I’d give him a clue that it doesn’t end well for us. Hope he gets better soon

I had a kidney taken out on Thursday. Donated to my son. Against everybody’s wishes I went tonight. I had to be there. Now I feel like I’ve been kicked in the guts

And my son is sat in bed in the childrens hospital in tears trying to come to terms with what he just watched

I’ve promised him we will now smash the domestic treble and he’s definitely gonna be there to see us lift the FA Cup

Edit: and you mate, hope you’re ok as well.

I’ve sent this:

“Hi Pop, I love and adore you but you’re recovering from a major operation and have a stress ulcer. I’ve spent an hour going backwards and forwards on this but I can’t in good conscience let you watch that game. We lose the tie and go out of the cup on away goals having finished 4-3 on the night.

The reason I have to tell you is because we think we score a 94th winner but it gets ruled out by VAR a minute later after everyone has jumped around celebrating. It’s probably the cruelest thing I’ve experienced as a City fan (relegations included) and I was nearly in tears myself. The thought of you going through that same range of emotions physically hurts my heart and makes me feel sick. I hope you can forgive me for ruining the game but I’d rather tell you and ruin it for you via text than let you go through that same experience. The boys were brilliant and I’m so proud of them, we did everything and thought we’d gone through but we just didn’t quite manage it. Sorry again for trying to ruin it, I posted the situation on the Bluemoon forum and every single reply said I should tell you, as did Poddy.

I’m really not trying to be a kill joy or moddy coddle you, but if the roles were reversed, I would genuinely rather have been told than go through it in ‘real time’ on record and I say that honestly, it was a horribly cruel way to go out. I love you very much and I hope you’re still speaking to me. Xx”
 
Gundogan and Mendy, dear oh dear. If we’re to win on Saturday these two can’t play. Not having a go at them, would never boo them, would never go OTT but they aren’t good enough based on the players that are on the sidelines or formations we can move to.

Puts things in perspective.

Hope everyone involved is ok and fingers crossed city give you all sone happiness over the next few weeks.
 
Just back home and I’ve still not fully processed that maelstrom of a match. I’m hurting and don’t want to analyse where it all went wrong over the two legs or to apportion blame for the outcome - a quick browse through previous posts tells me others have been keen to do that - but I would say that I’m so proud of this sensational team and so proud of the fans tonight.

Now that I’ve had time to calm down a bit, I just want to say...

I am proud of our players, even Eric, who tried to work through a horrid night and will be absolutely destroyed right now. He deserves our support as, unlike some other clubs, we don’t turn on our players when they have a ‘mare.

They did everything to battle through the adversity, showed their class and determination, and if not for two marginal VAR calls, we would be through after probably one of the most entertaining Champions League matches in history.

Centurions, I salute you.

agreed, and our fans at the stadium were brilliant, Pep asked them to be loud and they didn't let him down.
 
I’m trying to see a big positive here

I think there’s a good chance that if we’d progressed we may have spread ourselves too thinly and ended up with neither of the PL or CL

Now, it’s liverpool that have that problem and they have to deal with it with a much weaker squad

I’m more confident than ever that we will now go on to win the domestic treble
 
Awful team selection/ performance in the first leg cost us. Additionally cannot afford to concede 3 goals at home and win in what is a corrupt competition. We need to dig deep for the remaining games and make sure we win every match. The league is ours then. I remember years ago when our season was over in the first week of January. We’re still on for a treble and if we pull that off it will of been a truly incredible season.
 
Laporte bottled the occasion and Ederson was poor. David Silva is declining at an alarming rate now, which is sad to see.

Ederson came and flapped at the first corner before the second one from the other side went in.

I thought the rest of the lads were bloody brilliant and very proud they got a deserved victory on the night.

Walker had another good game.
 
I'm obviously confused as to the handball rule?

It undoubtedly hit his arm. It's irrefutable. If you can score from an unintentional hand ball...then it's a goal. If you can't, it should have been ruled out.

What do our resident refs say?

You can’t according to the new rules UEFA implemented this season.

We’ve been had again.

Cheers. That's what I thought, but I was surprised to see so many blues saying it was the right call?

Fu#ked again then. Carry on

Thought they both played well today, especially gundogan.
 
The offside rule needs to be changed to favour the attacking team. IT used to be the benefit was given to the attacking team but obviously not now when a toe or a bootlace in front is considered offside. Clear daylight between last man and attacker should be offside.

Also somone earlier stated this is the last year of away goals? This too!
 
I don’t think I will sleep tonight after that.

I have been to some games over my life but fuck me what a tremendous game that was.

We are the architects of our own downfall at times, especially in this competition but it was a fantastic effort from both sets of players.

We had some players who I thought were Magnificent. De Bruyne, Bernardo and of course Sterling. For them Son made the difference.

On the flip side Laporte was horrendous, Ederson should have done better and I don’t think Kun made the right choices at times and his passing was poor. All three of our goals conceded and the one last week were all preventable and poor. Our goals were well worked.

For me the first game result was always going to be risky. We were way too negative. We showed tonight how bad they are defensively and we were too cautious last week. It cost us.

Still we won the game and if we cut out these stupid errors we will win Saturday.
