    We sold out the 6000 tickets before the deadline and probably be a few more shouting for the 'orns. Looking forward to coming to the Etihad and like you hope football is the winner but I am going for a shock 0-5 win...

    Stand by for an eye blasting shock of yellow...

    Happy New Year to all in light blue...
    :wink:

    We're a respectful lot on the whole (just avoid Gloryhorns).

    HOWEVER, I don't think us getting a result would be a "shock" as such. We're underdogs, but not no-hopers. We have a system which is relatively uncommon in England, players who fit it perfectly, and a squad laced with full internationals (Matej Vydra, Joel Ekstrand, Almen Abdi, Daniel Pudil, Marco Cassetti), plus players who will definitely get there (Fernando Forestieri, Tommie Hoban, Nathaniel Chalobah... the other players in first-team contention are English or Spanish).

    Mate, bit tongue in cheek, sorry it's early! Shock would be the score not the win, I'll be there on my own with 6000 who have something special in common, can't wait..

    Ah... I was actually responding to the Man City thread. Didn't realise you'd used the word too!

    We aren't far from selling out,should be close to 48000 and a proper old fashioned cup atmosphere. With City being out of Europe I expect Mancini to really target the FA cup this year and with us having no game for 8 days after I expect a more or less full strength side.The toure boys will be on ACON duty so they are definitely out as is Nasri suspended
    Hart
    Zabaleta Kompany Nastasic Clichy
    Milner Garcia Barry
    Tevez silva
    Balotelli
    Would be my guess

    I thought I read that this game was the Toure's last game before they flew out - but I will not be too upset if Yaya isn't playing <yikes>

    Old habits die hard

    Will Harry the Hornet and his drum be going to the game to try and get our fans to create some form of atmosphere??

    Let's not get too excited and manage our expectations. If City are putting out their 'B' team which on any day would be a top 5 finish, I'll revise my prediction from 0-5 to 0-4 as they will work harder...

    Would someone be able to post the Watford chant songsheet (massive as it is!) as the only song I remember is 'Elton Johns Taylor made Army', is that still a goodun?
