Will I take the FA cup for granted , yes I know we probably won't win it , but that experience today will stay with me forever and a game that's up there with the best matches I've ever attended watching city .

Appreciate these moments , amazing

Yup.

Once you have actually seen it and been there and done it, as we did in 1987, it stays with you forever and is an incredible memory etched upon your brain.

The cup can still be special, as proved today.

Well said Evo. I know you were iffy about bothering with the Oxford game earlier in the season, and I was quite exasperated with people continually calling every draw a crap one, when to me winning each round was more important than drawing one of the big fish in the early rounds. Unless Leicester make it through we will now have one of those big fish in a cup semi final. Fantastic

Some of us stuck up for the cup from the get go. Hopefully we don't have the same shit play the academy kids posts next year

Stirling missed a pen

 

[Martin180]

It’s a very poor game so far , Chelsea look incredibly ordinary and only Dewsbury-Hall looks up for it for Lesta

Probably be a bit ambivalent to it after we've won the champions league 2 or 3 times. So within the next 5 or 6 years

 

[robbiethemole]

Chelsea would be a better draw for us on this showing

 

[Nick]

It's really annoyed me when we just haven't been arsed about it. Yeah it's probably not going to be something we will go all the way and win but moments like yesterday just make it worth it.

I might be in the minority but Leicester are the last team I want to play in the semi final. The thought of losing to them and those six fingered cunts gloating is unbearable

I've ot been arsed with the cups for years and my attendance at cup games has been sporadic but you're spot on, yesterday was magical,

 

[procdoc]

Sterling is absolutely shite

 

[procdoc]

Good assist though

Tbf the manager himself never took it seriously so i get why fans may not. Glad Doug had a word as this is a fair bit more fun than getting embarrassed by Wrexham isn't it.

I have always loved the cup, you tell the 4800 who were there yesterday that it doesn’t mean much, the celebrations when that third one went in were unreal took me back to 87

Let’s hope so

 

[shmmeee]

Watching Chelsea Leicester, reckon we’d beat either of these teams.

...and he's a better full back

Yesterday was probably my best ever away day in 50 years of supporting City. Amazing scenes at the end. Stopped off in Coleshill on way back withSBA with the pub banging out songs by the Specials and the Enemy. A brilliant day PUSB

Yep-tell the 26,000 odd Wolves fans that it doesn’t mean much too! The dejection in the stand behind the goal when the 3rd goal went in on the highlights is beautiful!

I’ve never understood the recent de-valuing of it shepherded in by the likes of Boreinho and his b teams. Apart from anything else it can be a fantastic catalyst for the league.

You know what. I totally believe this. Finding themselves in the playoffs puts a whole new perspective on their season. They've been cruising for automatics up to now.

 

[MikeyMoo]

I get why we didn't take it seriously though, given our limited squad size in previous seasons. Glad I was there for the League Cup win having said that...

Man U did a pretty good job of devaluing the cup. Wasn’t it them who went on a tour instead of fielding a decent side?

It really does stay with you.
I think about ‘87 rather more than I suspect I should.

I wonder if this magic diminishes for fans of teams that win it regularly. I’d like to find out!

Course it will

 

[hamertime]

It’s because the club has never had a winning mentality, before we’ve even started cup runs were resigned to being knocked out and that includes the fans.

It has really wound me up over the years, thankfully we have an owner with some guts who demanded a cup run. Our record has been embarrassing compared to similar size clubs in cup competitions. Even if we loose against United it’s giving us experience of being in these situations and it lifts the bar, we really need to start going for things.
