Man City predicted team is-

Ortega; Walker, Akanji, Dias, Gomez, Rodri/Phillips, Bernardo, Gundogan, Alvarez, Haaland, Foden.

KDB likely to be on the bench as he still recovers from illness. 

 

Never heard of them.

Goater, Gow and Royle easily spring to mind as those players who played for both.  Who else?

Curle

Looking into the future . . . Haaland?

[Silvio Dante]

You’re all forgetting a man who once seen was never forgotten. A man who left a huge impression on both clubs, a full international.

You’re forgetting Ryan McGivern.

And that ***** Cunningham. But mainly McGivern.

The Times have got that wrong, then, if it's FA Cup Semi Final appearances since 1925 then City should be on 0 not 1, as our last Semi Final appearance in that competition was in 1920. 

Whoops… Times was right, it said quarter final, I think that makes it worse

I remember one game where Clive Whitehead had Willie Donachie on a string, I have never seen anyone so worried . Not sure if that was the Garland 1-0 or not, what I do remember from that game is one of the Man City players was quoted in the paper as saying we weren't fit to lace their boots. It was still 1-0 though , so suck on that . 

 

It was their Captain, Mike Doyle.

I am sure I remember a full page in the Bountyhunter that just said “MAY - WHY DON’T YOU EVEN LOOK LIKE YOU’RE TRYING”

Lovely hair though.

OK guessing time. Will Man C play in light blue, black or lemon coloured shirts?

Now, hands up; who not hopes, but thinks City will win tonight?

Thought it was, but then started doubting myself. And with my memory that's a normal state of things. 

I think I was in the enclosure that day.

Almost certainly yellow, I would say

Yep, he said it on MOTD iirc.

It was reported a few days later that after that comment someone had scratched 'BCFC' on his car, presumably a Manchester based City fan.

That's who I thought it was

Fortunately I won't be using public transport today but looking at the last bus/train times it looks a bit tight if it went to extra time/penalties, in that case game might not finish until 22.45, last bus for park&ride is 23.30 and train 22.54, I wonder if they realise there won't be a replay if the match is tied? Also they're asking people getting the bus to wait 45 mins before leaving the ground if poss so everyone doesn't arrive at once!

[JackofromSanJavier]

I'm almost ready for this.  Come on you RRRRRRRRRRRRedsssss

[Mattredrobin]

Was beginning to think I wouldn't be able to make tonight as my lad has had a bug the last few days, Thankfully he's feeling much better today, so now I am buzzing for the game just want to get down there already. C.O.Y.R.

Not sure if this has been covered - If Alex Scott gets booked tonight, does he miss Cardiff?
