Atletico (H) | CL QF 1st Leg - Tue 5th April, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[hammocity]

Refs who blow for anything, blues getting shifted for UEFA’s corporate freeloaders, daytrippers and tourists wandering about taking selfies and still trying to find their seats 20 minutes into the game. What’s not to like?….

Yeah but what about the temporary traffic lights on Bird Hall Lane?

Giménez injured and won't be in Manchester.

Big blow for them as he's their best defender

That's great for us... he's brilliant.

It will be a tough win 1 nil against a well organised team parking the bus - just hope they dont kick lumps out of our players before Liverpool

Match predictions:

1. We will smash them by three of four
2. Simeone will run up and down the touchline waving imaginary cards
3. At least four Atletico players will have life threatening injuries during the game but miraculously recover after a couple of minutes
4. If you thought the likes of Palace and Neverton could waste time you ain't seen nothing yet
5. The ref will add on zero minutes of injury time in the first half
6. A fucking drum will find its way into the ground but scores of City fans will be told they can't bring a bag in with them and have to pay £5 to store it somewhere
7. The stupid anthem will be booed but on TV the music will be just turned up to mask the booing
8. TV commentators will manage to mention the rags in the first ten minutes

Atletico is a proper CL tie. Exciting couple of games ahead !!!

 

[Trickyblues]

Hope you’re all ready…

 

[Trickyblues]

Ha!!

Hmmm is this a double bluff?

Also, him saying he always overthinks in the CL. Yet he wins leagues most season but should have won more CL's. Maybe should stop overthinking then and just approach it in same way as league games.
But there's probably an element of sarcasm here

Atletico have won their last 6
Won't be easy

One to endure, this. Easier in the ground than in front of BT Spite, though.

I want us to win the bloody thing. For Ferna to accept the trophy, and - without lifting it - lead the boys in single file, stony faced, over to the City fans, and lift the fucker for them, and not for the TV crews.

Love City. Hate the Champions League. Still, at least Atlético and City are champions.

Probably?
