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

Haaland not out with the subs warming up. Rest of the outfield subs are. Huge blow

All part of our sneaky plan. Not sure what that sneaky plan is though but I'm sure it's a good one.

 

[jimharri]

2 goals in the 88th/93rd minute to boil the piss.

:)

Not sure my nerves will hold out that long!

Win or Lose tonight We have seen the future at the weekend, We are in safe hands and can go again and again.
Yes it will hurt losing tonight, but this season has been a transition and injury-hit squad, I would have taken and bitten their hand off for single game shootout tonight,

City has nothing to lose and should play like it is still an open game at 0.0 because we have to score anyway
Haaland is a blow, but I think the false 9 suits us away from home anyway

COME ON BLUES

Madrid are nothing special. We can do this!
COMMON CITY!

I am not sure according to tnt Madrid have some sort of supeman footballing god called Saint Jude.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Had to turn that shit off from TNT. Once again, they have their Rag and Dipper pundits on our games to sell their wares to the City haters.

It's a downer if you let yourself think with that mindset, That team we have out is still going to cause Real Madrid problems.

I'm sure you're right - but I desperately wanted to see us running them ragged with Erling and Mushy leaving Rudiger stranded, not knowing which one to kick

If he was seriously injured he wouldn’t have travelled surely. I hope he’s just got some slight niggle and pep has no intention of really using him tonight unless the game is on the line with 10/15 to go.

‘Jude’

I wish people would still calling him ‘Jude’. Even Lescott’s at it now.

Almost as bad as Trent

 

[Blue Abroad]

Also, has anyone else had “Marmoush! Marmoush! He can do the fandango!” stuck in their heads this week?

I agree with your first sentence but not your last….

 

[NorCalBlue]

I like the optimism of the result prediction - over 50% think we’ll go through! With the best will in the world it looks more like a dice throw to me. But 1 in 6 happens all the time, so you never know!

 

[M Gaudino]

shady can you send me the links please

Jude, Trent, but it's never been Kev, has it?

 

[Beanhead]

Yep, largely my own doing though.

 

[I'm Blue]

‘Jude’

I prefer Bellingham myself.
Can’t stand the PR ****.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Almost as bad as Trent

VOMIT!!!

 

[Barcon]

That Hockey game had a rare old start the other nite, was mrs Barcon at the game ;-)

No mate. She's a fully reformed Blue ; )

No

Nothing special? but they still managed to outplay us for most of the game in our back yard last week!!

 

[skillman]

He spoke to Pep and told him his knee was hurting him so he’s not risked him.

Apparently Haaland hasn't fully recovered from his knee injury.

Ah, OK. Part of me thought it was to save him for Sunday too. Hopefully he can play some part tonight.
