[Football] Up for the Cup?

[Meade's Ball]

At 2-0 I turned to watch the last episode of Don't Forget the Driver, and now I'm in the bath. Interested in a possible upset but not a diamond-encrusted trouncing. Where's the fascination in the richest proving they can out buy the rest of us?

5-0. Embarrassing for the game. Unfair and we should all be very angry, no matter how pretty the football is. Level the playing field #FFP @ChampionsLeague @EmiratesFACup [MENTION=34361]PremierLeague[/MENTION]

They need to be punished for unfair financial play. This is not good for football. I remember when City were a real club.

We are still floating and didn’t sink.

Good point.

Shows how much football is dying. If Liverpool or Spurs win the CL, they'll be considered to have had a better season, than the side who won the treble.

It is surprising how many of them miss the days of losing 2-1 at York City and drawing with Wrexham in what is now League One, but it was the season they won that crazy game at Wembley with Gillingham at 2-0 down in the 91st minute. Five minutes later 2-2, then extra-time and Nicky Weaver was the hero in the penalty shoot-out.

#Real football.

Shows how UTTERLY deluded Ian Wright is: "I don't begrudge City at all. Those fans know bad times. They have been through the lower divisions"

The world has gone mad.

Let me think draw and go to penalties or get destroyed 5+0... not sure yet

0-0's are not a good advert for football especially for the neutral after 120 mins. I think the priority has to be entertainment for the worldwide audience. Certainly in cup competitions when the league status isn't at stake.

I watched the game and it is pretty spectacular the way Man City play. My main takeaway though is, Thank God we didn't get to the final.

 

[Icy Gull]

Had enough of Man City. Success 95% bought with money. They are NOT good for our game imo.

The gushing is really starting to piss me off

 

[Knocky's Nose]

I didn't watch the game and I won't be watching the highlights. What fun is it watching the school bully punch the little kid with glasses for the 500th time?

I used to love the FA Cup Final - when it was a competition. As soon as you throw Citeh in with any club who isn't top six the anal fisting express leaves platform one for a non-stop journey to Manchester. Boring.

**** the neutrals

This could happen against any top6 team. We got thumped 5-0 with 11 men behind the ball.

Yep.

But it's undeniable that City would not be as good as they are without their oil reserves.

But we would have been playing Watford!!

Gonna swim against the tide here, I absolutely love watching City, as a team and individually they are brilliant.

Ha! That hadn't occurred to me!

Yes, but it wears thin after a while imo. It’s like watching a Ferrari racing a Ford Mondeo, once it’s not competitive it’s a bit Harlem Globetrotters, just entertainment without an edge.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

0 - 6.........

No doubt all but committed City fans hoped for a Watford victory but at least it makes Brighton look a little better.
At least we scored against them....

 

[Surrey Phil]

Don’t think anyone can complain next season when teams play their reserve players, as ultimately you can’t win the cups any more!

This.
25 great players, bought partly with oil money, mean injuries can never, ever hurt ManC.

Has this happened in football history before? I can only think of the Real Madrid Galactico’s where a similar situation was contrived.

Why is this good for the sport?
