My cousins are down there and they saying it doesn’t feel like our normal fan base I suppose lots of tourists have snapped up tickets.

They'll all be at the ground then.

At least Scum fans won’t take the piss out of City accents.

Should be spanking Utd today, especially since we have Zinedane ZiBobb playing for us. Start as you mean to go on…

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I don’t think we did take it as seriously as we should have. If we had, the celebrations after the league win would have been postponed until after the final.

At any rate, I care about the performance, not the result. As long as the players put in a committed shift that honours the fans efforts to support them, I will be happy.

If you’re worried about effort, the kids will put a shift in, I wouldn’t worry about that. Pep never tolerates anything else. Whether they can get a result is a different matter. Whilst I always want City to win there’s nothing significant to read into anything that happens and any “performance” today will be irrelevant to next weekend because it will be a different City team

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Not. Bothered. In. The. Slightest. Maybe I'm gettin' old.......

 

[Oldham Exile]

Of course, hence why I only care about the performance, as any fan should, which is independent of which players Pep selects to start.

Fans travelling hours, and likely spending hundreds (or more) to see the team play are perfectly within their rights to expect a committed performance—that honours their efforts to support the club—from whichever City team takes to the pitch later.

Yep

You cannot be a City fan over 50 and expect winning

But we have a right to expect effort

 

[GaudinoMotors]

It is "sinigicant", everytime we play the cnuts. The day a result against our hated neighbours is irrelevant; is the day to pack it in.

A lot of back covering and denial going on.

Was the same last year IIRC.

I'm working anyway but I've only come on here to see when KO is, so I guess I'm not too concerned myself :)

Seen 3 rags get let into our end, stewards don't give one
