    Nice to see the cuddly spanners holding their babies the right way up. I was a bit disappointed that the pink Lions didn't get a look in, I guess the CEO forgot about them in his pre-match planning. Still we did see a few ladies looking a bit wasted, plus the nice old nan in the pink hat.
    I didn't hear the 'Up the arse' tune. Did they actually behave themselves for once?

    Come on MillwallFan, admit it. You were singing Que será, será weren't you. It's okay, trust us, we will not gloat.

    I wouldnt be surprised if the only events that top the attendance from the weekend are the following:

    Championship Play-Off Final | League One Play-Off Final (depending on who gets there)

    Certainly dont think the FA Cup Final will be over that 80k mark

    If you're a City fan and a bit cash strapped, you're having to make the choice between a FA Cup Semi in London against Brighton with all the other costs, against a Champions League home 1/4 final, and I would honestly pick the Champions League game, and then shell out for the Final if we make it, as well as selling a kidney to go to Madrid from the CL Final.

    Its because of the Champions League interest that makes me think the FA Cup will struggle to sell out this year

    Man City v Man Utd would have been the tie to sell out, as it is its likely to be Man City v Brighton or Watford; makes you wonder if City fans will bother to travel down for what'll they'll no doubt think as a guaranteed win  Especially if they've a Champions League Final to think about as well

    Hopefully Brighton or Watford v Wolves will be a sell out because their fans will realise its the one chance of winning something

    Also add that City have already been to Wembley this season the League Cup final, and this would be the 6th trip in a cup since 2014, only so much money to spend on tickets.

    Your team get to both the FA Cup and Champions League final, you can only afford 1 ticket or maybe only get time off work for 1
    Your team have also won the FA Cup recently but never been to a CL final.
    What do you choose? Could say the same for quarters and semis

    life must be very hard being a city fan - met a couple on holiday in mexico last year and they hate some parts of the money side of things - the stadium being full of tourists, selfie sticks etc.

    Already been to Wembley 3 times.

    Community shield, away to Spurs, league cup final.

    I know they'll get stick for having 'shit' support, but to be honest it's no real surprise if a city fan decides not to go.

    The large crowd had a lot to do with them getting promoted to 1st Division if they won.

    Yeah of course , they have always had decent support and they got relegated to the third tier the season we won the play offs and averaged over 28k in the third tier

    No matter how many times I see them, those FA Cup adverts “don’t mug off the cup” make me chuckle every time. I find myself often rewinding several times to watch them again.

    Surprised with VAR that wasnt given, Walker clearly moved his head forward(which by the laws of the game any movement forward with the head should be a red)

    VAR of the future... Big team players will still get away with things because officials wont have the balls to act

    4 fans being spoken to in City scalves at HT(From Sterlings old school)

    2 United fans
    1 Arsenal
    1 Chelsea

    Why on earth are they wearing City scalves

    Commentators talking about Brighton like they are a non league side. It’s really weird.
