Wide open. The way city are playing, they arent streets ahead of the others.

Indeed, city are a shadow of their former selves and Bournemouth could do a job on them let alone some of the other clubs still in the draw.

All the big teams are now out, Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton, Newcastle and dare I say it Man Utd...

Will city go all out for it now that everything else is slipping away, or would recent success have made them indifferent to it? Would it be enough to raise the blood pressure of a fan base that has known such recent good times? I can't see it exciting that many of them even as a consolation prize.

It'd be nice to see Palace, Forest or Villa win it. But it'll probably be City again.....

[AustinPowers]

Forest to beat City  on penalties.

[lurganblue]

I actually wanted to avoid Palace as they have done Villa a couple of times this year already.  That's a 50/50 game in my opinion.

Crystal Palace 3 Aston Villa 0.  Other semi final on tomorrow at 4:30pm

[Captain Obvious]

Soulless City 1-0 ahead.

Pep Guardiola on having 5,000 tickets unsold for the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley:

"One day maybe they will play the FA Cup in the North - they will come to Old Trafford, the Etihad, Anfield, or Goodison Park. Maybe THEY come HERE.

Half time Man City 1 Nottingham Forest 0.    City 2-0 winners.
