The absolute importance of this match needs hammering home to players.
I'd like us to tell them that any loss of CL revenue is coming out of their pay packets next season, and that more players will have to be sold and less quality brought in if we take this dip in revenue.

Mr Pellegrini is still the Manager of Manchester City football club and should, without hesitation, be picking the team for both Arsenal and Swansea.
The team that he put out against Southampton were strong enough to have beaten them, they just didn't show up. We can only hope that their professionalism, whichever team he chooses, will give them the pride to fight to the end. After all, WE ARE MAN CITY WE FIGHT TO THE END, THE BOYS IN BLUE NEVER GIVE IN.
They didn't show up because they don't have the quality to play the crap way he has us playing and get a result. Slow, slow, pass backwards, slow, attempt killer pass, give ball away, repeat.
Don't you think the last part in capitals is a bit cringey Eccles? You know, considering we've shown on far more occasions the last couple of years that we don't in fact fight to the end and have a tendency to give in quite easily?Mr Pellegrini is still the Manager of Manchester City football club and should, without hesitation, be picking the team for both Arsenal and Swansea.

Sorry Pablo, I must have hit the Caps button after the comma and, because I am a touch typist (& a multi tasker) I wasn't looking at the screen and when I noticed I decided I couldn't be bothered going back and retyping it. :-) Sorry.
I just wish some of those at City shared your passion. :-)Sorry Pablo, I must have hit the Caps button after the comma and, because I am a touch typist (& a multi tasker) I wasn't looking at the screen and when I noticed I decided I couldn't be bothered going back and retyping it. :-) Sorry.

The players who don't show up,who lack bottle and character should be ashamed of themselves.The manager who picks these unmotivated losers should shoulder the responsibility too.
Collectively we haven't been good enough.
Consistent ,only in our inconsistency.

Thank you, they have been my team for over 50 years now, in fact in two weeks time it will probably be 60 years as I reach my 75th birthday, and I just want the very best for them, sometimes I might go about expressing it in the wrong way but my loyalty and passion will always be with my team. (You note the 'my' because they belong to me!! Especially Vinnie because I am old not dead! And Zaba could be thrown in as well. ;-) )
You carry on my lovely.Thank you, they have been my team for over 50 years now, in fact in two weeks time it will probably be 60 years as I reach my 75th birthday, and I just want the very best for them, sometimes I might go about expressing it in the wrong way but my loyalty and passion will always be with my team.

I'm relying more on other teams slipping up, then us doing well. My hope is Norwich can get at least a point, and we don't lose to Arsenal. Its been a while since I've had such low expectations as these. Stumbling over the line will do just fine.

With you on this
Hoping Norwich can take points off the Rags shouldn't be in our thoughts but thanks to under performing players and tactically inept manager we are

Correct rsos.
The game that did for me was the Derby, a real 6 pointer and a draw would have been a great result. Faced with the 3 young speed merchants from OT it was crazy to play his old mate Demi out of loyalty when Sagna would have done the job. We all saw what happened and had we got the draw we would be almost safe now. We sleepwalked into this nightmare scenario. He could have cost us big time.
totally agree, the one for me was the leicester game at home where against the most mobile and fastest attack in the league he played demichelis and kolarov. while others are slagging demi and kolarov off i said the two players didnt pick themselves

One of the fans should walk into the dressing room and give the team talk, try and instill some bloody guts, fight and passion into the boys and let them know what it means to pull on that blue shirt (or ghost green or whatever colour is is called)
i'll do it.
my team talk would be, here you go you bunch of world class players go and express yourself.
see you at full time.

I'd echo that but also add; Do it for those fans out there who've supported us through thick and thin. ............................. and there was a lot of thin this season!! ;-)

Hi Eccles, you know me and I dont mean to be rude to a supporter like you who`s gone home and away for all these years, BUT i want the best for the club I`ve been watching since 1958. the "we`re man city we fight to the end" is at this moment in time Flowery Bollocks which means nothing its just PR speak because we have a manager who`s hobbled and tied the teams hands behind their backs. hopefully see you on the coach on Sunday, please dont smack my legs.

Not been a good season has it. I thought we'd kick on after beating Liverpool at Wembley, but it's just been shite. Too many players not putting in a turn, and the manager pissing around with the team.
