    See also “we can concentrate on the league” for details.

    Ah, we usually have a cracking game against them. Will be fun.

    At least we’ll get knocked out by the cup winners rather than Charlton

    Perhaps they’ll play the academy lads and we only lose 0-3.

    At least we're at home. Which gives us some kind of chance. Can we get Ralph back for one game only?

    The only small positive is that they play Chelsea twice in the week beforehand (league and FA Cup), and then have Utd and Spurs in the week after. So a league cup game vs us will comfortably be their least important match during that two week period.

    Their reserves will still stuff us 4-0.

    Also the tie comes after the FA Cup third round where for once, City have a tough game against Chelsea. I'm clutching at straws a bit but I'd rather do that then say we've got no chance.

    Horrible injury to Craig Gordon today. With him being forty next week, I expect that’s him done. Awful way to have to bow out.

    Hopefully get some pricing details for the City QF soon. The club would do well to keep the prices low and try and fill the ground.

    Reckon plenty will swerve this due to the fear of seeing us get hammered if they raise them too much just because its City.

    £20 for adults, £5 for U18's. Fair enough I think.

    I think they’ve pitched that too high


    Fan morale is low at the moment. If they could have gone in at initially £10 rising to £15 I think they’d get a much bigger interest from fans (25k +) Suspect at £20 it’ll be less than 15k for this one

    The previous two rounds were £14 for adults. It won't be less than 15k. It's a QF at the end of the day. It will be 25k crowd minimum.

    Tella makes it 3 - 0 for Burnley, hadn't been on for long.

    Neymar…



    …is an embarrassing, pathetic twat.

    Yellow card for slap, yellow card for diving = 5th red card in a PSG shirt.
    Colossal ****.
