Shocking goalkeeping by Hart.
Hart has been poor all season, although anyone would lack confidence behind our defence, will not be surprised if Pep buys a new goalkeeper in the summer.
To be fair.... a great save on the penalty, that was never a penalty!
Joe seems to have lost the ability to catch the ball and chooses to punch the ball clear. Unfortunately never far from danger!

I'm not a big fan of Joe Hart, I definitely think he is a work in progress.

He has the potential to be one of the world's best keepers.

He saves with is feet and punches too much, plus his distribution is poor.

I think in a couple of years he will be a lot better, and still be young, so we should stick with him, but Pep might have other ideas.

My favourite GK was Harry Dowd, an ex plumber.

At a team talk Malcolm Allison famously said:-

"Right Harry, on Saturday we are playing Arsenal...and they play in red and white".....

I was at the City v Wigan F.A. cup final and i honestly think Pantilimon would have caught that ball from the corner that gave Wigan the winning goal and the end result could've been different. But... hey, I think Joe still has a great future with us. By the way... without giving my age away, i was also at the 1969 F.A. cup final where i'm fairly sure Harry was between the sticks. Sh#t.... am i that f*ckin old! CTID. thumbup

I was at the City vs Wigan final. I had such a good time before the match as the tickets were a special birthday gift from my Wife.
Worst present ever frown

I'm a Joe Hart fan, generally. But I was also at Wembley vs Wigan and I'd agree with the above, their winning header could have been saved.
I think he needs to stick with safety first, sometimes it looks as if he tries to make spectacular saves for the camera.

Thought i'd just pop in & wish you the best of luck tonight in wiping that abhorrent grin off of Zlatan's boat tonight.

Surely over now. Congratulations.

Quietly glad that sack of st Di Maria is being dumped out at the hands of his favourite city on Earth.

I can't stand that Zlatan tbh. Very happy to see him dumped out.

Well done - salvaging something from a really crap season.

De Bruyne is an absolute weapon. Brilliant player, delivers something, a goal or an assist virtually every game. £52m looks a snip.

Well done on getting through, if you can avoid Barca, I think you'd have a chance against both Real and Bayern. City v Bayern would be a very interesting game.

With De Bruyne, Silva and Sergio up front we really have a potent strike force.. The defence didn't look to bad last night either. Hopefully Kompany will be back for the semi final?
I still think it's unlikely but I didn't think Leicester would be where they are now, so what do I know?
