Bastard, just had my Uni exam dates confirmed today.Have an exam on the 12th at 9.30am.Oh well, home leg only for me then.
I'm in Spain that morning, wondering if to risk trying to make the game with 90 mins between landing and kick off or just go home and watch it.
No chance you'll get back in time IMO.
Landing in Manc, need to stash my bag (probably just hand luggage) and then would be sat in their end. A lot of arsing about but hopefully worth it should it all come off.
1 Whole year of European nights stuffed into one game at Anfield. The King at the helm, a glorious weekday night.... being deadly serious City will have never ever in their history experienced an atmosphere like it. Could seriously scare the shit out of them.
Is Stoke game going to remain on Saturday 14th?
Knowing FA.. Im sure if they could they'd move it on 13th, unfortunately for them tho, there's no PL games on Fridays.
So Yaya Toure won't be playing in both legs, as he'll be away for the Africa nations cup, no?Well put it this way, I fucking hope so as he is a massive player for them - their fans won't admit it but they'll miss him.
You know what I don't care if lose to them in the league match leading up to the two CC semi final legs -as long as we put in a respectable performance, it will just lead to them under estimating us and going into it with a more casual mindset -personally losing 1-0 in a caging affair -which it most likely will be, could actually be a good thing -well it would be a bad thing and won't change our chances of knocking them out of the CC..
Daft, we should look to crush them regardless of the CC and go into each match with more and more confidence.
Don't understand this talk about having a draw at their place and beat them at Anfield. We'll beat them at their place and at ours!!
And if you truly believe that more power to you but realistically beating them twice over both legs is unlikely -well not easy- unless they play shite.
Liverpool V Newcastle, Friday 30th Dec, kick off 7.45pm.
So City draw Utd in the FA Cup. Quite a fixture list for them in January now
Utd in the FA Cup then the first leg against us 3 days later
Really excited about the League Cup. Big game feel. Really nice feeling to have.

They've still got an extraordinary first team and squad they will be missed in that busy period, especially the latter.
be even better if the city v manc game is a draw after extra time, ha ha,
Agreed. It's been a while since we've had a game of this level of importance, we all want a day out @ Wembley.
We’ll still finish in top four - and they won’t. You can quote me on this in May.
i doubt he'll miss the first leg, the tournament doesnt start until the 21st. Cant imagine the ivory coast will want him for more than 9 days before that
