**WBA V City Official Match Thread**

[shawzy]

Given out..Hes let as many goals in as what Harts done in 8 games and hes up against friggin West Brom.

[Manx Blue]

30 left is our saving grace.

With all the talk of splits in the camp, lets see how much character we have

[david yearsley]

We just don´t sound interested - they want it more

[Goaters 103]

Big joke if we crash out. Who are we after 35 years of being potless to sniff at a chance of winning a trophy. Trying hard not to dislike Roberto but he does test my fooking patience at times.

Spot on.

totally agree we have a better chance of winning this than any other trophy, we should play our strongest team regardless of what competition!!!!!

[Mark (Blue Army)]

If this goes to 3-1 we can forget it.

[Green & Blue]

Oh well, plenty of time left

Very optomistic for a city fan I must say!!

Sorry, Mancini out

[Beefymcfc]

It's just to easy. We like to keep possession, they like to score; earn your fuckin money Mancini, it's not as if we've not been under pressure since we scored ffs!

[Blue Since 76]

I'm a Mancini fan, but if we lose tonight, he dereves all the stick he gets and potentially his P45. We haven't earned the right to ignore any competition, especially one where other teams generally play weak teams. The rags have that right, as do chelsea and arsenal. We don't. Cups might not be important in Italy, but they are here.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Its still all WBA. WTF is Mancini thinking now? Get a fucking sub on, changethe game theres 30mins remaining.

He will wait untill the last 10 to make a change, fucking joke.

[Manx Blue]

If this goes to 3-1 we can forget it.

We could be 5-1 down by the sounds of things

That team selection is a fucking joke, so I agree totally.

Maybe a smallest trophy we have a chance of winning but who gives a fuck.

My gut feeling is too much focus on this weekends game v Chelski and not enough focus on tonights game

Hughes had his critics but at least he had the brains to know that the Carling Cup was a good place to try and end a 35 year wait for a trophy.

We are being torn apart here embarrassing.

[bluej]

Any particular reason Milner isn't on yet?

Mancini has acted like he has already won these cups with Man City......he took the piss with the line up and in my opinion he ha sbeen taking the piss more often than not since he has been in charge.

I dont rate this comp at all as most teams do take the piss.....but in the same breath I agree with most that this is our chance to actually put something in the fucking Trophy Cabinet once and for all.

[citytilidie]

i don't care whether it's the FA cup, Europa league, carling cup, johnstones paint fucking trophy - I want a cup final day out. fuck sake

If West Brom win this, they've got a decent chance of winning the competition with a favourable draw. That's how fucking ridiculous this selection is. A trophy sitting there begging us to come & win it & we're giving it 3rd rate status.

[Mike J]

sorry mr mancini but you are starting to really fuck me off.
