I heard Shaw was carrying a back injury the other day (probably from all the burgers)... I wonder if Martial is a bluff and he ends up playing

It's very rare, if ever, that a player is definitely registered injured on the week of a game and they play. It will always be "doubtful" rather than out as they have to submit squads
 
Not had much time to look through this thread, but as far as I can tell through social media, that lot and their rancid media cheerleaders seem to be giving it a lot of mouth in the run-up to this game. Typical of them, I suppose, but it reminds me of Real ahead of the CL semi at our place a short while back.

I'm glad we do our talking on the pitch. Just hope we can produce a level of performance somewhere close to the one we managed a couple of weeks back.
 
If we don’t shaft utd and Inter from the position we were in a couple of weeks ago, the loss of momentum will go down as another Pep aberration.

Still a good od season? Yes. Underachievement given current standing, squad and resources? Yes, if we don’t win Champs League.

Losing to the rags would be hard to accept, albeit less momentous in a historical context. CL - best chance ever.

However my money is on the treble.

Kick off time 15:00 (BST).

Not much that needs to be said in the build up to this, just go and beat them.

Assuming we're at full strength:

---------------Ortega (cup keeper)
Walker---Stones---Dias---Akanji
-----------------Rodri
------De Bruyne----Gundogan
Bernardo-----Haaland---G

Main thing that concerns me with this game is that our record away from the Etihad against top 9 prem sides is pretty bad. Think we have beaten just arsenal and only Sevilla away in the champions league.

Finals are usually nervy tight affairs think we will just sneak it 2 1

I don‘t believe this will be the case though.

Disagree. If things don’t go our way in two one off games that doesn’t detract from what’s been a marvellous season that’s seen us make history by winning the most important trophy for a third successive season.

If we don’t win the CL, it most certainly detracts. It would hurt Pep‘s pride massively, leaving him yet again as undisputed master of his own backyard but serially unable to conquer Europe despite enviable chances against Lyon, Chelsea, Real Madrid and now a modest Inter.

As I said, I’m not expecting it to happen.
 
FFS is it not time yet?

I'm with you on this one. We simply have to win the CL. We can't shy away from another CL failure, not this time. Not after a stupendous run against elite teams. To lose it against an Inter side that's lost 12 league games and only beat Porto, Benfica and Milan to get to the final would be hard to take. I actually think an FA Cup final defeat, whilst bad at the time, would become relatively insignificant if we bring home the big prize from Istanbul.
 
Whats the VAR lineup? Just askin to see how they are gonna interpret a bunch of shit.

Fucks sake, we’ve shied away from nothing, we can only beat what’s been put in front of us, Leipzig, Bayern, Madrid. We’ve got a cup final first against the biggest cunts in football, we’ll get that done first, then do what we need to against Inter. Stop being so negatively focused
