Real Madrid (A) - Wed 19th Feb, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[noseve]

Gotta love these posters saying how relaxed they are about it - they know as well as I do that the first time we slice through their defence (hopefully, in the first two minutes) suddenly it'll be 'Bloody hell, we might actually be on, here...'.
Cue another 120 minutes of ecstatic purgatory...

I'm fed up of outplaying these total gits every year before going out cos of a mad 5, or single pathetic excuse for a penalty. We should be swanning in there with an air of superiority about us, not all the kowtowing defeatist crap I read on here.

They are so used to teams shuffling through their tunnel, overawed by the hype. Those old enough to remember apparent no-hopers Wimbledon singing and taunting Liverpool at Wembley in 1988 know what I mean. Bounce through there as though we own the f*cking place!

And we are no Wimbledon! Come on City!

Shit I wished I hadn’t bothered coming now. Team should head back and forfeit the game

Fucking plastic. I give up 90 mins every week to watch this shower on my snide firestick ;-)
Have a lively time and don't fucking jinx it.

Imagine how we'll feel when the team sheet drops with Lewis at RB and a midfield 3 of Gundo, Kova and KDB.

Slightly miffed

Behave, will you?

 

[SWP's back]

Voted for us to win but still go out. Not sure of the maths for that to happen, but it seems the most utterly city thing to do :-(

That’s nothing. I’ve voted for us to lose and go through. Will be interesting to see

Fuck Rudiger

I hope his fucking legs fall off.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Not arsed if we go out after CL matches, but the thought of kicking out the natural CL winners inkl sympathetic gentlemen like Rudiger, Bellendham or the cry baby gives me the good feeling that Real has to lose much more than us tonight!

They know we've thrown it away last week, they've seen our 4-0 and I bet we'll be 1 up at some point - then we'll see if our lads keep their swagger and piss on their arrogant party....

Totally relaxed. I'll take it with a shrug - or in the other case with a big fat fist pump and a similar thought for our red friends next Sunday...

HAVE A GREAT DAY BLUES. ENJOY THE RIDE!

Stranger things have happened - like about 3 of the dippers CL trophies for starters.

Me and my 16 year old have just hit the bar in Tenerife (early flight to Madrid tomorrow), we’ll certainly be leaving nothing out there. CMON City

I hope the 16 year old is on lemonade and crisps!

 

[Mancity1980]

Well a 2-0 City win certainly would ......

..... i don't think the away goals rules applies, so if we managed to win 1-0 it would only take us to penalties .. and Ederson rarely ever saves any!

Substitute the goalkeeper late in extra time?

 

[youngbob]

Feel the same as I did before the first leg. Champions League is not a priority for me this season so I'm not bothered if we go through or not, and I'm actually confident that going out will all but secure us top four if the new lads continue to bed in, but if we put in a good showing and get a 2-2 draw tonight then I'll be happy with that for sure.

 

[blue cigar]

Keep it tight then take over the game second half.
I fucking hate these diving cheating bastards, Bellingham was made for that club.

Most important thing in this lineup is Not Lewis.

I hope the 16 year old is on lemonade and crisps!

6 pints and 10 large jäger bombs. I was cleaning up puke from 1 am til 3 am and then up for the airport at 4:30. He made a mess in Tenerife airport too, bad dad

 

[Indaparkside]

Real just under evens City just over 2/1 with bookies in Spain even they are undecided
They think it’s going to be tighter than @Tim of the Oak getting a round in

Never get tired of listening to Steve, talks sense and takes no shit.
