Next up is Barnsley at home on Saturday ... Kompany should be coming back but Aguero is out (and now Rodwell too) ... but we should still have sufficient quality on the pitch to see them off at Etihad.

Referees have been confirmed for the FA Cup Quarter Finals ... we get Anthony Taylor while they get their designated 12th man. Actually checkout their 4th official as well, not taking any chances at all, eh?

Saturday 9 March (12.45pm)

Cold beer? We're Mancs and we like Holts, Boddies, etc cellar temperature not Stella temperature

This game has sold out today, Barnsley will have 6000 away fans, 5.30 ko, night match, FA Cup Quarter-Final with the prospect of Wembley for the winners....I can't wait for this, should be a great atmosphere to cheer the lads on.

A repeat of the Leeds and Chelsea home performances and results will do very nicely

There is cold and there is freezing mate. @ £3.50 a pint i want it spot on ! ;)

Now papers saying Kompany won't return/risked for the FA Cup tie ... so no Aguero, Rodders, Kompany and Micah ...

Given its the QF stage now, does anyone think Mancini will bring in Hart in the goal now on or will Panti continue?

I think it matters to Panti!!

IMO Panti should go all the way to the final if we get there , he deserves it.
