Maybe because he was excellent for Barcelona in 2 league winning campaigns and was never anything except a class act while at the club.

I didn't ask was he good in the past in an all dominating team. I asked why do you love him. He's absolutely rubbish in goals.

Andersonisgod

Penalty! It's a miracle!!

Yes, you asked me why I love him, because he was a brilliant member of the club I support. Like most fans who support football clubs, I remember good ex players fondly. Can't be that difficult to comprehend surely.

Floodgates should open now, maybe the visitors have been a bit too expansive.

Burial.

Huddersfield playing some Junior B Hurling stuff in defence. Awful sloppy.

Nice one Zabba!

Sure how am I supposed to know you support Barca. I thought you were a Chelsea, city, bayern fan.

So to be clear you're actually a Barca fan. OK that makes some element of sense then with regards Bravo. No sense at all with your posting on city though.

Harry Palmr

Game over

Andersonisgod

Great football. When you see City's tempo increase and that ball is whizzing about at breakneck speed it's quite a sight.

Burial.

Aguero has been playing like a man possessed since the wonderkid got injured.

Just to be clear, you've spent 3 posts analysing me, rather than a rather good Man City performance. I won't be responding to you again.

Could (should?) be 4 or 5 ahead now. Hit the woodwork twice and at least one penalty not given. Get one more goal and then get the likes of Sane, Kun and Kev off.

They're playing a second choice championship team...
Calm down there.

blueser

A Bravo save! I'm off for a lie down in a darkened room.

Ever since Huddersfield have stopped tried to defend with their hand, they've not been in the game.

The first handball has to be given.

blueser

Lovely finish by Kun.

Andersonisgod

Oh my! That's a picture-book goal. Starting with Bravo brilliantly finding Garcia at the start of the move, City maneuvered the ball into forward areas, restarted the move and found the point of penetration. Huddersfield didn't touch the ball.

Key Point here: Huddersfield.

Ehm, they're as good, if not better than Sunderland.

Don't care. An excellent goal is an excellent goal and that was an excellent goal.

Burial.

4 goals and 2 assists in 2 games whilst playing fantastic throughout. Bit of a turn around in form for Kun.

Andersonisgod

BBC have chosen Billing as MOTM. It can only be BBC covering a City game when City win 4-1 and an opposing player gets MOTM. He wasn't even the best central midfielder on the pitch, Fernandinho has been on a different level. Sterling, Aguero De Bruyne all solid shouts too.

blueser

Job done. On to the Stadium of Light on sunday now.

Burial.

Iheanacho deserves more time, even in that XI. He seems to always score from the bench. Such a quality player.

Andersonisgod

And now Sinclair is comparing Guardiola to Kevin Keegan and I'm choking with laughter on some salt and vinegar Walkers crisps so my BBC viewing experience is complete.

blueser

That second goal by Kun really was a classy strike. Lovely ball in by Raheem and a cracking finish.

FA cup matches should not be on a Monday. TV Nonsense. That game should be on 4pm on the Sunday.

The Talking Bread

Set up more or less (of course not guaranteed, don't bite my head off!!) for Man City, Arsenal, Spurs and Utd/Chelsea semis. Decent

4pm on the Sunday is Liverpool V Burnley in the league guess BBC did not want to step on Sky's toes

Wouldn't be surprised if Middlesboro put out City same goes for Spurs playing Millwall

Surprised they didn't stick with having games on Friday and have 1 game over 4 days!

I wouldn't be surprised if they both are 2-2 draws, and in the replay all 4 keepers are sent off and 2 last minute goals decide the game.





What I'm saying is it would be surprising if either Millwall or Boro get past their respective opponents. Possible but would be surprising if both City and Spurs don't go all out to win the Cup with strong teams now that the league is more than probably out of their grasp.

At the time TV was sorted out Spurs were still in the Europa League.

Arsenal play on the Tuesday, Man City play on the Wednesday and Man Utd play on the Thursday, so no game was ever going to be on the Friday night

GreNoLi

Boro to cause an upset.

Fr Tod Umptious

No replays from this point on by the way, extra time and penalties.

City 1 up after 2 mins by the way

Agent Coulson

City 1 up after 2 minutes this could easy be 10 nil too City if they keep going like this.

The amount of chances we missed today is criminal, really. It should have ended up, what, 5 or 6? Against better opposition, we won't get away with that sort of (non)finishing.

GreNoLi

Will Lincoln leave a log on the emirates pitch, unlikely, 5-0.

Andersonisgod

"How many teams go to ***** and play 4-4-2?" has become one of the great English football cliches of this decade.

GreNoLi

The new sportinglife site design is garbage.
