    What are your predictions for the game?

    My heart says a Wigan win but my head sees a 4 or 5 nil hammering by City. Pity really as it looks very likely that Wigan will be taking the drop. :(

    I hope city win, then we'd have been knocked out of both cups by the eventual winner

    I expect City to win though I'd prefer Wigan, and I expect the Fat Toby Jug Head Adrian Chiles to be banging on about Sir Alex Ferguson with Roy Keane instead of focussing on what used to be the best game of the domestic calendar. Maybe he should mention that it's Man Utd's decision not to enter the FA Cup in 1999-2000 when they were the holders that acted as the catalyst for the competition's decline.

    Same here. I can't imagine that's been done very often before. I'm sure now someone will search online and see it's been done dozens of times :D

    I want Wigan to win obviously. I just can't bear to watch Dave fcukin Whelan bleating on about how they're the best thing in the history of creation

    This would be a nice stat I suppose but I want Wigan really. I remember singing, "You're gonna win f*ck all, you're gonna f*ck all, f*ck all!" at the city game so I hope we were right :p

    Not only would we have been knocked out by both eventual winners, we'd also have been knocked out by the first team to beat Chelsea in the FA Cup in 90 minutes since their defeat at Oakwell.

    Will be cheering for the underdog as always, think Man City will win it if I'm honest but it won't be straight forward - City players will see this as just another game and underestimate the oppositions increase in desire under the arch*

    Swansea
    Man City

    Think it will be close and go 2-1 City.

    Hope I`m wrong though and Wigan win.
