    Win it in the tunnel pre match like Boothroyds team did to dirty Leeds in the playoff final at Cardiff...as Corp Jones says, “they don’t like it up them”

    Gosh what a goal.

    The first season they won the PL he got the winner v Man Utd near the end of the season too I remember.

    Even their centre backs are better than our strikers.

    And win it again in the halftime tunnel.

    Citeh are brittle, really brittle.

    Their main weakness is their lightweight, wannabe crowd. Weedy & trained over decades after into being losers.

    They **** their corduroys if they don’t score in the first 15 mins.

    Looks like Pep’s finest might be having a Kinnock moment. Celebrating a victory not yet won.

    We should sign that Ian Acho guy. The one the usual suspects used to cream over on here.

    Looks quality.
     
  8. Fantastic result tonight.

    Hopefully they finish off the league next week but the stress and relief gives them all a bit of a league hangover and they are emotionally spent for the cup game.

    Tonight did demonstrate how to stay in a game with City. Leicester were missing the other 2 ingredients that could get you a victory. 1 - taking the very few chances you have (Pereira & Iheanacho) and 2 - having all the luck in the game (Kompany's goal was his first from outside the box in 27 attempts).

    It should give Gracia some tips though and we absolutely must set up 451 if we are to stand any chance. Stop Sterling, Silva and Aguero and they do begin to sweat.

    We will need so many things to go for us and I would genuinely give us around a 3% chance of winning but my word what a time to be alive that would be. I will run down Olympic Way in just my Fa Cup Commemorative shirt and my half and half scarf.

    As i mentioned in the wrong thread earlier...

    In the final a midfield which includes Doucoure, Capoue and Cleverley. I'd play Femenia and Janmaat on the right as there will be tracking back. On the left I would do the same. Masina and Holebas.
    That in theory would make it more difficult for City to get through us if our lot concentrate and play well.

    Gracia can pick the other 4 players if he wants.

    Then if we are holding them after 70 mins change it for a match winning sub.

    De bruyne will be back for the Final. We have no answer to him.

    One of those will be a keeper, presumably at least two CB’s, so which one of Deulofeu, Deeney, Pereyra and Hughes gets a start?

    Good analysis.

    Isn’t it Wembley Way?

    I thought it better if they blew the league and came in all dejected for a poor consolation. Win the League and their confidence will be sky high. They will want that treble.

    Play Angella as a specialist batsman?

    Bang on.

    They’re a ‘sin cojones’ outfit.

    Foot on the throat/generally prey on their neuroses.

    I presume the idea would be to play for penalties then? Because that team isn't scoring any goals if it does somehow keep them out.

    Down to 1%?

    Would we beat Citeh at pens?

    Dre or Holly are bound to stick it into the £115 seats.

    Go for replay at Villa Park?

    It was a disaster against Spurs in the Carabao. Didn't we score just 2 out of 5?

    I would only back Deeney in a pressure situation from the spot. I think the others would have to be carried there, as their legs would be a bit wobbly after that long walk from the half way line.

    Anyway, to get to penalties we'd likely have to score at least 3 goals during the game in the first place.

    I’d rather have Ken clogging up the middle & getting in the way.

    Lyrically, does that work?

    What about:

    Ken Sema, Ken Sema, in the middle of the pitch.
    Ken Sema, lost the ball, and now he’s got a stitch.

    We don’t have a chance and anybody going there who thinks we do is going to be supremely disappointed. Equally, anybody getting worked up about the inevitable mistakes we make and goals we gift them are most certainly wasting their energy and need to take a good and hard look at their lives.

    It’s an occasion for a monumental piss-up and maybe a bit of a song-song before they destroy us. As mentioned before, the game itself should comfortably be the worst part of the day.

    Brick our goal up each half. City to demolish it their end each half.

    They would still win.

    It can be called Kenilworth road for all I care. My **** will be out, I will be drunk and I will be singing and dancing.

    It’s Manchester City not Brittle City. Although we seem to have problems beating either of them in recent seasons.

    Yes. We then have much better chance on the smaller pitch at VP.

    A every single time. No debate. We will be relegated in the next 2-3 seasons anyway. You don't seriously favour B ??

    You didn't study for 8 years and do a full residency in being strange for such disrespect.
