stokeriño Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Wem-ber-ley! Apparently it might even be a warm and dry day. If so, huzzah! Have to paint City as the favourites - there's more pressure on them to win the FA Cup and get a trophy this season, and in our last four meetings City have won 3 and drawn 1. Still, have to be confident in Chelsea's ability to pull one out at Wembley (even if it's still weird not to have Drogba around for it). Bit unsure on the team as Ba may or may not be fully fit after having his ankle crunched last weekend, though it is "his turn" based on our Europa League rotation with Torres. Cahill I think is still out and maybe Cole too? We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stokeriño Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Yup. Just a bit more central and half a dozen rows further back than the one I had for the Spurs semi last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Fantastic game so far. City creating a fair few half chances, got a bit lucky with the goal but good persistence by Nasri. Milner really should've put iton a plate for one of about 3 players to make it 2-0 at the end of the half there too. Chelsea's gameplan of counter attacking at opportune moments looks like it might work though. It'd been a good watch, more of the same in the second half please.

Cymbols Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Keeper's impressed me. Apart from his kicking. But his saves have been neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I did like Torres' revenge achilles scrape on Aguero after Aguero jump-stomping into Luiz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summers Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Townsend saying Kompany hasn't done anything wrong when he's got Torres shirt held so much we can see Torres bare torso is just ridiculous. Shoulda been a penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 On one hand I'm liking the fact that Sir Chris Hoy MBE is letting the game run. On the other, he has missed some cynical stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Fantastic game, couple of dodgy decisions in that second half but I can't say I care - glad that Chelsea are out, looking forward to a City v Wigan final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Hughes Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Great game, great result. Pantilimon kept us in that game. Brilliant keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I for one am looking forward to the mighty Wigan representing us in the Europa League next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colly Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Better that than fucking Millwall. And of course I'm obliged to hate Wigan now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuka's Gonna Kill You Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Disgusting from Aguero. Seriously, what a fucking idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokeriño Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Three things I can pinpoint... 1) We didn't turn up in the first half. At all. Nor at the start of the second, apparently. 2) Some more changes should have been made in the second half but never were. Oscar in particular ought to have been replaced, probably by Moses. 3) The referee was completely and utterly terrible; mainly to the advantage of City, it has to be said. Whey, another semifinal forfeited. I look forward to the same in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainiac Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Regarding Aguero's Goomba Stomp on David Luiz, Luiz had been all over Aguero for a while before that incident. Doesn't excuse it though. Aguero will probably miss the final now due to a 1-3 match ban, and rightly so. And I say that as a City fan. That being said, I'm delighted we won. We owned the first half but I was seriously worried we were going to throw it away again in the second half after Ba's goal (seriously, how fucking good is that guy?). Wigan will be tough opposition in the final and no doubt they'll be the sentimental favourites but hopefully we can play them off the pitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summers Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Being all over someone is defending. Every defender does it. What Kun did was disgusting and inexcusable. I like him, always have but that was vile. Not sending him off and not awarding Torres the penalty at the end obviously changed the game.
