Eliminate the negative accentuate the positive... and importantly consider the facts..
In the last five games they have ponced a measly five goals; We have scored 18. Nobody has beaten us at home for twelve months. We have home advantage against them and we just annihilated them at their own place. We also dumped them out of this competition last season. They are prone to having players sent off against us in games that matter because, they are the weaker and more desperate team..We are also current holders of this trophy and league leaders.. We are also breaking all manner of records (including goals scored). we have a better, bigger and stronger first eleven and a far superior squad. We are rightly the favourites to win this cup tie. The bookies don't lie. Our Management and players are relishing this battle, as I believe are many of us fans. Their management, players and supporters are dreading meeting us again. It has only been a relatively short time since takeover and we are already experiencing the onset of dominance over our nearest rivals.
I cheered watching the draw arrive. This is what it is all about; Winning big games against clubs with past glories, as we continue to create our own successes. Liverpool, Utd and Liverpool again, all at home: Relish the occasion. May this blue tide wash over everything that stands in our way. I said it when Mansour took over and I'll say it again; "Prolonged success and numerous trophies for Manchester City Football Club during the next two decades is inevitable." We have already witnessed the early stages and victories associated with Empire building...CTWD..Sorry for preaching to those that do already and for any doubters left, a single word: Believe.
