We’ve drawn City

[blade too long]

Wanker Pep

They're running scared already

 

[Toronto Blade]

Great KDB will be rubbing his hands together having to face Norwood and Fleck.

 

[manxblade]

Haaland will be in Egans pocket all game and Doyle and Mcatee will be available for the final against Brighton so good news around

 

[ATL Recs]

Gutted for Doyle and McAtee

Club can give dispensation for them to play doubt that they will

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Wanker Pep

Don’t worry, the lighting pace of John Fleck will fuck City up. Blue wankers.

 

[JJBlade]

Middle section of our end full of City fans because two days before the game were still giving priority to 25000 loyalty points holders
What could possibly go wrong

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Rigged to get the “dream” final.

Oh well, Jimmy Fleck is on stand by.

 

[Frank the tank]

Shame for the two lads and also negates the million to one shot we had of giving them a game
Still ,big day out no pressure
See what happens but the cup is not our priority this season

 

[1973Blade]

City play Bayern on the Wed, us on the weekend then Arsenal the following Wed. Might be they play their reserves against us.

The bad news is their reserves are still great players!

 

[Camden Blade]

Wanker Pep

Rules nowt to do with Pep

 

[HighfieldBlade]

i think pep will let the 2 city lads play surely he wont deny them a wembley experience they will beat us anyway so no big deal surely

I think you're right, but only about the first part. Keep the Faith

 

[ATL Recs]

The fa rules,

Can loan players play in the FA Cup?​

Loan players are not allowed to play against their parent club in the FA Cup, as it is explicitly stated in the Rules of the FA Cup that they are unable to play against their ‘Lending Club’.

The new rules of the FA Cup now prevent any loan player to play against his parent club.

Shit they used to allow the parent club the option

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

City can give permission for them to play as long as it's done by the squad deadline for the round

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Unfortunately, their reserves are still a fucking good team!

Their reserves are our two best players

 

[Gimli]

But have we got the Green Man or have City got it…?

Imagine drinking around Wembley itself, can't think of anything worse

[Camden Blade]

Wembley is a desert for drinking or around the stadium is, the high street part is a shit hole of the highest order. Remember drinking there after Hull semi.

 

[Chingo]

Don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it but how he drew them balls out of that bag was dodgy as!

I was last there for the Euros, very expensive

 

[vas borbokis]

Doesn't it say, "unless permission is given in writing from the lending club"??
Down to Pep isn't it?

Being realistic, if we try to match them at football, they'll murder us (see Burnley)
However if we play a defensive, low block against them we could frustrate them and maybe nick a set piece. Norwood and Fleck would be more suited to this formation.
It also rests Doyle and McAtee for the more important league games

 

[Benny]

Feel for the loanees. They always knew it was a possibility but that must feel cruel

 

[RammyBlade]

Well at least Doyle and McAtee can play in the final

 

[Bayingblade]

Don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it but how he drew them balls out of that bag was dodgy as!

Why did he draw out of the bag rather than emptying it into the bowl (as they always do now) after he'd carefully placed the balls in and not given it a shake?

Another one for the CT thread.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

City play Bayern on the Wed, us on the weekend then Arsenal the following Wed. Might be they play their reserves against us.

Soooooo...you're saying there is a chance, a million to one but a chance. It woud be the upset of the century and I'm not exagerating

 

[Houston_Blade]

At least I won’t be leaving disappointed this time, it’s a complete free hit and I expect us to get hammered. I’ve driven down and tubed in for the last few Wembley appearances so I could leave quicker if/when we lost.

Ok it was a long time ago but football can be full of surprises

 

[just ted]

They put some of the balls in the freezer so they can be distinguished apparently, to get the desired draws. Who the fuck knows
