Champions League - QF: Real Madrid, SF: Arsenal/Bayern, (H) for 2nd legs

Not having a go mate but i hate posts like this, other fans seem to think we spent most of our history in the 3rd fucking division, it was one fucking season.
Like i said, not having a go, probably just being a bit touchy ha

That was the longest we ever spent out of the top division - four seasons.

Liverpool were out of the top flight for twice that long before they got their lottery money.

Drawing Real is not the best possible draw. Probably the best team in the competition. The way we've played this season, it will be very difficult to move on to semis.

So, it will be very difficult to move on to the semis and it will be very difficult to win the league this year?
You don't strike me as a very positive person.

Nightmare for City. First tie against the all time record CL winners. And if that wasn't hard enough, if they get through they play the Charity Shield and top-at-Christmas champions.....

'kin 'ell what have a posted now?

;-P

The post referred to our worst form in 10 years. You’ve only been in bad form for a couple of years so not you this time. :-)

We are so unlucky with this draw. We are in our worst form in a decade and RM are in their best form since Zidane was their coach.

I guess you slept through Pellegrini’s final season

Fixed that for you.

Good draw I think. We played all 3 of the teams in our half of the draw last season, quite close together, and they were 3 of my favourite matches ever.

At least we will get to see some good games.

Ours may be switched. Atletico at home as well and they came out first.

According to UEFA rules, if two teams from the same country are at home in the same week and one has to switch, it is the one who finished lower in their domestic league the previous season.

So that would be Athletico.

Reasonably happy with that draw. I genuinely think madrid are weaker than last year and bayern are a bit unpredictable (they'll walk over arsenal i think given 2nd leg is at theirs)

Think we'll get PSG in the final if we make it.

Very very happy that both second legs will at our place though should we get to that stage

Not just that, we thrive on the big stage these days. (Anfield aside..)
This team will be chomping at the bit to prove all the naysayers wrong.
