Is the game on Tv?

Xavi6 · 13-03-2011 5:06pm

Ooooh we get our own thread.

Last chance saloon for SWP imo.

I've stuck a few quid on De Jong to score any time at 25/1. Has to happen at some stage!

Winner gets to play Utd

Fancy City strongly here. Think Readings run of good results against PL teams about to come to an end.

Melion · 13-03-2011 5:14pm

Its on ESPN

City, if they win, will be at home to utd. I reckon this will be replay at 2-2 and reading will progress through ..

The semi-finals are at Wembley as The FA need the money to cover the cost of the over budget stadium.

**** it anyway, dream final is gone

I know there's still reading and a Semi final before we got to the Final but who wasnt thinking it! Balls

Nightmare more like. I'd top myself if we lost to them in a final. Couldn't think of anything worse so semis wil do me just fine.

Same here, nightmare scenario. similar to the possiblility of a Utd Liverpool CL final a few years back when Utd beat Chelsea in the final. City will break the 35 year jinx enough. Don't want Utd involved on that day

Kick off is at 12.45am on a work night for me. I need something a bit out there to keep me interested!

antodeco · 13-03-2011 5:32pm

We wouldnt lose!:cool:

Ah no i get what your saying, was probably just thinking about how it would feel if we actually won! But ye your right, the cons outweigh the pros!!

And is De Jong not 25/1 first goalscorer? He's 9/1 anytime i thought?

Yep 25/1 any time and 64/1 for first scorer (Betfair).

Jesus thats savage... If there was only one way to love that man more it would be seeing him stick one in the back of the net for ya so!

Im expecting another resonably uninspiring performence but we get through in the end... Prediction?

A nervy 2-1 to us. You?

3-1 to us, and one where we get the 3rd in the last ten to seal it, but it could have gone either way till then! Hard to see us not conceeding these days!

Pal · 13-03-2011 5:55pm

is it unfair on both City and Reading that the draw is already made ?

CR 7 · 13-03-2011 6:01pm

Balotelli looks delighted with himself to have a pink beachball.:pac:

starbelgrade · 13-03-2011 6:03pm

Lively enough start for Reading.

Looks like this might be a good game.

Must be one Steven Ireland left behind.

JohnnyRyan99 · 13-03-2011 6:08pm

Great to see Nige back.. We dont work well in the middle at all without him!

Xavi6 · 13-03-2011 6:18pm

That Silva fella can pick a pass.

JohnnyRyan99 · 13-03-2011 6:25pm

Can we shoot from somewhere else on the field please! Skillz there from Silva though!

Blatter · 13-03-2011 6:29pm

David Silva, excellent player.

He is an example to use when proving that stats can be over rated. He may not score a lot or make an assist in every game but his Footballing intelligence/ball retention/first touch/passing/movement is all top class.

I'd be interested to see how many goals he creates indirectly through making space for others with his movement/key passes in a build up to a goal etc.

Pal · 13-03-2011 6:34pm

these pair are afraid to beat each other because the booby prize is Man U .

why did they do the draw ?

Doh !

Well done, you got it one. Here's your prize -

JohnnyRyan99 · 13-03-2011 6:58pm

Magical from Silva!! Fúck it anyway!!!

RandolphEsq · 13-03-2011 7:00pm

Taxi for Tevez

Xavi6 · 13-03-2011 7:02pm

There's college basketball on tv with Erin Andrews doing the sideline reporting. So tempted to switch over.

JohnnyRyan99 · 13-03-2011 7:02pm

What the hell is up with Tevez today! All over the shop!

BOHtox · 13-03-2011 7:06pm

Aul Micah is having a bit of a storming season isn't he? Possibly the most improved player in the PL.
