Some good ties there that should be interesting, we have a tough tie, we are so depleated its untrue and Mancini has said he will play a full strength team. Boyata, Vidal and in the squad and Weiss will probably start unless SWP is back. We have a shocking record at Boro but with their current form and our turn around under Mancini i think we will have enough to beat them.

How are Sky going to get enough pundits at 3 PM to cover all those....

We'll probably lose at Reading, would like to see this team though:

--------------------------Reina------------------------------------

---Kelly/Darby........Carra............Agger................Insua..............

.....Benayoun----------Lucas-----------Gerrard-----Babel ()

----------------------Pacheco----------Ngog----------------------------

Let Nando sit this one out and focus on having him fit for Spurs.

Interestinginly the club knocking out Middlesbrough has gone to lose in the final in each of the last five seasons...so thats us out in the 3rd round.

Rafa said in his interview that he may put a stronger team than expected out, as he belives a good run in the FA cup will "Boost" Liverpool.

In Rafa We Trust

The magic of the cup isn't being flouted by the tv companies this year is it? Just one game on tv at 5...

What channel is the Liverpool game being played on?

ITV

Any team news?

I have word that the Newcastle team is indeed in Home Park as we speak.

How you enjoying life in the championship Kimmy? You're doing very well yet you have basically the same dross players as you had last season? Does this mean the Championship is a joke?

The championship is a joke, it's a league of Heskey's, Cattermole's, and Huth's. And yes i am enjoying it, we're doing well with the same dross players, but those dross players have a much better work ethic than they did last season. There were some bad influences in the squad, some of them have gone, and the cliques have been broken up. Obviously if we go up the likes of Butt, Geremi, and Barton will have to go, but the rest can stay.

Villa and Everton 1-0 up

Carslile equalise!

How the fuck did we lose to Portsmouth, dear oh dear

-------------------Reina-------------------

Darby----Carra--------Skrtel----Insua

No Pacheco on the bench is a bit annoying really but good team.

3 games, 3 wins, and no goals conceeded... Mancio City is doing well!

Lets see how they do against Man utd now...

Worst 3rd round ever ?

Aston Villa 3 - 1 Blackburn
Bolton W. 4 - 0 Lincoln C.
Everton 3 - 1 Carlisle U
Fulham 1 - 0 Swindon T
Middlesbrough 0 - 1 Manchester C.
Milton Keynes Dons 1 - 2 Burnley
Nottingham F. 0 - 0 Birmingham C.
Portsmouth 1 - 1 Coventry C.
Sunderland 3 - 0 Barrow
Tottenham H. 4 - 0 Peterborough U.
Wigan Athletic 4 - 1 Hull C.
Stoke C. 3 - 1 York C.


Not an upset in sight !

1-0 City FT a great win even though it wasnt a great performance, but given we had probably the weakest team we could put out playing im very happy plus we got another clean sheet. Good to see Boyata have a solid debut, he was very impressive to be honest.

Good day for betting though

Do correct me if I ma wrong, but weren't City conceeded bucket loads against shite teams before?? Hadn't they conceeded 3 goals each against teams like Sunderland, Burnley & bolton recently?

3 consecutive wins without conceeding are an excellent results for any team against any opposition.

Col U

This is his honeymoon period, atleast wait and see how he does against half-decent opposition before kissing his ass. Also he has to do more than just better than Hughes to be considered a success.

@ blue We will never win with Kimbo he will always look for some reason to put us down.

We couldnt have done any better really, 3 clean sheets is fantastic after being so shocking at the back. Plus we are missing so many players (Lescott, Toure, Onuoha, Johnson, Ireland, SWP, RSC, Adebayor etc) at the moment Mancini has done fantastically well so far. Weiss and Boyata were great today and nice to see Vidal, Tutte and Trippier getting some first team experiance.

I wonder if a team has ever scored 7 in one game and conceeded 7 in another game in the same season.

WHAT?

Get over yourself goater, you've beaten 3 championship standard sides. Forgive me for not creaming myself over this. We've been beating championship sides all season with clean sheets, aren't we awesome.
