Unfortunately our full strength at the moment is way way off our full strength. Our form is pretty dreadful as well. As much as I’d love us to win it I don’t think we will. They’ll kick us off the park and be diving all over the place if we will need a strong ref. And their support in the stands is going to be top notch

That's the spirit! I'd of hated to be stood next to you in the trenches.

Something quite funny about Fluminese's young Brazilian striker's name being John Kennedy.

If he put his legs together and pulled his shorts down a bit it'd look like he had 2 massive bollocks hanging out.

Had some distractions to contend with for the past few weeks, plus the post-CL triumph ennui has made me less obsessive than before, but will be all over this today, Bacon butties to accompany it and then City really WILL be "the best team in all the world."
Just do it playing in sky blue, please.

I want to win it, like I want the team to win every game they play. I will be watching it. My point was I'm not really feeling that enthused about the game. I sent to the Super Cup final and that was similar, it was great to win it but it didn't have the same sort of edge as you usually get in a big game.

I understand that. The semi final atmosphere was flat, I thought. I doesn't feel like a big deal but it is for the club. It goes on our CV and I love to see the City name everywhere and on all the trophy we can get. Anyway we are both Blues.

I can't unsee that now

He is not allowed to play today, like De Bruyne and Doku, because they weren´t in the squad vs. Urawa.

Bet you don't ask for “bacon butties” in any NY eatery. You'd get very blank looks.

It's disturbing, isn't it.

Getting somewhat more interested in this now. What I dislike is that while we're doing this, other teams will be putting even more distance between us and them this weekend.

Does that tweet from the Big Man suggest he might play tonight?

Not in the registered squad

Ok. Didn’t know that.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Believe its TNT2 mate, hopefully others can confirm?

Dynamite! Thanks

 

[Alcatraz]

I love our club but I can't see a victory. Not unless Fluminese are poor. We just seem so leaderless with the ball and so nervous without.

But I live in hope.

Can see this one going to penalties !

Is the final in the same stadium as the third place play off?

 

[TonyM]

I wonder if anyone will attend the game?

No, thankfully they're being played in different stadiums. Pitch was bad enough for the semi-final.
