Fast forward to May and we have won the FA Cup,got to the semis of CL and just missed 4th to united.
Cant even start to think what a shit summer all Blues will have in that scenario.

If we get a fixture congestion I believe that is a very real possibility.

Our reserves should be good enough.

The Rags are gonna win the Europa Cup, honestly can't see a team still in there who will stop them

That'll potentially free up an extra place to the CL by league position
 
so if we won the champs league and finish top 4 and rags win europa and finish top 4 do the top 6 prem teams get into next season champs league-cant be right

Only 5. If both us and United don't make top 4, whoever is 4th say Arsenal, will get chucked for us and United.










I think :-)
 
Let's hope leicester or Arsenal don't win champions league as that will surely put cat among pigeons as I think utd will win the europa league
 
Sometimes winning a trophy, any trophy, isnt the be all and end all. Given a choice between winning the FA Cup and coming up just short in a goal fest CL final I would take the latter. I think it would be a more significant achievement in terms of the development of the club.

Ultimately winning trophies is what counts. Everyone wants to look back and count the trophies. And winning the FA Cup in 10/11 was a massive achievement for City. But I dont really buy into the "a trophy is a trophy" thinking. If we'd beaten Wigan in 12/13 would it really had that much positive impact on the club? Beating Liverpool last year was very enjoyable but didnt really have much impact on how I viewed the season.

If the second game against Monaco is half as dramatic as the first (and we win the tie), in years to come this Monaco tie will be looked back on as a major milestone in City's progress. Along with beating United in the FA Cup semi final and Aguero's goal. A couple more swashbuckling displays will have a massive impact on the profile of the club, irrespective of whether we the CL this season. Much more so than an FA Cup win.

Great post.I would have done anything for a trophy win,it took me from when I left school to my 50th birthday to see one.

But the club has moved on,we must stay top 4 and do the best we can in CL,nothing else matters.

I dont agree with it,would prefer the FA Cup to be the No 1 trophy as it was but the greed at the top of football has seen that off.TT got sacked last year for winning it which says it all really.

That is correct, there are only a maximum of 5 places available for any country. Winners of CL and El are guaranteed places. The 4th placed team then drops into the El. CL winners go straight into group stage in pot 1 and EL going into qualifying round

I thought Seville went straight into Group stage the season we played them?
 
Tight at the back.....creative in the middle.....killer up front.....we win.

Btw.....udders expect to sell the last of their tiks today. They are as up for this as we were for the game at theirs. Should be a sell out at our prices.

Missionary work is still in its early stages in udders.

The Luddites fought against modernisation & progress in udders. If you've been in the Colne valley towns recently ....Marsden,Slowit,Milnesbridge....you'd have to conclude that the Ludds were completely successful.

They are absolute shitholes full of backward arse holes. Women smoking pipes,walking goats on rope leads.

100 years behind the times. Grim !!

Yes, because the CL holders spot wasn't required as Barca qualified for the group stage by league position, otherwise Barca would have used the holders spot and Sevilla would have gone into the play-off round.
