Most of the City team have stopping the opposition off to a fine art - they tend not to whack or leg up the opposition they run into the back or side of them.
They aren't proper city anymore,just an Arab franchise,a state owned club who aren't interested in competing fairly but just want to buy up anything and everything regardless of the impact and any financial rules.
Buying and bringing through kids who have no chance of a career at city just so other big clubs can’t have them.

Spot on Edge, and nice to see you around again...!
But talk about a game of fine margins. The GLTech showed our first half chance failed to cross the line by 11.7mm...Sané's winner was beautifully struck after a flowing move, but the margin by which it went in, rather than coming back off the far post, was probably not much greater.
As for Aguero's goal.... a truly wonderful strike which I could only, if glumly, admire.
City finished better, and Guardiola's defensive tactics were near-perfect. With Fernandinho back in, they seemed almost impenetrable. Every game is indeed a cup final now...every point counts in large amounts, as Depêche Mode almost sang...Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 05-01-19, 19:19.

While it would be churlish to deny FA Cup 'giant-killers' their moment of glory, isn't it the case that Premier League and Championship teams often rest many of their 'stars' for this competition? I read, for example, that Sheffield United made 10 changes from last week's starting XI and that Cardiff also fielded a team from which many of their top players were missing - at least to start with.
I gather that one of the big stories from the 3rd round is that a substituted Manchester United went and sat in the wrong seat and was asked to move.
