Hi guys - just buying train tickets from the Reading area - I know that this will have been discussed but cannot see the answer

Which is the best station to head for given for CITY fans - we will be drinking elsewhere so just need the one that is nearest entrance E - big thanks to anyone that can help

Wembley Park I believe? One that is on Wembley way that leads to the ground.

We’re going to Wembley stadium station. It’s arsenal end but never trouble if you’re just walking round. We have to walk up to Wembley to go to the torch and back down for the game lol

Really hope we don't fuck this up. Can't stand losing to this lot.

Sorry about that mate.

Mate, you’re not at fault, it’s Ashley’s inability to share themself that’s the problem!

It surely can' t be the same bloke to whom Eric Morecambe once famously said " You don' t mind if i call you Cliff do you Richard "!?

Just about to set off have a great day blues !

Right now, I wouldn’t mind seeing all involved being driven off a cliff in Morecambe... that’s close enough. ;-)

Jokes aside, although I haven’t got much sleep thinking about the match, I am still strangely confident we are going to win today.

However he talks to them pre match, he is doing just fine

I disagree. He doesn't talk to them prematch. They have a team meeting in the morning and he doesn't go into the dressing room before the game.

We often start quite slow from the first whistle and I would prefer he did a five minute talk pre-game as we always seem to charge out of the blocks following his half time team talk.

Go into paddington, 2 stops to Marylebone then use the sports bar and grill. Always plenty of city fans in. You can the get the overground to Wembley.

Great - just bought tickets to Paddington - Marylebone - Wembley Stadium - so will do exactly that

Thanks

I am a nervous wreck especially after that loss against Wigan. We have got to win this!!

Good luck blues, and a very safe journey to those going

I know, that loss has put extra nerves/pressure on this game. Just a PL title would be a bit shit after the position we got ourselves in to not so long ago. This squad is too good for just the PL title, they will be like hungry lions today! Come on you blues!

 

[gingerturnedblue]

Come on city.

I think that loss may be a small blessing in disguise. Wakes the players up and reduces the load for our CL push.

If anything, I think the Wigan loss will help us today.

You could see from the way the players acted at the end of the Wigan game that the defeat hurt them. They will not want that feeling twice in a week.

Me too.
Several team members just seem to hate losing and it up's their game. I'm sure they'll all be well up for it today and i expect The Prince to light up wemberlee.

City usually stay in the Landmark Hotel too. Their coach departs from outside the pub so you can cheer them off if that floats your boat!

Completely agree with you both.

I think David, Kevin, Kun, and Kyle (probably him more than anyone) will especially be well up for this, even beyond it being a chance for more silverware. If John plays he will be absolutely desperate to get his first winner’s medal.

As I said, I am strangely confident about this.
