***City v Southampton FA Semifinal Official Match Thread***

It's all a bit of fun and I think you forgot how to take a joke at this point snowflake.

"Snowflake" If anyone mentions pink or blue hair, or anything anti left you're the biggest snowflake in the world. Nice to see that it's just "a bit of fun" when it suits, but if Carl or I want a bit of fun it's a ban..

My man I completely ignored that shit from you after many attempts to get a rise out of me on it because I thought it was stupid. Is it a memory thing or are you attempting to rewrite history with a classic "I'm rubber, you're glue" defence?

Snowflake is the one who can't take it, you are getting offended on someone else's behalf FFS.

I mean, if you really need a "safe space" I can talk to my brother for you.

I don't need to say anymore. Glad you've proved me correct and it's there for everyone to see.

We used to slag off the rags and all belonging to them for being entitled. Nothing is a given in football. We've achieved unbelievable success under Pep and I've been a critic at times. We can all have a moan but we have to enjoy the highs ffs. Pep's not going to be here forever but his achievements for our club will.

Can I please point out that I detest Pep as a person, I think he is a self entitled elitist twat. I will celebrate when this excuse for a human being has left our country. I detest his views & his inappropriate behaviour. That is what I believe. I have supported City since 1964 but have standards. This person is not a fit & proper person to represent City. End of.

No Harry you can not point out who you detest. Btw i am a City supporter since 1959. That gives me the right to tell you young Urchins off.

That's so elitist, Harry won't stand for it.

Hilarious, you must have been a stand up comedian, you know with the self deprecating style

To have so many tickets unsold was embarrassing. Southampton had much the better support

I'm afraid it's a product of going to Wembley every 5 minutes and not having a large London fanbase

There are 82,542 inside Wembley for this semi-final.
That's 12,500 more than watched Manchester City defeat Southampton yesterday.

Too obvious. Please try harder next time

The point being ?

Two Premier League teams going at it ? One hungry for some success, the other a London Club . Not exactly expensive for the Chavs is it ?

A weekend when the London Marathon is on and most of the 50k runners need hotels with their hangers on as well and prices are really high. City also playing very late afternoon, whereas the chavs game is already over and the Leeds fans should easily be able to get a train back home. The chavs of course already down the pub celebrating another final

Wierd that it was very difficult for some fans to get tickets for the Carebao Cup final, a 'Lesser' competition than the FA Cup. Full house that time from the City fans. Perhaps the revelance of who the opposition was and the significance of the psychological battle for superiorty had an impact ? Compared to yesterdays opponents. Even if Soton beat the Arse

It is well known since the publication of the attendance figures towards the end of the game what the attendance was and with entire blocks empty that it was not full. Nevertheless over 70,000 for a Semi final is good.

Ha ha just got my Nieces fiance with that, he's an annoying gooner, who just so happened to be cheering his sister boyfriend who ran it today... he walked straight into it.

Well if I can make one person laugh...I'd probably go broke as a standup, you do really need to appeal to a crowd.

Every year they have a fringe festival here in Perth and a comedian I follow on insta offered to buy people tickets to see him, I am not sure he gets it either.

You make me laugh, which isn’t a bad thing. You need to improve on the hidden insult though, about as subtle as 500 ton wreaking ball.

I somewhat agree with those who say we need the semis played in neutral stadiums. At this point, it seems there aren't any teams left that didn't visit the new Wembley.
Plus, it is absolutely true that most of our fans are working-class human beings and simply modern football is a business, not a recreation like it was a long time ago.

Decent ticket prices and make Wembley accessible for the very best.

Playing at Wembley should be saved as a reward for reaching the final. Playing the semi finals there dilutes it for me. Plenty of top class stadiums to use all over the country.

We need to stop taking the tkts for the semis at wembley. Started off because the FA offered club wembley for 10years when they rebuilt it so they had the semis down there. That ended years ago so why we still playing down there now. Only way is to fuck it off

[CBEM]

Two northern teams hell any northern teams in the final and another more northern ground should be picked it's ridiculous that it has been held there for years it's not even as if it's the proper Wembley which shows how much they care about footballing culture.

Fuck the finals off from there too.
