[Football] Sheffield Utd v Manchester City FA Cup Semi Final

[Wokeworrier]

To be fair, City under Pep do take the domestic trophy's seriously. Always playing strong sides despite the Premiership and Champions league being the main goal.

The word "fair" and Man City should never be used in the same sentence. Our semi final against them was also a sterile non event.

Mega rich club charged with numerous breaches of financial rules beats lower league inferior team *shock*.

I personally think both semis should be played at the same time like they used to be.

So many good stadiums available now with big capacity’s so no need for Wembley Semis anymore.

Well you seemed to have given up already if we reach the final. Man City lost to Southampton in the League Cup this season?

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Can't believe I switched it off to watch the Wrexham game.

It's more unbelievable that anyone would carry on watching that when the Wrexham game was on the other side

Our squad was vastly inferior when we faced them last time but even our current team will struggle to beat them unless they have an off day.

I see the attendance was 69k

Sheff U sold 32k, city less! Surprised Sheff didn’t sell out.

Must be expensive supporting City.

Not read the whole thread, but 69,000 attendance and loads of empty seats

Discuss.

Entitled City fans can’t be arsed with semis. Club Wembley ticket holders not interested in a one-sided affair. Simple really.

Two good points, well made.

Here's a couple of other things that surprise me though.

1. Sheff United didn't sell out their allocation. I had them down as a proper old school club with a very large fan base. Probably doesn't help with the city being split in half though tbf.

2. Citeh, despite the trophies they've bought, still don't appear to have a large cohort of plastics along for the ride, unlike Chelski when they bought trophies. Odd.

Nah, we’re going to completely f*** both sides of Manchester

I'm not entirely sure the city fans deserve such a hard time over this.
Shite draw, shite location, shite ticket price, shite tonne of 'bigger' games upcoming.

They'll sell out the final and all their allocations between now and then.
Many will have half an eye on Turkey, when fights and accommodation prices will mysteriously increase by 500%.


TBH I have no idea why so many on here are behaving giddy aunts about tomorrow.
You'd think they'd been asked on a date by Ann Kendrick.

To me it feels more like Ann Widdicombe.

 

[Questions]

VAR is good at getting (nearly) all the decisions right…….. Can’t stand it but would hate to lose to Forest next week because Johnson punches the ball in the net on Wednesday… That's why it’s there.

 

[amexer]

I don't blame City supporters for not selling out. Some very expensive trips coming up 2 abroad and a Wembley final. With the millions involved would like to think the club would at this stage of season subsidise travel and or match tickets but football clubs don't think like that.
