Match Officials Referee: Peter Bankes Assistant Referee: Adam Nunn Assistant Referee: Neil Davies Fourth Official: Andre Marriner
Peter Bankes spotted out marching to Wednesdays game
This is a repeat of the FA Cup Quarter Final game in 2019 where Manchester City scored the winning goal from an offside position, the referee that day ? Yes, you guessed it Andre Marriner. He made a variety of what can only be described as very questionable decisions in Manchester City’s favour that led to the winning goal and second goal. Incompetence is the best thing he can claim, even Guardiola said after the game ‘ yes, the goal was offside and it wasn’t a penalty but you need luck sometimes’ Very comforting.
Andre Marriner, won the last FA Cup game between the sides in 2019
Married Aston Villa supporting lunatic Andre Marriner has seen his fair share of controversy over the years, the fifty year old referee from Birmingham has never been that far away from either questionable decision making or complete and utter incompetence. Hopefully on Wednesday the nugget will stick to his role and prevent himself for trying the same stunt again. When I say stunt ...
In 2019 Marriner whose integrity is never in question, made numerous questionable decisions when he was pictured with a young Asian girl on his knee in Indonesia at a charity event. On the Thursday night of the week long trip Kevin Friend, Martin Atkinson, David Coote and Marriner posed for photos with six women at Brewski & Co bar in Batam’s Nagoya Entertainment District, infamous for its red light district. Marriner of course remains with his integrity intact. If you like.

We will leave the sleazy side of refereeing for now, and hope 150k a year plus 2k a game match fees ( England only, international fees extra ) referee Andre Marriner keeps it in his trousers on Wednesday.
Man City hold the aces when it comes to previous performances between the sides. Leave aside the game we all know should have gone the way of Swansea and still Man City are clear favourites. We have to go back thirteen games for a swans win, that was 1-0 back in 2012, sub Luke Moore scoring the winner.
The teams that day were -
Swans: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Taylor, Routledge (Monk, 87), Britton, Allen, Sinclair, Sigurdsson, Graham (Moore, 79).
Man City: Hart, Richards, K. Toure, Savic, Clichy, De Jong (Johnson, 84), Barry (Aguero, 37), Nasri, Y. Toure, Silva (Dzeko, 87), Balotelli.
Gun toting, human firework and self obsessed idiot Balotelli blasted the ball away in frustration on several occasions during the game, Rodgers then swans manager called it a ‘Wonderful day’ for supporters of the club. The swans have earned several draws since then but no victories. We have to go back to 1984 for another swan win 4-1 at the vetch and then to April 1982 when 2-0 was the score line, a certain Garry Stanley scoring a much celebrated tap in from 41 yards.
Relive that game from 1982 here
Manchester City ‘The facts’ Man City, now have a womens team, they are called Woman City, this keeps them in tune morally and genderly with todays millennial chipmunks. Founded in 1880 as St. Mark's (West Gorton) which is a stupid name they changed it to Manchester City after that. When you think the club formed four years after the death of General, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer after being surrounded by Sue and her mates it makes you realise how old the club is. In 1956 they had a fisherman goalkeeper called Bert Trautmann, a Jerry, who has to put up with some tremendous abuse in professional football in the fifties.Whilst the people of Manchester were still putting their windows back in after years of trying to buy windows after the war ended, there was much hostility. However Bert won their hearts in the 1956 final which Man City won. During the game he broke his neck but continued playing. It was later revealed he also played with two broken legs, a broken wrist, multiple bum lacerations from the then spiked stud and a slight graze to his elbow. The latter was treated with beer, Trautmann refused all treatment and the next day ran home to his house in Berlin, which also had no windows. So, a lovely story there from history.
Bert holding his head on after the 1956 FA Cup final
As Manchester’s second team for most of their history stories like Bert’s are often repeated. There was nothing else to talk about for years. Up until 2008 Manchester City were rubbish, then a bloke from an urbanised hot place came along and bought several titles, cups and managers. That’s how football works. The fans of ‘Citeh’ have a song called Blue Moon, which isn’t their song. Brit band Blur are keen followers of ‘Citeh’ and their lead singer says ‘ Citeh’ very well. It has to be said many good things have come out of Manchester and stayed out of Manchester to their credit. Nothing else is known about Man City other than their manager Peppermint Pig can get very minty at times, that was pork I know.

Hang on mate you’ve been on here starting a crusade against anyone who has given any sort of criticism to Steve Cooper, while at same time claiming Yan Dhanda should be playing for Ammanford.

Crusade ? I post what I see. Cooper deserves his plaudits and in equal measure constructive criticism. Despite being a big fan I also see his weaknesses which Birch did a huge job in addressing. Winter it seems has picked up the mantle.
Dhanda is not what we need, esp in the MGW space. Anybody can see that. Worries me why Cooper hasn't yet.

Personally I would have played Bennett at the back tonight which would have given us much needed experience. Playing a back 3 of 3 21 year olds against Man City was too big a risk and we paid dearly for it tonight.

Bennett is our very best signing for quite some time. The penny will slowly drop for some.
When he plays we are in control. When Cabango steps in we aren't. Night and day. Too many recent examples to site. Some on here will no doubt recoil.
We were so naive at the back, set up to fail against the best team in the world. It's why we defended so so deep. Massive wake up for all.

Brewster having another disappointing game, Billy Sharp showing him how it's done with his movement and putting away a pen. Mawson sent off for handball to deny a goal.

Is how I felt after the first 5 mins where we took it to them ish.
Disappointed is the overwhelming feeling. Kinell, even.
Yeah, best team in the world etc but we gave them way too much space and sat way too deeply Cooper-esque.
We played far too much to the character of our manager. Cautious, steady-Eddie, humble.
They played to the character of their manager. Slam, dunk.
Watch out Sheffield Weds - our clever manager lives and learns.........
Bravo. As is really is.
Hopefully,the kids will have learned much from the experience,mainly not to fark about and to understand how much quicker in thought they have to be in the Prem.

Bennett is not 100% fit, and 8 days rest between Norwich and Sheff Weds will do him and us the power of good, far better than playing in a mid week FA Cup tie.

But it did work for a quite a while until that wierd goal that completely bypassed everybody in the Penalty area. The second half was a comedy of errors for the first 15 minutes.

Pity that we self-destructed after HT, but I felt that Citeh always had a fair bit in the tank. Overall we weren't disgraced and this will have been a learning experience. The game does show the step up in quality we'll face if we go up though.
Not really. We would not go up and expect to compete that well with the top 4. Survival by beating the lower half teams would be the goal in the first year.

It is odd that I thought Lowe was quite quick until tonight, he couldn't beat anybody. Either he was having an off night or he might not be quick enough for the Prem.

Jesus. Now the Crusades. Get over the fact some see things as the average fan does not punters on a fan forum looking to impress fellow fans.
Woodman again,did not excercise any control although he did come out to collect a ball at a player's feet ,which he hasn't done before.
Seems some cannot tolerate any criticism or even comments they don't agree with.
'Get over the fact some see things as the average fan does not punters on a fan forum looking to impress fellow fans.'
Nail on the head. Impress fellow fans. Wtf is the point in that ?
Fans should have courage in their OWN convictions instead of toeing some namby-pamby forum party line.
This is the key differentiator of this forum over other hapless challengers where happy clappers clap to their hearts' content. All happy back slappers agreeing with one another.
Seems some can't tolerate grown up fans' viewpoints.

Let’s debate Yan Dhanda playing Welsh Division 1 for Ammanford then after a game where he played against one of the best teams in Europe.
Entitled to your opinion but don’t try and mug people off for criticising in a manner which is a lot more constructive than saying one of our players should sign for Ammanford Town. Pot. Kettle. Black

I don't try and mug people off. That's a mugs game.
My point was extreme to highlight the extreme irrational selection.
Mind you he would learn a feck lot more playing alongside Leon and supporting LT10, where he could make a case for himself. At he moment, there is no case. Dont' you think ?
