Re: CL Last 16 vs Barcelona

Not a single city fan was surprised by this such a fucking fix. I admire people's optimism saying we'll win and we are certainly capable but my worry is Messi is getting back to his record setting best and he is exactly the sort of player Demi and Mangala struggle against. Think Joe and Sergio will need to play out of their skins for this one.

Barca's non existing defense will surely have nightmares about coming up against Aguero though.

I think we will be a better side when we face them again, definitely capable of beating them over two legs.

Looking forward to it, just waiting on dates for flights now.

Just seen us at 14/1 to win it which makes us 5th favourites.

Think about that for a moment.

You've got to laugh. Our kid asked me to text him the draw so I said to make it quick it'll be 'A' for Real Madrid & 'B' for Barecelona.

The thing I can't quite work out is that they obviously know in advance which teams we (or anyone else can play).So they set up all those pots, with one for each club, that have all the potential opponents in. So our pot has six balls in and the other seven pots have the teams that the other second place teams can play. But when one of those possible opponents comes out then that eliminates that team from all the other. For example, once Chelsea were drawn, no one else could draw them. So how do they manage that? The only way they can do it is by knowing which teams are in which balls surely?

But we will be playing with 10 men for about 120 of the 180 minutes once UEFA appoint Jonas Eriksson or Viktor Kassai.

Hart

Zabaleta Kompany Mangala Clichy

Fernandinho Fernandho

Silva Toure Nasri

Aguero

If we can get this team out first leg then I think we can beat them.

Better Barca in the CL than Siberia Rovers in the EL!!








Or AC Milan in a friendly in Dubai, even.
