Playing there first gives us a real advantage.

They have to come at us.

If Sergio is fit this time around, we can certainly go through.

Were at home first mate
 
Re: CL Last 16 vs Barcelona

If we're going to win it, we will have to face the best, and we will know how to play them this time hopefully.
Sergio will be back by then, hopefully he can pick up where he left off, we are also defending better, Pellegrini seems to have reigned in his over adventurousness ( which has left us vulnerable in big-games) we might not be free scoring, but check out the goals conceeded tally in our last 5 games.
In with a chance

Who cares if it was fixed and who the draw is, if we played Monaco, Dortmund or whoever and got an easier tie we'd then afterwards be open to play an even harder team. It is pointless in this competition picking and choosing your draws based on difficulty, they are all difficult and it gets worse. Of all the teams we could of got, I'd place Barcelona quite highly on my desirable list because Real, Atletico and so on can beat us but Barcelona play 1 way, are reliant on 1/2 players and we know exactly what to do this time.

It matters because City can't get out of Pot 2 by going out in the round of 16 every year.

If we win the Prem we are automatically in pot 1 next year (rules changes)
 
Re: CL Last 16 vs Barcelona

Its quite clear that they do not want us to progress, the chances of us getting a group of death every single year then getting Barca twice in succession after we manage to get through is highly unlikely. Add all this to the FFP bollocks only points to one thing. IT FUCKING STINKS.

Runners up always at home first

Chav v PSG

Us v Barca

Are the big TV ties. Bet SKY and ITV want them both.
 
Re: CL Last 16 vs Barcelona

If we beat them everybody connected to the club will seriously believe we can win the competition.

This could be the best draw for us.
 
Re: CL Last 16 vs Barcelona

We'd have to beat at least 2 of Real, Bayern or Barca to win the thing so may as well start now

Anyone saying it's fixed should probably wonder why they would give 'UEFAlona' the best possible opposition

No Yaya could be a blessing - injuries permitting.
