Don't be daft, a club like Brugge could never get to a European final and if they did it wouldn't be much of an achievement to beat them in the final ..... i mean it certainly wouldn't help in carving out a reputation as European royaltyIt will be a different game when we play Brugge in the final
bet fletch n co were fighting back the tearsi was disappointed in the City crowd. No keep ball Ole’s!
That kerp ball 15 minutes must have been shit to watch on TV.
But it was clear Brugge had given up attacking.
Bit harsh on Brugge. They were really well organised and played out from the back really well.when did they start Attacking? thought we were playing a prime Sam Alladyche Bolton side ha
Yes, it was a bit of a Cruz, Campo...when did they start Attacking? thought we were playing a prime Sam Alladyche Bolton side ha

More shots, more on target in that first half with a 640 line up.when did they start Attacking?
Not two relegation teams but the infamous Dipper last game of the season 95/96, football genius Alan Ball telling Kavelashvili (now Georgian President) to get in the corner at 2-2 after being 2-0 down.You sometimes see this happen at the Euros or WC in a 3 game group. It's happened before on the final day of the season where a draw has been good enough for 2 relegation threatened opponents to both stay up.
Either they've known it going into the game or they've realised it during the last 20-30 mins with scorelines elsewhere impacting the game as it did tonight.
It was a bit weird, when we went in front, they started having a go, then suddenly stopped playing, I had no idea what was what, but it became obvious they weren't interested, so people around started looking, and realised there was no need for them to try.
I'm not sure that is great for football, but in the first game against Inter, neither team seemed arsed either, both assuming they'd get through, and us "assuming" we'd get enough points for top 8.
Not sure the new format is that great, but it's given less favourable teams a chance so UEFA might think that is good, as will bigger teams knocking each other out in the qualifiers.
No advantage for winning the League anymore. After we were champions in 2012 we ended in Pot 2, they then changed it so champions were pot 1 based on country coefficients. Those still exist just to confirm many clubs qualify through their confederations. City are top of the coefficients ax are England so Villa are the recipients of good English performances over the past few years. Next season will likely see England with 5 CL spots, let's hope we can retain our place and get a more favourable draw.It was a bit weird, when we went in front, they started having a go, then suddenly stopped playing, I had no idea what was what, but it became obvious they weren't interested, so people around started looking, and realised there was no need for them to try.

Thankfully as they looked dangerous every time they went forward.I was joking about any investigation. But it was clear Brugge had given up attacking. They knew they were through and so did their fans. The last 15 minutes was keep ball from City.
When you’ve got Stones and Akanji going into midfield and the fullbacks ahead of them both, you don’t need to attack, you just need to wait..when did they start Attacking? thought we were playing a prime Sam Alladyche Bolton side ha
At least armchair fans were warm. It was getting pretty nippy in the ground last night.i was disappointed in the City crowd. No keep ball Ole’s!
