There you go.

Ferdinand has appealed the striking charge against Hull so he can play tonight. This means he will now probably get a 4 game ban instead of 3. What could you offer in defence "Fagan grabbed my test.....?

[Sparkles]

Magnificent game of football. City you will just have to wait a little longer. For those who have been rubbishing Scholes and Giggs well the old men played the 90 plus minutes and were ,I thought ,inspirational. Did Scholes make a bad pass ? well maybe only a 99% success rate tonight.

[bkkjames]

There you go.

[nev]

Great game and scholesy was fantastic tonight.....deserved win in the end

Edit....Thought the Bellamy incident was a bit out of order.....why waste a bottle of beer on him?

[LeungKen]

Very happy with the win but disgusted by the Bellamy incident.....

Agree Ken, hope they charge the fools that did that with assault or similar. No place for that in football.

Terrible first half for us. Playing one up front looked to be failing miserably, as it often does. Second half was like a whole new team though. Took control of the possession and then, once we started playing in the final third, their frailties at the back became exposed.

Credit to them, i don't think there's a more dangerous team in the Premier League for hitting on the counter right now. So much pace, trickery and strength in Bellamy and Tevez. That said, couldn't believe Tevez's goal - seemed to owe something to good fortune the way he stuck his leg out - still, i'm sure City fans won't agree.

Talking of giving credit, another half decent performance from Nani. Although his corners were extremely frustrating!

Knobs who threw stuff in the crowd should be banned for life.

All in all, two great games. Will be lucky if the final has half the excitement.

What happened with Bellamy then ??

No place for this in football. Similar to the incident the week before when Evra was hit by a lighter.This time it was a coin no doubt the FA will awake from their slumber and do something about it with luck before the end of the season

What happened with Bellamy then ??

An appalling incident but an incredible photograph. Maybe they can DNA the bottle.

Imagine the force of that if it was thrown from high up, could have killed him.

[mrbojangles]

Hungover and gutted but well done. You deserved the win last night.

Sorry about the hang Mr BJ. I felt we had more chances in the first leg.

Mr BJ had nothing to do with it mate, it was the best player on CITY who by coincidence happened to be a Red Devil in days gone bye.

To close off this thread this seems appropriate.

[pattayamike]

Does anyone remember the Derby game a few years back when coins were thrown at Beckham? Instead of falling down as if he were shot he picked them up and pocketed them! Class!

[mrbojangles]

Yes it was class and I'm not that sure any actually hit him but last night was a bottle as well.

As a footnote...

A man was charged on Thursday with throwing a bottle at Bellamy. Adam Teese, 26, of Heaton Chapel, Greater Manchester, is accused of 'throwing a missile on to the pitch' during the Carling Cup semi-final at Old Trafford, police said. He was one of 11 fans arrested on the night. It took the total number of arrests to 40 over the two legs, although there was less trouble than Greater Manchester Police had expected

Seems as the club took all precautions for this match,with extra security, they will avoid a fine from the FA for not having adequate security in place. Obviously impossible to stop coins and lighters being taken in .

[bkkjames]

No need to start a new topic to ask the question..

Final on TV? What Channel? Cheers
