@amgowl: First time Garry Monk will see this place bounce.... can’t wait #swfc let’s show the current champions what Hillsboro is all about
@dan_N_smith: There’s nobody better than Steven Fletcher, not even Kun Agüero.
@mja_owl: Well if Fletcher is fit come March we can prove the chant is correct.

@garetho75951588: It's only man city and we at home...what could possibly go wrong?
@SebWalker5: Might as well put us in the hat for the 6th round now
@Turner_GEO: Midweek at a packed out hillsborough...I honestly fancy us against city

@owl4life1867: Gutted for City. Genuinely thought they had a shot at the #facup this year.
@joe72_: Our support are mad...already people moaning about part-timers wanting to come to the City match. No regular who wants to go will miss out...it’ll be awful to have a decent crowd won’t it?
@GeoffSWFC: A reminder that a very strong City side managed by Pep lost to league one Wigan a couple of years ago. Pack the stadium and give it a right go
