We’re not a Premier League team, so probably not.

Don’t disagree with him that we’re massive underdogs, but I don’t think we’ll Park the bus - I’m not sure we know how, for good or for ill!

I heard that he was in financial services. Well, it sounded like “banker” but I may have misheard

Lazy ' journalism ' that's all.

i would imagine 95% of the population think we'll get stuffed .

Like they did for Watford , Stoke , Palace and Personchester Utd .

What jars is that he'll have been paid for the article that anyone could have written.

he probably thinks the Villa result was the latest in our 8 game losing streak and that we could do without this semi final as our relegation battle is much more important.

I would imagine 95% of our own fans think we will get stuffed.
