We'll be fine don't worry, we won't get beat.
It will be a battle but we won't lose.

Do you know something we dont about uefa on field and var officials?

I'm supposed to be in Rome in March for a job... it's looking like we'll have to delay it as the goods we need have to travel by road through Northern Italy which is already affected :-(

Apparently Italy’s two remaining 6 Nations fixtures are in doubt. The Irish health minister, in particular, has expressed concerns about Italy’s fixture in Dublin.

If those games are cancelled where would that leave Juve’s participation in the CL, Roma and Inter in the Europa League ? Would Lyon be prepared to travel to north Italy? If Juve v Lyon is called off, when would it be played? And if the virus spreads to other European countries isn’t it likely that they will impose travel restrictions? And if a player or club official contracts the virus wouldn’t the entire club be quarantined?

I’m quite sceptical about the CL reaching conclusion this season. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a major sporting ban being introduced in the next couple of months.

All good points. I notice UEFA are giving us team of Italian officials for our Madrid game. Is this another way in which they are trying to stop us?

I reckon we'll see a surprise or two, maybe 3 at the back, maybe Phil ?

Guardiola is guilty of overthinking some of these ties, but if Phil Foden is in a back three, there will be no doubt he has completely lost the plot. :)

Looking forward to a big City victory

It's upto Pep, if the team come away not scoring in Madrid and if he gets his tactics wrong again, major questions will be asked..

asked of who exactly? sick of this line being peddled out. He has no control of a player not being able to convert a pen or miss easy chances

David Silva as a false 9 anyone?

No way

We’ll thrash RM, then the CL will be cancelled this year due to coronavirus

Not that far fetched

Maybe the PL will be cancelled too and the Dippers wait goes on!!
