Good! Hope they throw the bloody book at him, and ban him from all stadiums

Interesting that.. and with regards to the statistics for racist/indecent chanting it doesn't come as any surprise given what I have heard at various away games over the years. I wonder who the media will target next on their moral crusade.

And l will second that.

So, it is the tie of the round today, well in some peoples eyes anyway.
City V United FA Cup 3rd Round K/O 1pm

After losing their last two games, I cannot see United doing much today either, I fear another defeat is on the cards, I hope I am wrong, but I am predicting a 3 - 0 win for City

I think it'll be a good game, MC once again looking at holding on to their FA Cup and MU looking at revenge for last year..

[sherer]

think the game all depends on what team each club field.

With City in a position to finally win the league for the first time since 68? they might view the cup as not a priority and field a weaker side, with both Toure's missing already.

United might still feel they can win the league and field a weaker side too, although I could argue we don't have much of a strong side to start with

There is no need for it full stop. Banned from all grounds for life and heavily fined should do it.

Yes l am looking forward to todays big match and l think Man City will sneak it by the odd goal but it will be interesting to see the starting line ups especially MU's given Rooney's apparent falling out with SAF.

I hope you're wrong too but going on recent performances I say we'll be lucky if they only score 3. If we can lose 3-nil to Newcastle I predict a bloodbath today.

Had City been playing anyone else today I'd have agreed but this is United. Yes they has the result at OT earlier but they won't be happy with that. They'll want to take our Premiership AND dump us out of the FA Cup. They want to humiliate United for the past 40 years. They don't need Rooney, why else would they be (rumoured to be) interested in him?

Paul Scholes is back at United and will be a sub today.

After Tevez I think they'll avoid any MU players

BTW I predict a win for United.
