Man City (N) - FAC Semi Final, Sat 16th Apr 2022 (3:30pm)

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Hate playing these fucking cheat cunts. You literally have to be at the top of your game to get a draw, and play out of your skin to get a win. Cunts.

This game tho, I am gonna just kind of put it on in the background and not get too sucked in. 

Yeh, good luck with that, J.

Don't even joke about it. Last time I went to Wembley, the back of the bus home was full of dusty-nosed gobshites making everything unbearable for everyone else. And we lost.

 

I'm hoping for the exact opposite today.

A semi-final against City. I am gonna find this game difficult to enjoy. If I am watching us on telly, it is very rare that I don't give the match my full attention. This game tho, I am gonna just kind of put it on in the background and not get too sucked in. It really has the potential to cast a shadow on my mood for the rest of the evening - and my daughter has come home for the long weekend.

 

Come on, you mighty reds!

Yep. This is kind of how I feel. I had to give away my ticket as I was stuck home with Covid all week and hadn’t seen the kids for a fortnight. I deal with tension much better at the match than at home.

Double-decker coach with different songs upstairs and down.

 

These are the good times.

Fucking weird kick off time of 3:30pm but Jurgen's the one who has 'disrespected' thecup in the past?! Fuck off, the FA do enough to disrespect their own competition.

Up at 3am to make tea & toast. Setup sky sport now App & chrome-cast to tv. Drape scarf over couch. Await kick-off.

And I thought I was a wool with a 17.30 ko.

I feel like this is a must win for us. If we knock them out it will severely hurt them and might fuck them up in the other two competitions. The pressure of us achieving a quadruple or treble adds something to their games and mindset.

 

Lose, and the motivation and momentum it gives them to achieve a treble themselves might be a deciding factor. They have piss easy games in the league and should batter Madrid. We need to knock these fuckers out of their stride and land a physiological blow. Come on Liverpool!!

[JohnnyH]

I’ve a playdate with my lads, so I’ll be dipping in and out of twitter like in the league game. Fuck the cheating cunts.

Can't watch this today as my lad is playing at The Cavern. If we get through I'm cutting his fingers off for the final.

Awww, that’s so sweet

[Oh Buoy]

I'm going to be watching this whilst playing on the diggers at Otterspool Adventure. My little one can't hold herself up so I've reluctantly got to have the fun on her behalf. 

 

[bossy]

Just get it won mighty Reds.

[Creator Supreme]

To all who have travelled, get there safe, have a great day (fuck knows how you'll enjoy a 0-7 defeat like), and most important of all (especially this weekend) get back safe!

This 100%! I can't watch us on the telly, I can't listen to us on the radio, I can't even bear some cunt checking the scores on their phone and telling me.

 

At the match (not that I've been for a while) I'm sound, even if I'm sober, I can sing, I can shout, I can call Pep a cunt, and even if we get humped I'm down, but I can live with it.

We were shite against them both times this season and didn't lose either.

[Mark M]

Semi Finals at Wembley is just wrong. City can’t even sell their allocation 

[waddy78]

My heart has been pounding since about 1 hour ago thinking of this match even my Blood pressure tablets not done anything, we better fucking win so at least id die a happy man.

City cant sell out a home game tho to be fair.

It would be just as bad at the match if someone kept sticking their hand over your eyes every two minutes whilst suggesting every possible reason why the opposition might win, from a tactical switch in right midfield to an omen from 1949. That's the equivalent of TV directors cutting away from the action all the damn time while their commentator spouts the kind of crap that Tyler churns out. There's no logical reason why the game should be so agonising to watch on TV - but there are twats out there who actively make it so. They should get far more flak for it than they do.

[Colonel Bumcunt]

There's a lot to be said for 'luck' and circumstance that defy logic.  

 

I'm tempted to start Kelleher for no other reason than he's a lucky Wembley omen.

Totally agree. I find it worse not being able to watch a game we're playing and not attending.

 

In the old days of listening to 2nd half commentary with Bryon Butler and Peter Jones on radio 2, it was fucking agony hearing the words but not seeing the play.

Same.

 

Other than the playdate with your lads though. I'm not a weirdo.

[lebron]

I actually feel lie this one's a bit of a free hit before we return to the more important matters (PL/CL).

While I obviouly would like us to win, it' doesn't seem THAT disastrous if we shouldn't, as most one off cup games/semis have a bit of the luck factor connected to them anyway. 

 

Might also be that I'm very confident of a better display this time out than last. I both think City will be weakened (Walker/de Bruyne, tough game midweek) and we will simply be better set up.
