Micah: We want revenge on Roo
Posted Tuesday, March 15, 2011 by thesun.co.uk
MICAH RICHARDS is out for FA Cup revenge on Wayne Rooney.
The Manchester City defender, who hit the winner against Reading, cannot wait to face United in a Wembley semi next month.
He is still smarting from Roo's amazing Premier League clincher last month and said: "We're looking to gain revenge for Wayne Rooney's overhead kick.
"It's going to be a great game and we'll all be looking forward to it.
"We didn't play well and we struggled to break them down.
"But we showed great resilience to get through and that's all that matters."
Fellow City defender Vincent Kompany admitted City are buzzing after reaching the last four for the first time since 1981.
And the Belgian star, 24, said: "I'll let you guess how much it means - and how much the next opponents mean to us.
"We're happy to play them - there is no easy way to get to the final.
"We're looking forward to it and there will be no complaints from us."
United defender Rio Ferdinand, who missed the 2-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday through injury, tweeted: "Let's av iiit with 'em."
Stoke play Bolton in the other semi-final - also at Wembley - after beating West Ham 2-1 yesterday with goals from Robert Huth and Danny Higginbotham.
Former Sunderland defender Higginbotham said: "Stoke is a great club and it's come on leaps and bounds in the last few years."
