Armstrong is relentless and his energy has got us into this game. We need to do better in final third. Can't beat all these bodies.

got to do better there. Great opportunity, but Eli and others just not doing enough. Good chance for Adams too. Better from us.

might need bypass the midfield now and then and ping it straight up to the strikers. Although when we have done that it hasn't stuck.

Wish Stephens had got as tight to Watkins as their midfield are getting to us. Struggling to build from the back.

and Villa seem to be set up well against us.

Broja just waltzed past the full back there, just couldn't pick anyone out.

how is that a foul. Fuck off ref.

He turned. Stephens didn't. Not nearly sharp enough. For me, Stephens has looked sluggish this season compared to previous. He looks like he has lost half a yard of pace.

When Stephens' ability to get tight, turn quickly and prevent the chance is actually tested, he fails the test. Salisu is a major loss. Not sure why KWP hasn't started too. Our best form is with him in the side ahead of Livramento. Is he injured?

best we can hope for is wining it in normal time. City do lose games now and then. Not often I grant you, but it is possible. Palace have beaten them a couple of times, generally with a backs against the wall kind of display, but with exceptional stuff on the break and high quality strikes. Realistically the odds are against, no doubt about it, but no point thinking like that. We can and will win. Enjoy the ride.

Hmm. That wasn't my first reaction. I really don't think Pep fears anyone. Only Liverpool and Chelsea (and sometimes Spurs) have got the better of them in recent times. I'd of thought if they were draw against either of them he'd still see it as a great opportunity to show his side is the best. We've done well against them, but they could easily have won both games.

I think we will win. I think we will win the whole damn thing.

agreed. Beat them and get a nice winnable game in the final...

ballbags. Someone tell me the game is in the middle of a CL tie

not in the first 20 minutes. They cut us to ribbons and should really have scored twice. We got better, the goal settled us down and placed less onus on us to crate a chance. I think West Ham got progressively worse, although they did seem to dominate possession - they didn't do much with it. Once we went ahead, it felt pretty comfortable. it was one of those games where things could easily have been different, but we got the first goal, we got the pen and we killed the game off. I am not sure I was all that impressed by our display, but for a makeshift side we did well. We will play much better and lose.

Tell me they played `The Lovecats - The Cure'?

maybe Moyes should have made 9 changes?

yes please. We could do with City vs Liverpool too.

joyous. Can not wait for the draw. We are going to win this fucking cup this year.

me to.

someone shut Keown up now.

what a goal. Do not ever pass it son.

Armstrong might not be full of confidence, but he's put a shift in.
