I'd love us to add to Guardiola's struggles, I bet he never envisaged this, the bloke inherited a squad of top level internationals, was given a decent amount of coin to spend and yet he's having to play attacking full backs at centre half the second one gets injured :lol:

Not going to this one. No real reason except not a fan of football on Friday night, plus going to watch Plymouth at Anfield on Sunday

I expect Man City will play reserves and youth, we will give some squad players a game, it will be similar to Chelsea cup game but end in a draw

I will be expecting our lads to be up for this...whatever team they put out, they will give us a game, but I think English top flight football has caught Guardiola out...Slav will own him in this one too.

This game could be anything...4-3 and a historic win.. :crest:

If we carry the injustice over to this game we could beat them.

2 - 1 Mr. Slav please

Guardiola has history for winning cups. My money is that they'll take this game much more seriously than us.

Always enjoy a cup run. Especially during a season where it looks like we'll be knocking around mid-table without the drama of fighting for European spots / avoiding relegation.
Strongest team we can put out, and have a real go!! :scarfer:

First game for me and the heavily pregnant Mrs at the new premises, pretty optimistic that we take the cup serious and put out a decent starting 11.

Superb stuff .No matter that kids are getting in for a quid , it's exactly right for this fixture .

Who knows, if we stick a decent team out and play well, some of them may come back .

A lot of people have been getting confident about our chances in the last two games.

2-0 Citeh.

Got seven tickets to make a family evening out so a win will be an unexpected bonus.

In all honesty I can't say I'm happy with FNF :wink: , I'm lucky though to be able to organise my work so as to be coming through Stratford from Leeds at around 6pm .

-------------------------Adrian
Byram--------Reid---------Oggy-------Cresswell
-------------------Obiang---Fernandez
Feghouli-------------Lanzini-------------Payet
-------------------------Carroll

Give Antonio and Noble a nice rest before Palace. Give Fletcher a good 30 mins despite how the result is going. Plus if we play Carroll I always think we should play 2 wingers as there is not enough quality deliveries otherwise as it's not Antonio's strength.

I'll be at this game sort of 11 hours earlier - at the Melbourne City (owned by Man City owners) v West Sydney in Melbourne.
Apparently Melbourne City are a carbon copy of Man City.

I'll be cheering for Sydney - the team from the capital city!
