Mancini has said he wants us to qualify for the EL, he can't really say anything else publicly. But he's also made comments about the advantages of not playing european football from feb. When he's asked, he's bound to say that we'll be playing to win on Tuesday. But his selection will say otherwise

A few years ago, we could only dream of playin european football and look at some of the sides that are in it. There's more crackin days out comin our way if we can get in there. I for one will be at the game on tuesday night and will be hopin for a victory, along with a couple of thousand other Blues. GET A GRIP!! Come on Citeh!!
Not all of those there will be hopin for a victory, at least not unless Ajax win in Madrid.
You honestly think people are going to travel all that way and hope we don`t win?
I will be cheering on my team and hoping that they win like i do in every game they play!

Yes, bought my ticket before the RM game knowing full well that we could be out of the CL. I'm looking forward to trip should be a great couple of days. But if asked why I support City it wouldnt be because I expect them to provide me with several mini breaks every year.
I do not want City to qualfy for the EL, I do not believe we would have won the league if we had had to play 2 semi finals in April. A creditable draw will do me fine.

“We want to qualify for the Europa League if we can. It will help to keep all the players in the squad happy because they will play more.
“It is an important competition if you win it. It helps in the Champions League and you get to play in the Super Cup in Monaco.
“But if you are in it you have to win it. If you play a lot of games but don’t win the trophy, you get the kind of problems with tiredness that we had last season.
“So on one hand it is good to be in it and on the other it isn’t. If we qualify then we will try to win it.”
Mate I didn't intend to wind anybody up, but you clearly are rubbishin the europa league, if you wanna field a shit side. We don't have any shit players at our club and even if all our top players were injured, we should still be able to beat the rags, with a so called weaker side, full of passion. Remember 23rd September 1989? No, you probabley don't and probabley havent been through all the shit that us die hard long sufferin PROPER Blues have. Like I said, get a grip NEW FAN. Now I'm gettin wound up!!!mansour's tow ropes said:Hopeitschipskippax said:Lads, I can understand that some of you would prefer us to field a weaker team, but some of you are rubbishing the Europa League.

this really winds me up. wanting to play a shit team in this game has nothing to do with where we've come from, its to do with what we are doing 5 days later against the rags. we are not rubbishing the europa, but given our injuries and form this year it would be best if we werent in it
Weakest team please, we`re out and the Europa league is a load of crap. Concentrate on the premier league.WNRH said:Strongest possible team please, we are supposed to be winners and we cannot end the champions league winless and bottom of the group. We need to win the europa.
