What They're Saying
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini (via BBC): "For the fans in New York, to see Frank play is an amazing thing. I hope that he will be there next year, but I think that in this moment the best decision for him, for the club, for New York is to stay here with us. He is a very important player for us. That's why we brought him here at the beginning of the season."
Sheffield Wednesday manager Stuart Gray (via Manchester Evening News): "It is the cup and there is always a shock. I love the FA Cup and the pleasing thing is we will have another good following. The support we got at Wigan was fantastic from the first minute to the 95th, and the lads are very fortunate to play in front of those fans. A tie at Manchester City is something to look forward to. We go there full of confidence after back-to-back victories. We are looking forward to it and I am hoping to do better than we did last time."
