Thanks JGF, will try to watch that online shortly through one of those video feeds with the pop-up boxes.

I hope everyone who went to Wembley today had a great day out, despite the traffic and all the usual crap with actually getting to the stadium. I have been gutted for weeks at not being able to come home for the Final from Chicago, and today was even worse. (I should add that I've only seen City...

Very glad to read that you had a great day Mike, and were able to rearrange your trip back home with the cherry on the cake with the Wembley win! Safe travels back to that beautiful part of Canada you live in!

I'm a little surprised at only 21,000 to season ticket holders, when up to 36,000 could have been sold to that top priority group. Anyway, I hope this means that everyone who wants a ticket will be able to get one. I'll hope to watch the match online, and will be there with you all in spirit.

I need to PM you. Pretty sure it won't be on any US cable channel, but there are internet possibilities. Will be in touch (if I can work out how to PM you here!) Sadly I just can't afford to do the trip. A succession of low paying part-times jobs since I moved here in 2012 have meant my...

Just over 60 minutes in, and City 2-0 up, Agard having scored the second goal. Looks like normal service is resumed (of course I'm having to follow the match over here in Chicago via BBC online text commentary). I'm not too bothered by what SC says in post-match or other interviews - managers...

Have a great trip, Mike! I'm still trying to decide whether I can afford to come over or not from Chicago - having been over here for 2 1/2 years and only having been able to get low paying part-time work (tough emigrating and then finding work in your 50's) means my savings have been decimated...

The BBC will be screening the Cup 4th round tie between City/Donny v Everton/West Ham on Sunday 25th Jan at 2pm. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/30710045 So some extra incentive with a sell out crowd and TV money, and personally, strong likeliehood that I could watch the game live on TV...

Great result tonight. In the $1100 range to fly home for me, Tampa, if I can't use FF points.

Ditto. Got nearly 200,000 FF points I could dip into.

Can we play Gillingham every week please?

Thanks Tampa. Sunny here too, but bitter. But shovelling snow at 6:30am is good exercise... As for City, would you be heading back in March if we reach Wem-ber-lee?

I was 7 or 8, City away at Ninian Park against Cardiff back around 1967 or 68.

Non-existant text commentary on the BBC website, but following along as best I can over here in f-ing freezing Chicago (down to -30C tomorrow, or thereabouts). Happy to see the boys overcome the early Gills goal to go into half time at 2-1. Don't know if my family back over there could get tix...
