FA Cup Semi-Final (played on 16/4/11): Manchester City v Manchester United


Recommended Posts

No Hernandez? But he's our Gary Lineker x 10! :( This is such a crucial game too!!! Surely it would make more sense to dispense with him against Newcastle on Tuesday? I hope Sir Alex knows what he is doing.


I want Hernandez! and at least one of the da Silva brothers, and Berbatov, and Nani...!!!


*logs off to dust off kit*

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...


Back from Wembley drowning our sorrows with chocolate brazils and strawberry cider.


I have one question for Sir Alex: what was your logic behind keeping back Hernandez? I just don't get it!


Even after it was evident that not including Hernandez was a mistake, he still delayed bringing him on until the 2nd half. Why? Can someone come up with a reason? I'm sure that had Hernandez been there from the outset, we would have scored at least twice in the first half. Damn...


Nani and Parke - you were a waste of space today. As for Scholes - you are a disgrace...


I hate to admit it, but City were the better side today.


Ah well...still a brilliant day though. I won't forget this day for a long time (thanks Jenayr for getting the tickets).


WEM-BER-LEY,

WEM-BER-LEY,

We didn't win the match,

But we had a jolly day.

WEM-BER-LEY,

WEM-BER-LEY.....


Roll on Tuesday against Newcastle.

But I didn't lose on United because Paddypower had a deal that if the game saw a red card, all losing bets would be refunded....ha ha...cheers Paul Scholes, I lost nothing and Paddypower lost a fortune lol. I really do find the best gambling deals in town.


You asked about Hernandez. He's not a player that is so effective as a lone striker. He needs an anchorman to run off from and with Rooney suspended I suspect Ferguson's thinking was that Berbatov would do better as a lone striker if he got isolated. Once Scholes was sent off there was no hope of Hernandez being effective. Both teams were playing a similar game/ formation but after half time City were the team who upped the tempo and basically went out to win the game.


Worth mentioning though that were it not for Joe Hart (who imo was the real man of the match) United would have been at least 1-0 up at half time.

Not a great fan of Rooney but he was missed yesterday by United. I can't see Scholes playing on next season though I hope he gets a chance to redeem himself before the end of the season, after that tackle. I'd have thought that, though bad, as it was quite high on the thigh it was less dangerous than the one on Nani at Liverpool for example.

> Haha Adrian Chiles for suggesting United's fans

> will be home in time after final whistle to catch

> post match interviews.


Ha ha indeed...we really couldn't get out of there fast enough TBH. The taunting/chanting from City fans got a bit much after a while. It was relentless...it just went on and on and on. Still, I can't blame them - I would have done the same had the shoe been on the other foot.


I forgot to mention Berbatov above: another waste of space yesterday. All in all, United may as well not have bothered turning up: the effect wouldn't have been a lot different. City deserved to win: no question.


As for THAT shocking tackle...it was full of malice: no remorse from Scholes whatsoever. Red card fully deserved. And agreed, probably the worst this season.


Grumpy United Fan.

    • You can make cider from a variety of varieties of apple.  If course the best is west country/SW Midlands which is predominantly cider apples, that can be so tart it knocks your head off.  But cider producers often add desert apples, and Breton and Normandy ciders are sweeter.  
    • Hi,  We are welcoming a puppy to our family in a couple of months, and since I'm new to the area, I'm looking for some local recommendations.  I am looking for the following:  Highly recommended vet  Groomers (they are a cavapoo, so will be a regular!)  Group puppy training classes  Thank you 🙂
    • I too am very sorry to hear this, taliax7. It must weigh heavily over you and your family. 
    • We did L-shaped conversion and put the bathroom in the middle so could be shared by both front and rear bedrooms and strongly recommend this. We'd stayed in places with ensuite bathrooms in front bedroom and didn't want kids / guests having to walk through front bedroom from back bedroom. All of our loft rooms feel spacious and have lots of light. You can add more roof windows and adding a side window in addition to rear window on back bedroom makes a huge difference to the feel and light. Think how you'll use the rooms and where the furniture will go; and pay attention to where you'll have reduced headroom as this catches lots of people out and having to make mid-build changes. Suggest view your neighbours lofts and see what you like and what you don't. Hope this helps
