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.

And if we win tonight's game by 2 or 3 goals, OPTA's estimate will go up.

Mancunian weather for the Croydon cunts.

 

[Danny Tiatto]

Taking away the opportunity for Arsenal to lift the trophy at home is big enough motivation to get the job done tonight.

Still reckon there is a chance they fumble one of the final two matches as well so we have to be positioned to take advantage

It’s sunny currently!

We have had torrential rain, hail and sunshine so far

Would it be too much to ask for a 4-0 lead by HT allowing us to make 5 subs to rest for the weekend and go into that injury free and full of confidence?

Hadn't thought about that. That's definitely something to incentivise the players.

 

[Father Paul]

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

Perhaps. But maybe not turning up has a lot to do with the change of date and people unable to attend for a whole host of reasons.

Bit dark at present …. (4:20pm) … it who cares?!

Would it be too much to ask for a 7-0 lead by HT allowing us to make 5 subs to rest for the weekend and go into that injury free and full of confidence?

I live about half a mile from the Etihad and the raincloud's are definitely out here, its lookin dark, there's a wind about, and the rain's been on and off all day, and it's right raining now ... hard to see it really changing much to be honest.

It's almost 5pm now ..

For those that like a flutter, Bet365 have the Viking to score at evens.

Just not sure he'll start, personally. But worth a go as they'll void it if not.

 

[skillman]

This is what I think he'll go with because I think Pep will prefer Ake over Guehi on Saturday after his reliability in the Carabao final and in recent weeks.

Think certain others will be rested too (NOR, Bernie, Cherki, Haaland) while others (Kovacic, Rodri, Foden) could do with minutes.

Just fuckin win

That’s really what’s it about. Just win. Forget goal difference and forget Arsenal. The only way is win. Or a fucking win for that matter, whatever starting 11.

i'm sure guardiola and the players are up for it.

reckon he will go pretty much full strength tonight
and the same again on saturday,
then see where we are at with injuries or tiredness.

this is not the time for pissing about with make-shift line-ups.
