We are getting better by the week, I don't understand the negativity, we have lost 2 games all season, in all competitions, we will be up for this one, its the shit from down the road we are playing, lets get positive, Come on City for fuxx sake.

Not been negative about a derby game for years , but we have to accept even a knob like Ole can sometimes steer £500m of players in the right direction occasionally , but i am supremely confident about this semi-final , they will be built up as the new title contenders , thursday night cup favourites , but the fact recently we always beat them when it comes to winning trophies will be totally ignored.

The first half of the semi at the swamp last season was one of the best 45 minutes of football that we've ever produced.

They have spent about 250 million since then, not that its common knowledge in the unbiased Press.

Wont be easy.
I still think they are over hyped but they are in better form than us and our record in recent derbies is very poor.
I don't think Pep fully understands them if I'm honest and that's the problem.

You have hit the nail on the head on both points.....Mancini understood it but I too think Pep does not take it seriously....they should have been beaten by West Ham and Southampton and rely on other teams mistakes and the maggot Penandes falling over at the right time..the luck factor and dodgy decisions they get is second to none....get on top of the kick and rush tactics and Augero fit...should be ok......

He's learning based on the last game tbf. We didn't walk into any obvious traps. If Aguero can play then the added ruthlessness up front should be decisive.

It's a shame it will be coming off the back of two hard away games already at Everton and Chelsea.

If we have done well in those games, our confidence will be high.

It's a one-off game, just go for it, they can hurt us, no doubt, but if we have the right set-up and intensity, we will score more goals than them.

3 at the back is the way to beat the scum

Ederson
Stones Dias Laporte
Fernandinio
Walker Cancelo
Kev Bernardo
Aguero Sterling

Been looking for a video of this draw as I missed it in real time but strangely can't find it anywhere.

EDIT* Just found it...if we assume that the balls aren't in compartments, that the side of the bowl isn't transparent, balls were all the exact weight/size with numbers not raised and the same temperature or that it was just ONE draw then it looked fine.

We could have drawen Brentford at home and still some people woulds have claimed it was fixed.
Unfuckingbelievablejeff.

Pep does tend to take winning trophies very seriously though, regardless of the opposition.
