Barcelona H CL Pre match thread {merged}

[kippax81]

It's fantastic to see us play Barcelona tonight, especially for the ones who came through the dark years like myself. I will never forget them and they have formed me in to the City-fan I am nowadays, always reckognizing where we come from and being respectfull towards other teams and especially their fans.

Yes we play Barcelona. But we have seen many big teams visiting our stadium lately (Bayern. Real, Ajax, Dortmund). We have had 3 years of (unsuccesfull) CL-experience, we have grown as a club and we play the best football this season ever witnessed at our club. We should not fear anyone, especially at home. Barcelona might be favourites, we are more than capable of giving them on hell of a game and eventually knock them out. I fear their attacking strenght and their players falling over like autumn leaves, influencing the referee. They however will fear our attacking strenght and physical power, knowing what we can do to teams who fail to play to the limit. It'll be a cracking game.

Spot on post. Over 40 years of my life have been dedicated to this club......I think it's called character building....and I sometimes have to pinch myself. I cannot though be respectful to the rags :-)

I cannot go tonight as I have a hospital appointment late this afternoon that I can't miss.Gutted is an understatement. To all of those lucky enough to attend, make the rest of us proud. Show the watching world exactly what it means to support this magnificent Football Club. Sing your hearts out, cheer from the rafters, and roar the boys on to victory.

Barcelona!

Fucking Barcelona....... In the Champions' League! God, we've come a long way. But what a journey. Can't wait.

I know everyone else is fit but its such a shame Aguero's name doesn't feature. Our most important player.

You guys need to beat the sh*t out of them, all their players sound so cocky, and disrecting you lot. Eg. Dani Alves.

well tonight is the night, never in my wildest dreams did i even think of us facing the mighty barca in the CL many moons ago. but times have changed, we have changed and now become like barca in a way as we feared by most teams.

hoping for a total specticular game tonight and show the world that from now on its the mighty city you all should fear.

seriously though, hoping for a stonker of a game, score wise, 3-2 for us

Within a year we have witnessed the 3 players voted the best in the world within a year Ribery, tranny and Messi.

Whatever the score we have arrived.

3-2 to us???
Whatever the score???
Who are you people ... We are playing Barcelona to try and qualify for the next round, you know?

Agree about Clichy, who is playing excellently at the moment, but if Nasri is fit enough he should be playing over Navas as he's a far better player.

looks like they are playing a second string team, we should smash them!!

Relax everybody, we've beaten them before, we can do it again!

I had a dream that we were 2-0 up in 15 minutes. Though David Luiz played for us in the dream as well :S.

Demi and kolarov, OMFG. Messi will turn them 360 degrees. Watford players spun demi all over the place. Hope that line up aint completely true.

I seriously can't get up for this in the same way as many blues obviously are.

Not nervous, not thinking the end of the world if we go out.

Certainly looking forward to watching Messi in the flesh and the likes of Xavi and Iniesta.

Perhaps a generational thing, but I will be more edgy about beating Stoke this weekend.

I want that Premier League, regardless of what our owner would no doubt covet.

Tonight might be the night when games likes this become a little more special if we get a result and put on a show.
