Manchester City v Aston Villa Match Thread

Glad I'm not alone.  Can't believe the team selection.

With Reading next, standing in the way of a semi-final I can't believe we're not going 100% to win this.  FUCK THE PREMIERSHIP.  I'd rather win the FA Cup and get relegated than lose this and finish 7th.

Agree in part. Strongest team should be out tonight.

Wouldn't want to get relegated regardless of whether we won this cup or not though.

Why not just concede the tie and save everyone the time and trouble including neutral TV viewers? Shocking team selection - an insult to the FA Cup and we fans.

[Brazilian Villain]

This is our biggest game of the season and we seem to be running out behind a white flag. Hope I'm wrong but this seems deranged.

Joke. I agreed with Moscow. We were third or fourth in the league, and it was the last 32 of the UEFA Cup. Now we are mid-table, with this game and a favourable draw between us and Wembley. White flag is right.

This.

I don't think I have ever been this angry about a team selection. Reading waiting in the quarter finals and a good chance that Citeh would rest players with the matches they have coming up. All in the context of our bitterest rivals having just secured their first trophy for 50 years.

As someone said earlier about GH. Doesn't get it and never will!!

The fonz looks lost, but Bannan has started well and Gabby has got into a couple of great positions, but just lacks the quality to do anything with it half the time.

Nice shot from the wee man there!

[Brian Taylor]

They should not let it affect them adversely..Keep pressing forward. They froze in penalty box. 
Gabby is up for it...Come on chaps!!

[PaulWinch again]

Chance for Bannan, on wrong foot. Very good football.

[JUAN PABLO]

good football, that was a chance

[Bad English]

Good stuff Villa! Come on!

[usav]

Good chance that for Bannan

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

We've shown some good signs actually.

[levico]

How could someone as small as Bannan get under the ball so much?

[bertlambshank]

Should of done better.Loads of space on both flanks.

[andyh]

another corner..oh fuck

[The Left Side]

Silva looks handy, wish he was on our side.
