Not going to say if that's a strong team or not as everytime I do we seem to play the opposite way.

Be nice if we started getting back to some decent football rather than in fits and starts.

Apparently the future is trying to win the FA Cup.

I get that Doomie but it's a very short term approach. If we can't risk a youngster or two on the bench in a home domestic cup match against a Championship side when can we? Of course Boro are a decent side and shouldn't be taken for granted but still...

I am all for a strong team but there should be a few prospects on the bench.

Going on about the 8-1 and how Wednesday made it hard for us. Hoping for an upset. God no.
Definitely sound down.

Looks like a Joan for me. Thanks for mentioning Mills, I'll steer well clear of that boring bitter bastard.

WTF Kompany is doing there ?!
You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.

i would've liked to have seen Dzeko start this one instead of Aguero.

Why would you want that?
Aguero badly needs the game time to get up to speed and we play Chelsea in a week so
