Home first*if* we get to the semi final are we home or away first?
Spurs choke when they get anywhere near a trophy.
I wouldnt say that they're at chokling stage yet. Playing City, they're the underdogs, no great epectations or pressure on them. Its the sort of situation they should relish.
Hopefully we will have learned from the disastrous first half against Liverpool last year and will not let them gain any momentum.

Spurs aren't Liverpool of last year. Last year Liverpool created chaos and tried to , with success against us, profit from it. Spurs aren't like that so we just need to be better than them.I wouldnt say that they're at chokling stage yet. Playing City, they're the underdogs, no great epectations or pressure on them.

Last time I saw Spurs play was against Arsenal and they should have lost. They were terrible when we played them at Wembley, I think we will have too much for them over two legs. They look like they are going backwards at the moment.

Anybody know when they will decide if the first leg will be at Wembley or the new stadium?
But they do have players who on their day can cause us a lot of problems if we don’t turn up like that first half against liverpool last season.Spurs aren't Liverpool of last year.

They actual seem to prefer us to Liverpool. If we don't win it, I wouldn't mind Spurs winning it just to annoy the old guard.

The good thing is that Spurs and Man U are both in exactly the same position re CL fixtures accept they are both facing stronger CL teams :-) They will also both be stressing out about getting in the Top 4... plus they both have inferior squads.Leaves us with a hell of a run of fixtures doesn't it
Possible FA Cup semi
Spurs CL
Palace PL

Stretford PL

Palace away the key game for me. Liverpool play Chelsea the same weekend. All going well that could be a huge step towards the title...

Out of all our remaining fixtures I've always had my eye on that one as being crucial in our quest towards the title.Palace away the key game for me. Liverpool play Chelsea the same weekend. All going well that could be a huge step towards the title...
The way it's panned out it'll be even more important now though, because depending on how we get on in the first leg it will effect how we approach the game that weekend.
Anybody know when they will decide if the first leg will be at Wembley or the new stadium?
Its a curious one this. Their final test event to obtain a safety certificate for the new stadium is on 30th March. They surely can't be waiting until then to decide on where the CL game will be played, can they? City's website originally stated that the game would likely be played at the new stadium but now seems to be silent on the subject.
So what would be the deadline for making a decision and for them to still be able to ticket the match? And what needs to happen to allow them to make a decision, given that they're unlikely to have played their test events?
Just looked at one of the Spurs' fans forums and their fans seem to be taking it as read that the game will be played at the new stadium

This is what is annoying, Neither Spurs nor Uefa have said what will happen. It is not hard for Uefa to make an official statement saying as long as they pass the Safety Cert. the match will definitely go ahead at the new ground but they haven't. Also City have been mislead previously and ended up paying on a crap pitch at Wembley. What happens if Spurs are lying, sorry wrong again and it can't go ahead ?
As usual the (away) fans are left in the dark

Wonder where Spurs will be playing there home games by then? Anywhere they want by the looks of it? Cheating twats.
Apparently uefa delegate the decision to the home governing bodies. So If the fa and pl are happy to play games at the new stadium uefa wouldnt overrule themThis is what is annoying, Neither Spurs nor Uefa have said what will happen.

Let's hope we get past a tough Spurs first. But I don't expect to see Juventuss if we do. I expect to see Ajax.
I cannot see Ajax doing Juve. People are forgetting how poor Real are this season. Ajax are not top of their own league. They played in a group with Bayern and Bayern came out on top. Against a side like Juve (who have now started resting Ronaldo for CL games) they will get beaten.
Barca v Liverpool and City v Juve should be the semi finals. But yes, can't expect to beat Spurs. It will be tough. Tge atmosphere we can create at home to drive the team on should hopefully see us through. Hoping the Spurs game is at Wembley or they have some teething issues at their home ground. With that single tier end it will be a tough place to play.
