I would expect Chelski and Leicester to join us in the draw, us take the Saints in the semi and face Chelski in the final

I do hope so, JK. Given our recent form v the rags, I’m fingers and toes crossed for a Leicester win tomorrow.

Saints in the semi and Blades in the final will do me to complete the easiest route to Football Association cup glory since Sheik yer Booty invented togger way back in 2008.

if and it’s a big IF we manage to get past Chelsea and Leicester beat Saints it could be a repeat of the 69 final

One of my earliest memories of supporting City......I think we had just gotten our first colour tv

A very tough semi for us, but we will prevail

Tuchel is proving a success at Chelsea, no doubt about that. He has made them difficult to break down but they are not yet prolific goalscorers.
A difficult game, no doubt, but we have more class.

No favours for City here - 5.30pm on the Saturday following the Dortmund second leg on the Wednesday. I thought we'd be sure to get the Sunday.

There never are any favours when it comes to us.

Nah. They screwed us before when we played Chelsea in the FA Cup under Pellegrini. Barstewards.

Chelsea will play both their CL games against Porto in Seville, so City and the Londoners are on their travels in semi final week - I think Chelsea's game is on Tuesday, so the only possible advantage is one day's extra rest. Here nor there.

All fixtures should have been moved to the Sunday, as a true mark of respect
