Match Day Thread Man City v Hull City

I hate that, there's a season ticket holder who has done that at the KC since it opened - never understood it. I'm always there until the end. I'm a Yorkshireman - even in defeat I like to get my money's worth .

 

Thing is, if they pan us 5-0 with a first team out, wouldn't that be more damaging?

 

Not really,theres loads to choose from whichever direction you come from but the traffic getting away can be pretty bad
I park at the stadium but I have a season ticket parking pass for £95

 

Thanks Paulpowersleftfoot! I remember Paul Power as the last player needed to fill Man City in my Panini album - forever remembered for that reason!

 

I remember him more for this

Check out the young paulpowersleftfoot climbing the fence with a black jacket and dreadful 80s mullet after he scores

 

I dont hate it, it baffles me, it sometimes makes me laugh, if we score after they've gone. I don't understand why so many do it either.

 

A test of how seriously we take it is who is picked in goal. Though McGregor can be error prone he's still the only keeper we have who I'd trust in this game.

 

The cup is not w distraction or nuisance. It's football and it's competition. I want us to win every match. The cups only lose importance because of people's attitudes. Take it seriously and it becomes a serious competition. That goes for fans and clubs.

 

Personally I think I'd prefer to stick with Jakupovic for this, if only not to destroy his confidence in case we need him to cover for McGregor in the league - his penalty saves in the early rounds kept City in the cup, he played well against Leicester and looked comfortable coming off his line and, apart from one comedy moment against Swansea, he's actually looked pretty good.

 

The only priority is 3 points against TWS on Saturday. I would put out a weakened team & save the legs for the weekend.

 

I feel good about this game. We'll win 3-1 (Diomande off the bench to score the third.)

 

I'm not sure they will be full pelt but I'd want us to prioritise the Leeds match so I am more of an opinion with you

 

when i go I always park at the old abotoir on Brisco lane north of the stadium its the round bull ring shaped builring at the top right hand corner of the photo just 5 mins walk from the stadium Easy to get away from and on to the motorway network you just turn up Brisco lane away from the stadiun then turn first left and that will take you to Oldham roas where you will see signs for the M62 . Hope this helps you

 

Cheers fella - do they charge for parking in there and is it safe?

 

The league has to be the priority. The last thing we want now, especially with the loan window closed, is more injuries to our squad.

 

Chance to get into a semi final! Id take victory on tuesday if meant defeat at Elland Rd. I hate the way the league is given priority over cups such as our europa league effort last season

 

What's the difference in losing at the quarter final, semi final or final stage? The prize at the end of the season for promotion is, to use the scientific term, a ****load of cash. A league cup run would be nice once we're promoted, but getting out of this league is the priority. There's no Europa League spot for not winning this time around.

 

I agree re promotion but reaching a cup final was the greatest moment in our history, not finishing 2nd in the champ or 17th in the PL

 

It was a great moment, no denying it, but be realistic, even if we do beat Man City, we'd only get another PL team in the next round. They would be even more up for it given that they're only one match away from the final, giving us an extra game for no gain. We already play 8 extra games (assuming we don't get into the playoffs), not forgetting we aren't even in the FA Cup yet.
