Milner’s Potter mision
Date published: 25 January 2013
James Milner is out to repeat his FA Cup winning experience — and that means denying Stoke revenge for their 2011 Wembley beating.
Manchester City head to the Potteries tomorrow lunchtime with memories fresh of their victory over Tony Pulis’ men two seasons ago, ending the Blues’ 35–year wait for a trophy.
Now, with their Champions League quest at an end and not even the Europa League as a consolation prize, City can go all out for cup glory on the domestic front.
“I’m sure Stoke would like to get one over us for the 2011 final,” Milner told www.mcfc.co.uk.
“But we’ll be doing our best to give our supporters another day out at Wembley, that’s for certain.”
But while that FA Cup final win, sealed with a single Yaya Toure goal, is an indication of City superiority over Stoke, the Blues have not won in the Potteries since 1999.
