That was the only thing he's done so far. City have been excellent.

Yes. I am really liking Freeman; he looks quality on the ball. I've looked him up and he was with Arsenal for 4 years which could explain his pedigree.

He's 22 and I wouldn't be surprised to see him playing higher in the next few years.
 
They've just had a midweek game, and have a live game on Sky this coming Friday.

And they rested players in the LC vs Liverpool too.

Fair enough in my book. They may never get a better chance to get into the PL. It has to be their priority, regardless of the fact that at full strength, they would have an excellent chance of knocking a PL team out today.
They have an excellent chance today, whatever the team they put out.

Actually, knowing these so called teasers by football clubs, it'll probably be just Senderos signing a new contract.
 
Given that they could be going down, and he could have then walked away for free, they've done well to convince him to sign for another four years.
 
Replay dates are Tues 4th and Weds 5th by the way. If West Ham have one, they will have four games in 12 days: Liverpool, Bristol City, Man Utd, Us. Possibility that their game vs us could be one step too far for them. Given how important the Cup should now be for them, that would not be a nice 12 days.
