Sweeneys Penalties Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I've only attended 1 semi final (at Villa Park many moons ago against Arsenal). It was a lousy game and tension filled the stands and seemed to stifle anything creative on the pitch. When Villa had finally got a result over the two legs, there wasn't so much a cheer as a huge sigh of relief all round the ground. Arsenal lads didnt take it lightly and West Midlands finest were in for a busy night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I’m excited; first major cup semi final for decades against one of the best teams in Europe who no one gives us a chance against, so am pleased to be part of the near 8k Reds roaring on the lads. Just hope we give them a game, but will enjoy it regardless of result - I’ve seen us lose to terrible teams by big score lines on the road before, so no shame in losing to Man City if we do.

Saw the last semi-final as a 9yr old so seeing another is pretty special. Cant see anything other than a drubbing if i am honest but im using this as practice for when we go to these grounds next season!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_BCFC Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Excited, i just hope we can give a good account of ourselves and keep the tie alive for 2nd leg back at the gate COYR!!! Expecting a defeat against a bloody good side but I'll take a narrow 0-1 here and now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I’m not gonna be too optimistic about a result, and if we do pull it off Tuesday like someone said we’ve still got to do it all again. however a very poor palace side managed to almost beat them just a week ago so it’s not complet lt beyond the realms of possibility. i jusyvhope we don’t get stuffed and a goal to celebrate would be nice. Whatever happens all 8000 of us need to sign, shout, cheer and party hard to enough to be a 12th and 13th man for the boys oh and if it’s a hiding stay til the end ffs and still clap the lads, it won’t be through a lack of effort or attitude.

Remember sheltering against the wall of the open end before kick-off to escape the horizontal rain! Still a great day out. Set my VHS to record the game but when I got home discovered I had forgotten to allow for extra time. Got the Walshie shot and not their winner - wasn't too upset though tbh.

Kingswoodactor Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Scenes when we head to the corner flag attempting to run the clock down from the 1st min at the Etihad, grinding out the most disgusting 0-0 of all time, criticised by football fans across the world for our anti-football. Then bluff everyone back at the Gate in the return leg by turning up like Brazil 1970 and winning 3-0. Yes, I like the sound of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they play a full strength squad could we get them thrown out of the competition, seeing as most prem sides drop their stars, only fair. 16 minutes ago, hodge said: Excited, we're expected to lose so really a no lose scenario. Unless we're doing well, then we would have something to lose and we would have a lose scenario, or no win scenario, unless of course we won. But the we can lose our no win scenario and it would be a no lose scenario. I need a sit own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loco Rojo Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Enjoy the night out, occasion and the game, but I'm expecting a drubbing. Man City are ruthless and despite our weakened and sub optimal teams during the last few games, I expect the current form to have had some sort of impact on the pre Man U belief and confidence amongst our lads I'll be glad when we're out of this cup so that we can focus on getting the form back on track in the league.

Regardless Of course I'm proud of how well we've done in the EFL cup, we all are I'd have thought. As already stated Man Citeh have stuffed everyone and we all know they're PL Champions elect and very likely to chieve the Invincibles label, only the second team to go undefeated all season.

pongo88 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 1 hour ago, Major Isewater said: I'm nervously excited . I’m nervously excited by how the various scenarios might pan out. Strange as it may seem I feel that City winning the first leg might not be the best outcome. A small defeat for City away might make Pep become a bit over confident, leading to him selecting a relatively weak team for the second leg. Then a storming performance by City and the fans would set up a City win - on the night and overall. That said, I have no objections to City winning 3-0 on Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterRedthanBlue Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'm excited, in all fairness I believe man City will destroy us even with a mix of youth and experience. We aren't going to do a man utd and we won't park the bus (hopefully), we will go out and try to play and hopefully impress a few agents or managers.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Excited, and of course proud. What’s the odds on a Flint hat-trick? Realistically, based on past semi-finals we’ll lose after extra time at the Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Dreamt Joe Bryan smacked one in from 30 yards in the 85th minute to give us a 2-1 win. Buzzing for it. Result doesn't really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRed Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Only 8000 going? I'm sure the commentators will mention that the "Blue Half", the team more famous than even Manc City, would have doubled that. Plus the lock out mob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying Tuesday night along with a few thousand others from Bristol and going to try and drink Manchester dry. Cant wait. Thank you Lee and the boys, what a New Year gift !
