Crystal Palace (H) - Wed 13th May, 20:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Ticket sales looking terrible for tonight. If this was a game to go top it'd be sold out. My word the empty seat lovers will have a field day on twitter tonight.

It’s already started

Pep's embargoed pre-match press conference

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

is the Co-op Live bar open tonight?

Nope

I am pretty sure that most if not all of the availability is from out of town season ticket holders who can't make a midweek game that has been re-arranged at short notice. City have made a rod for their own backs by putting seasoncard prices so high, and that makes it difficult to re-sell them on the exchange because of price. You can't reduce matchday prices if you have high seasoncard prices. They are linked.'

My son and I are 2 out of towners. No way we can make tonight. I don’t finish work until 6 today and live 3 hours away, plus this is his exam week!
Our tickets have sold though surprisingly as in our block 315 there are over 100 available!

See you all on Saturday at Wembley! Come on City!
Oh and Burnley will nick a cheeky draw against Arsenal I reckon

Lets not let them cockney cunts win it at home!

 

[MCFC1993]

Still think we should be pushing for goals tonight.

On the off chance they absolutely shit the bed, we need to be in a stronger GD position.

Rotated side or not, there needs to be plenty of urgency tonight.

I'm working in south Staffordshire( 30 mins from junction 10 m6) until Friday. Don't finish until 6(but will get away at 5.45 ish) it takes me around 1.5 to 2.5 hours to get to junction 19. So with that I'm out for this game unfortunately. Put my (very good CB 0 tier)tickets on the BM exchange for reletive pennies(lower than what I pay on my season ticket) = no takers. I think there's such a distrust between the ticket hierarchy at the moment and it's driving a hell of lot of loyal hard-core blues away. Seems the glory hunters only want the Goons,rags, dips games.

 

[TinFoilHat]

I have a feeling we're going to batter them.

The VAR decision on Sunday will have fired the players up, and we will score enough to nullify the officials and Palace.

Trafford
Nunes Khus Guehi NOR
Nico Bernardo Cherki
Semenyo Haaland Doku

3-1 City

Bloody hell wish I knew I would have of had them! I’m going tonight bought two off city for £102 in south stand and I’m 10 minutes away from j10 too

 

[SilverFox2]

It is likely that usual regulars may not be in attendance tonight. Hopefully this is understood by City.

Blimey! Think my 2 cost about 85 from the club. I really wanted to go tonight but it only got put on my toes on Monday :(

Yeah after you said it might take a couple hours think I’ll leave about half 2 normally park at arndale after £5pm it’s only £8. Any other time it’s £21!!!
Normally get up there for the day but no need to hang round tonight so up and down job haha.

 

[1961_vintage]

I think it's going to be an edgy, nervy and often frustrating night but nevertheless we will prevail.

2-0 City.

 

[lasereyes]

Yeah, we should play for our pride in these last three games, and do our level best to win them ..... the damage for our title hopes has probably already been done, even though we've had our chances .. but ending the season on a high is always better than ending it on a whimper !

And if we can add the FA Cup to our seasons haul, then so much the better .... together with our Carabou cup success, it would mean two more trophies for the clubs trophy cabinet, and for Pep's CV as a serial winning manager.

Agreed. And I don't think the PL is hopeless. There is IMO at least a 10% chance that Arse fuck up in one of their final games. And that is a lot higher than the probability would have been going into stoppage time against QPR or around the 75 min mark against Villa in 2022

 

[kun]

Donnarumma
Nunes Khusanov Guéhi O'Reilly
Bernardo Kovačić
Foden Cherki Doku
Haaland

3-1 win

keep the pressure on Arsenal as much as possible

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Pity we probably won't see Lewis in this one. He has 3 goals in 5 outings against Palace, prolific.

And a red card ;-(

 

[super_city_si]

I think Dias will come back in to partner Guehi.

 

[MCFC1993]

Hope everyone's up for this, I know some have accepted how this is going to play out but we still have to make them earn it.

Even Opta still has us at an 11.4% chance.

 

[Goater101]

Having to shell out for Wembley again in 2-3 days time will hardly help either, a lot of people just won't be able to afford to go to the Palace game as well .... but a lot of City fans will probably feel that the title chance has gone now, and that Palace are hardly a major attraction anyway.

I agree but not turning up cause you think the title is over is a joke let’s be clear.
