Week 19 Processing...

Tevez steps up to loud boos but slams it past the immaculate Joe Hart who has had a sublime game, to make it 2-1 to City.

Barry walks forward coolly...

McGregor cant reach it and its 3-1 to Man City.

Rodallega makes it 3-2 to Man City.

Adam Johnson pulled City level in normal time but how will he cope with the added pressure of the penalties...

its there and City win it on penalties, always a cruel way to lose a game but i'm sure Charlton will be back bigger and better next year.

So another final for Man City in their long line of finals and what a corker it promises to be as they take on Birmingham City again in a repeat of a once classic matchup from the days when Henrik Olsen was in charge of Birmingham.

I make that 4-2, but I still had 2 pens left?

Someone else must have missed I guess.


Never mind, grand effort from my players, can't be too upset.

All the best to Geoff and City in the final.

Final lineups are

Lille vs Nantes

Boca vs River Plate

Man City vs Birmingham City

Schalke vs Bayern Munich

AC Milan vs Inter Milan

Barcelona vs Real Madrid

so some classic matchups there after AC beat Cagliari on pens.

Don't know if I can cope with my league match now. Nerves shot.

Small matter of a vital league game against Leicester to sit through now.







Fantastic entertainment though Paul, thanks for doing that with the cup games.

oh yeah sorry my post for the Samir Nasri miss didnt come out, mustve pressed the wrong key or something, apologies for that, thats the first time ive used the cup vidiprinter and the results come a bit quick sometimes, but will look at that for next time. final penalty score was 5-3 to City.

No probs, thought that was the case.

His last kick for the club too!

the league games will kickoff at 1030 hours

Thats my 3rd final in 4 years, very happy with the boys!

Now it's the important one - at least a point required at Roma. Will make the Arlanda Express a bit more interesting.

Looks like Aguero and Hernandez terrorise me again - quite a partnership developing there.

well played Rich - good luck in the final, should be a right ding donger.

more firepower required.

whistles have blown and the league matches are underway...

only 3 minutes on the clock and there has already been a goal in the huge game in Rome where Inter are the visitors, so lets cross to James Mason to get the details...

Frank Ribery has given Inter the early advantage in this game with a fine shot to make it

Roma 0 Inter 1

7 minutes on the clock and im hearing that the prolific Neymar has put Nantes in front at home to Monaco and that Antonio Cassano has put Schalke in front against Dortmund in the rain, so its already

Schalke 1 Dortmund 0

big games come thick and fast at this time of the season for the better sides and Man City have certainly been one of the better sides over the years, but a mid season crisis has curtailed their league campaign but this week's game is important nonetheless cos Plymouth are the visitors, arch rivals over many years whilst Dan Furneaux was in charge, now rerisen under their latest boss Ben Wilson and doing just as well, City boss Geoff Fields will be eager to see his side continue their improved form and try to dent Plymouth's march towards the title.

But it hasnt started well and ex-city player Robinho has grabbed the opening goal on 8 minutes and its now

Man City 0 Plymouth 1

better news for City fans is that the boss has signed a contract extension until the end of next season, having turned down the chance to manage Benfica.

Fernando LLorente has put Barcelona in front and after 9 minutes its now

Barcelona 1 Valencia 0

but the third placed team are no pushovers and I doubt that game is over yet.

Gremio's Marcel Ortolan has scored to give his side an early lead over Santos.

Pleased Geoff is staying on, especially in England.

Stuart Hall is watching the crucial game at Charlton this week where Leicester are the visitors, Stuart...

One man in particular has continually shown his world class qualities this season for Charlton and he has continued on in that vein today having given his side the early lead here, and we all know who i'm talking about dont we...

it is of course, Carlos Tevez, and after 11 minutes its now

Charlton 1 Leicester 0
