------------------------

This will be Manchester United’s 10th FA Cup semi-final under Sir Alex
Ferguson and their only defeat came in 2009 on penalties against Everton

No team has scored two goals in an FA Cup game against Man Utd since Middlesbrough in March 2007.

Man City have only won two of their last seven FA Cup matches against top flight opponents.

Man Utd have scored winning goals in the final 15 minutes of four of their last six matches against City in all competitions

City and United have been drawn together six times, with City winning the first two ties and United the last four in a row.

The first ever meeting between City and United in the FA Cup came at the
semi-final stage, with City going on to lose the final to Bolton.

--------------
Come on United

Man City 2-1

City win easy.

You forgot United after Extra Time, City after Extra Time in the poll.

Surely it would have been easier to have the game somewhere up north?


But I think Man Utd will have too much for City.

Berbagod to bless us with his brilliance.

Sorry

Glad Tevez is out, Evens up the field

Silva did feature in the Liverpool game. So did De Jong I think.

I probably shouldn't poll agaisnt United, because the last few times it didnt work, but I still picked City

Yeah sorry about that. They didn't start the game, they came on as subs. that's what I meant

Yeah you voting on a poll makes the difference.
___________________________

Will be a tight game and I can't see City setting up with 2 strikers like they did v Liverpool, after that result.

Think they'll have Barry De Jong and Toure on, With Silva Dzeko and Johnson/Milner.

Rooney will be a huge miss the way he's been playing recently but hopefully Berba can come in and do well.

Could go either way really, would be so big if we won because the final is a very winnable game, with no disrespect to the other teams still in it.

Should be a good day, hope the beer isn't too expensive at Wembley.

We all know that only Kyro makes the difference

Shut up kyro.

Even though you don't, I love you really.

8-7 City.

Without Tevez I don't see city winning tbh, unless balo plays well.

I want City to win for a variety if reasons

Reckon City will go:

Balo annoys the fuck out of me tbh. When he plays well he bangs them in for fun. When he is shit you'd be better with fucking Bebe.

Zzonked, your best bet is to go to the huge ASDA, up near the torch pub (Train station side), crates are much cheaper than buying in the mini shops and pubs/stalls.

You have to have your bag searched and any alcohol is removed isn't it?

I'm quite liking Man Utd on Fifa atm, using them online and i've been unbeaten ever since. Therefore, I want a United win

Obviously not having Rooney is a massive blow for United, they are gonna have to play 2 strikers, Berbatov and Hernandez.

City's defense is rock solid, especially with the beast that is Vincent Kompany in there.

Predicting a tight game to start with, and i can see City winning this 2-1. Still though, never write off United.

Don't forget they're without Tevez.

Yeah but they still have plenty of goal scoring options. Dzeko, Ballotelli, Johnson, Silva, etc.
