[Albion] Man City v Burton semi final

How soon is now?
They’re using VAR, but I thought it was only being used at premier league grounds due to the camera infrastructure. That’s all fine for this game, but what about the return leg?
Admittedly it’s not relevant to the outcome, but if it couldn’t be used in both legs then really it shouldn’t be used for either..

I do hope the 10th goal is/was celebrated like Mick Channon on speed.

The same score as Liverpool 9 (NINE) Crystal Palace 0 in a Barclays League First Division match in September 1989.

Imagine that. You'd never be able to show your face in public again as a supporter. :lolol:

Well the excitement for the 2nd leg will have many people enthralled, especially the neutrals.

Burton annoyed Citeh by wearing their yellow home kit. Apparently they had been asked not to because it clashed with their stewards' outfits. That'll teach them.

Clever by City, tie over and they can play their full U23 side in the second leg and still be certain of reaching the final.

How demoralising must that be for Burton’s players and fans? Getting beaten 9-0 by one of the best sides in the world, then realising you have to play them again in a couple of weeks.

Motivation’s going to be a serious issue in the second leg - I can see a repeat (or worse) if City take it seriously. Incidentally, does anyone know what the record aggregate margin of victory in English football actually is? It could well be in jeapordy.
