Real Madrid (H) - Wed 17th April, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

Don’t think I could handle a 1-0 especially if we score early, I do expect quite a few goals tonight, whoever goes behind will have to go for it, leaving gaps at the back. I doubt we will get anything like last years first half, but if we do oh my what a night it will be.

I think I’ll be near death by the final whistle if it does end up with us protecting a 1-0 lead…

But I would still bite your hand off if you offered that as a guaranteed result with now injuries or suspensions.

I've done my cleaning, laundry, sorted the bins, anything else I can do to pass the time?

Have you really cleaned the toilet(s)?

As in, really cleaned them?

Well I pissed all the way around the edge, what more can I do?

This is what of all the bad nights and days over the years were for. The hope that one day we'd get to experience days like this.

Nervous but excited. City shirt on, head out soon, grab a beer, welcome the players, 2 hours of non-stop noise.

Ederson
Walker, Dias, Akanji
Stones, Rodri
Bernardo, De Bruyne, Grealish
Foden, Haaland

Gvardiol or Walker, and Ake or Akanji, the only real questions.

Gvardiol will start.

Given he was out for 2 weeks, Ake's no more than an option from the bench in this game. Guess he'll start vs Chelsea.

An age old question of men.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Unfortunately cant make tonights game hope our fans do their job and make as much noise as possible. Remember last year madrid saying how intimidating it all was

 

[MafeotulBlue]

We have a responsibility of believing. To pull the force of the universe to bless us again. The boys will fight, let’s hope for the best.

And what's a magic box ? Poor lad must be fucked !!

Cut 38 keys for a care home and the magic box is a gadget that shows any footy she wants.

That's gone a bit over my head after a few afternoon pints. Was just hoping for the return of the ship!

Makes no sense to me either.

I thought I was only a mess for CL games because we hadn't won it, but I feel just as fucking nervous as I did last season. Never get this same sense of dread/excitement/hope/fear from any other games in all honesty. Buzzing!

Telling myself our best is better than theirs. Pep was supremely confident last season, even texting camelgob pre-match saying we'd win. Feel like he believes we've got enough again if we play our way at home...here's hoping!

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

3-1 City
Erling with a brace

Same score I'm going for. I think Haaland will revel in the criticism and ramming it down people's throats. There's no better stage than this.

 

[york away to this!]

Presume there'll be a discreet bag of ket taped under each seat so we can appreciate that DJ's talents...

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Found Kyle Walker's alt.

 

[Dodge]

I think a good half of them that were there were indeed plastic fans from England. Always the same with Real and Barce. The only authentic match going fans I met in Madrid last week either supported City, Athletico or Dortmund

Bumped into loads of Bilbao fans as well who were proper fans, celebrating their Copa del Ray win.

“It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another.”

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. Come on City. Show 'em lads, show 'em all. Especially that lot of foreigners from Espana who think they have a divine right to win this trophy. No way Jose.
Especially the know nowt, biased media wallies who will be hoping we don't do it. We'll show you lot of ignorant, empty headed, discourteous hacks what we are made of, just watch us.
Especially the Specsavers needing, predisposed, warped, influenced, ninny hammer, dillweed, shitake mushroom officials who always think they can grind us down. Well you can't you foolish, clodplates. Do you not know yet who we are? We are MANCHESTER CITY, THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD. Remember that for ever you silly people.


Come on John Boy, forget the Gucci suits and just remember the City football kit. Don't get injured again, I'm not sure I can cope with another injury. Plus if you don't play I have to choose a MOTM and I hate leaving anyone out, they all play so well!!!

A bit early tonight as I will be leaving for the game in about half an hour.
