I thought we weren't their rivals.

Is that the best they can come up with?

United are the only football team mentioned in the Bible.

'But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.' (Isaiah 64:6.)

Queen of the South also mentioned! I remember it from a quiz. No idea of chapter and verse though.

I turn 40 next month. Woke up this morning and the missus said “do you want an early birthday present?” Thought it’d be a shag, but she’s got me the new home top with my name and 40 on the back. What a star.

Now put it on and have a shag.

The Rags are only capable of beating us by one goal. We are capable of destroying them. We must do that from the start. Give them zero respect. The cup will be ours.
If, however, we are tentative and allow them to stop our natural game, we will be in trouble and any outcome is possible.
Just do it, City.

 

[Sir peace frog]

line-ups?

CITY (4-2-3-1): Ortega; Walker, Akanji, Dias, Ake (if 100 per cent); Stones, Rodri; Gundogan, De Bruyne, Grealish; Haaland.


rags (4-3-2-1): De Gaya; Wank-Bissaka, Varwank, Lindeloff the wrist, Shaw-wank redemption; Eriksen, Casemircat, McTomingay; Brunomo, Garnachomo; Rashford.

no right winger,one too many defenders, you need to take one of walker/akanji/ake out and put bernardo in

If City play as we can and we attack at every opportunity then we will win this game. I am not nervous because it is Man Yoo. I think they should be more worried about us than us about them. We are a much better team with better players, manager, coaches, staff, stadium and fans. We finished 14 points clear of them. We have Haaland the beast and De Bruyne the orchestrator. Mahrez, Bernardo, Foden and Grealish who are the best players in their positions in world football. We wiped the floor with Madrid. I am looking forward to an exhibition of football from the blues. A beautiful day with blue skies and 45,000 blue shirts descending on London. Keep the faith, up the blues.

All the pre-match bullshit as usual is about our opposition and how they can beat us , Varane and Casamiro clearly stating they do not fear us , it must be a Real Madrid thing , the cowards from Spain who were also saying how they do not fear us a couple of weeks ago and turn up and get absolutely obliterated.
If i was an opposition player i would be saying f*ck all in danger of poking bear , keep it low key show respect like we do to our opposition and pray to god that Pep and his team have a nightmare.
Patently obvious which side the media want to win and have the headlines ready , but if the Rags beat us it will be a shock on a par with Wigan beating us a decade ago , that is how superior we are to the Rags.

Of course they fear us because do you think they would ever dare thinking about trying to go toe to toe with us? Of course not, they know they would get annihilated.

Their game plan will be defensive first and trying to shithouse their way through the game and cease on what opportunities they get, which is fine that's basically what they should be doing because why would they play into our hands by going toe to toe?

But make no mistake, the way they will approach the game is built out of fear of gettimg the arses handed to then, so they are talking shite.

They are absolutely bricking it.
