It won't be easy. West Ham aren't a bad side at all and have some decent players. Let's hope we have enough in the tank left to get the 3 points. That's all that matters at this stage.

It aint over yet, i honestly think it'll be a tough game.
2-1 City, late winner

 

[Keeper!]

Total commitment from everyone to get us over the line.

That stadium needs to be bouncing , loud and aggressive for the WHOLE game.

Twists and turns could well be involved as we know from experence.

This is not over yet but it's in our hands and we could not wish for more.

It seems that the West Ham game will be shown live on Sky but the Arsenal game will be on TNT. Thank goodness we have Sky!

 

[Palerider]

Tough game, West Ham have pace up front so can do us on the counter similar to QPR, Villa and Real Madrid. We will, understandably, be nervous. Fans required big time and no fucking groaning just encouragement. Come on City, we can do this.

Why both fucking awful

Wonder if we can offer west ham a £2m discount on kalvin Phillips to let us win.
That should appeal to them :)

If we play Kalvin Phillips then you are guaranteed to win.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Four away games from the last six.
8 PL wins on the bounce.
Goal Difference narrowed.
Top of the League when it matters.
This team,coach,club & fans have got cojones !!

It's up to the fans to roar the team over the line on Sunday....take nothing for granted.

Immortality awaits !!

Sack that. Wouldn’t want one, certainly not off them. Just gives them food for motivation and I prefer to give them nothing.

Did we get a guard of honour last year !
Like you....fuck that.

93:20, by any chance?

Not good for your health all this anxiety lol why couldn’t I be interested in crown green bowls or something haha

 

[mancityscot]

Atmosphere will have a huge huge impact so everyone in the ground needs to be bang at it on sunday. West Ham have the players that can do damage, so we need to make it unbearable for when they have the ball. Cant let the game and atmosphere fall into a lull, because thats when nerves can kick in.

 

[Claytop]

Lets not forget that in that Villa game we had a 37 year old Fernandinho & a patched up Laporte playing through injury with Cancelo & Stones as full backs!

The defence on Sunday will be night and day compared to that.

Confident of it being more comfortable this time round...

You just know that wont be what happens we will all be in knots with bare drama throughout the game lol.

 

[mosssideblue]

Whatever dickheads are predicting we'll draw or get beat still don't understand this City side, do they?

We're the best there is. No stopping us.

You're obs new to this

 

[NZBlue]

Will we see Sir Joseph of Barton as a pundit? There would be a certain irony?

 

[Blu3m00n91]

This city team will never be complacent. That is something I’m not worried about in the slightest. Pep doesn’t even need to do a team talk this squad is full of characters.

Score early and then it’s party mode.

All eyes now on the West Ham game. We know how strange a final day can be, even with the outcome in our hands. However, last night looked to be the stuff of Champions, a really hard fought performance. We weren't at our best, with several putting in probably their worst performances of the season and yet we still rallied together to see it through.

What our critics choose to overlook is the spirit and culture within the club, which is truly exceptional and essential for this period of succes. Many teams and owners have tried spending fortunes as they've attempted to assemble an elite team, few have achieved it. Often the culture and team spirit is the missing component. I'm so impressed with this group, having achieved the treble last season to be where they are now is incredible. Two finals to go and nothing guaranteed of course, but what a position to be in. CTID
