I wouldn't start Diarra - for me he's been awful last two games.HammerMan2004 wrote:Why do people keep thinking Diarra is good at football? Every game he's played he's been awful. He's got no pace, for a big bloke he's not strong on the ball, and he's got the turning circle of a small oil tanker.
Noble, Diame, Taylor would offer far more as a midfield three.

Diarra? He's barely been given a decent run in the side. Most of his appearances have been with our second stringers. We'll probably need his height tonight as well.

Final post from me before I sort myself out and head up to Manchester. As ever, all I want to see is a good match and fair result given what happened on the pitch. If you play well and get a result then I'll take my hat off to you. There have been some great encounters between us over the years and I hope tonight is another. I'm going 3-1 City.
Good luck.
Good luck.

I fear a scoeline reminiscent of the Valentines day massacre on the plastic. Let's hope they have a scoreboard within coining distance.
Whatever it is, let's remind ourselves what our away support is all about. Wit & passion in bundles.

Half a day of work then up on the train. Can't wait. Haven't been able to make as many aways as previous seasons but when this came up it was a 'must-go'. Will never forget our day at Villa Park and couldn't miss this one. Safe trip to everyone going up. Any idea how many City have sold for this one?

I fear for us tonight I really do. If City score early I dread to think what could happen. However, it's the cup and strange things can happen, just look at Sunderland. Logic says we'll be murdered but I'm going for a 1-1.

It is the cup and strange things do happen. Difference is Man U are nowhere near the side Man C are, just to piss on your cornflakes a little bithammer_sandwich wrote:I fear for us tonight I really do.

I really like that 3 behind Carlton. I'd actually play Diarra as a strictly DM and have Noble in place of Diame pushing on. Keep it on the deck for Overchuffed and it'd be good to watch.Hambrosia Stu wrote:-----------Jussi

Have a great time if you're going. I'll be sitting at home with a bottle of beer, fingers crossed.
Maybe Lady Luck will finally shine on us. About time she did after the past 30 years

I cannot make it due to work commitments,but hope our travelling support have a great night as in 2006, although this is a differant city side from then, we put in a performance at spurs so who knows.
