FA Cup 2015/2016

Make that 5-1.

CF will be nursing a hangover tomorrow.

Possibly. I wonder why he doesn't post on here anymore though.

Really bad hangover?

Just found out he is back posting. Hangover must be cured.

Chelsea coasting this.

[yuppie]

it really has all gone wrong at City

Another 5-1 scoreline in the cup today.

Id sack Manuel after today. Whats the point of even turning up if you go to one of the best teams in Europe away and play 8 kids in a competitive game.

As a Man City fan paying for a ticket and train, Id never go to another game again if I got to see my team not even trying to win a game.

Makes you wonder how much Pep will actually end up spending in the summer?

Man City have spent nearly £330,000,000 over the last 3 seasons and it looks like they will have nothing to show for it this season.....

BBC could have scheduled the matches better. Don't see the logic in showing Chelsea v Man City today when Man City have two huge matches on Wednesday and Sunday, then show Bournemouth v Everton on Saturday when neither side are playing midweek.

All this fanfare of the BBC claiming the FA Cup is bigger and better, maybe up to Round 3 but afterwards it's the predictable non event ties featuring the Sky 4.

Well I have said time and time again about Jose Mourinho, if you discount the insanity of the last 6 months on his career, one thing he does do better than anyone is acquire players in that range of good but not extravagant budget range that win leagues.

At the moment you feel anyone next summer who uses 100 million quid in a good way will win the league. Teams have spent so much money on sub par quality, you feel a lot of teams need to completely rebuild

Once again Man Utd are dominating a game without an end product.

[Aidan11]

Smalling shows the strikers what they are supposed to be doing.

[Aidan11]

Mata free kick makes it 2-0 and that should be it.

[budgetmeansbudget]

3-0 to Man U, LVG is a genius!

[Aidan11]

Only one game this round has gone to a replay.

I wonder which broadcaster has dibs on it.

The police wouldn't let the Chelsea game be played on Saturday, in part due to Fulham having a home game that day.

Anyway, I see little reason for the BBC to pander to a big club like City. If they don't want to play their main players twice in four days, then that's their choice - and if the replacements aren't good enough, well tough luck. What are they doing with all their money? Welcome to world of most other sides. Lots of sides play Sat-Tues or Thurs-Sun, PL or not. In fact, just the previous week Chelsea themselves were one of those who played Sat-Tues.

A brilliant pass by Meyler to Giroud...Arsenal break the deadlock.
