Can I ask a favour (save me googling it) what was the starting line up for Man City vs Real Madrid 2nd leg and if possible the state of fitness of those players. I'd love to actually stuff United 7:0 on Saturday for just so many reasons and I think we could with that same team.

That won’t happen, we go 3-0 up and the game is won then Haaland will be subbed off.

If we didn’t have the Champions League Final a week ahead, I think City would really go for this, but part of me thinks they won’t want to spend too much energy. Frankly if the Cup Final was against anyone else, I wouldn’t be bothered, as long as we beat Inter

Not sure if your fishing but just in case you're not theres a chance of an historical treble on the line so I doubt very much we'll be taking the foot off the gas. Weird that you wouldn't be bothered about not winning a trophy but hey each to their own.

This ^

Full fucking bore for me, strongest team please Pep.
 
Question: do you think this is the most important Manchester derby in history?

The chance of winning the treble... Is this comparable to any other previous derby?

How do you think they feel about this? I mean, for us, this derby means a lot of things apart from the derby itself, but... What will be their point of view? Will they be scared of losing the "only-treble-winners-in-England" status?

If you are wondering, yes, I can't sleep due to overthinking...

I would want Kyle Walker in the starting eleven to negate Rashfords pace on the counter, and Manures attempt of the long ball over the top on the counter.
For me that’s all they have offensively. Cover that with Walker and then it will be about patiently breaking Manure down and keeping away from Casemiro‘s dirty tackling.
I predict a 2-0 win for our boys.

They’ve got seven days to recover
 
It wasn't long ago in a semi at Wembley that an opposition player took out our key midfielder, Silva, early doors and we lost. Just hope we don't suffer the loss of KdB early doors by the same method. I wouldn't put it past these rag barstewards, Casimiro is well capable of this.

We will still smash them.

You're being a tad spoilt identifying which cup you'd prefer. I remember clearly late 70s to beating Stoke when I preferred league points to a 4th round defeat in tge Cup to a lowly league 3 side
 
Hope we pulverise these scum shithouse cunts, time to put giddy red fred raggedy firmly back in his corner CMON CITEH!!!
 
Think Pep asked as many of the squad as possible to let their hair down at Coldplay last night, to keep relaxed and not tense up ahead of the finals. Grealish, Alvarez, Haaland, KDB, Bernardo, Gundogan, Mahrez all spotted there. Plus Ake and Akanji’s wives, so presumably they were there too.

I couldn’t think of a worse excuse for a letting your hair down session lol
 
This is going to be the biggest match emotionally for me since 2011/12. Everything from then to now has paled in to insignificance. I don’t think my nerves would survive a Gillingham or QPR type game and the thought of losing on penalties after a late comeback by them doesn’t bear thinking about.
