Forest pile blues on sorry City

IT IS SAFE to assume that Mark Hughes’s love affair with the FA Cup is over.

A competition which has brought so much joy to the Welshman over the years left the beleaguered Manchester City manager seething and promising new signings.

Embarrassing. Humiliating. Mortifying. City’s exit from the FA Cup at the hands of Championship strugglers Nottingham Forest on Saturday was all of those things, and much more.
