Have the nerves kicked in yet?

I sincerely hope she pulls through Ray and that your son is coping with this terrible news

Thanks mate, he’s just on auto pilot just now, coping the best he can.

Never get pissed before the game or even before the game...today is an exception...pissed tonight and tomorrow...the only way I can handle it, anyone else ? CTID

As long as you can keep it control - I no longer worry about it as we have the best players, team, manager, club anywhere in the world. If we play to 50% of our potential we will stuff the scum. Belief is all.

Sorry for dampening the mood, normally I’m a nervous old bstard before any derby game however this time it’s different, after the Madrid game I got a phone call to say my sons girlfriend had taken a seizure, she was taken to hospital the same night, the scan reaveales she had a small tumour on the brain and it’s malignant, they are hoping she will be operated on in the next couple of weeks, since the Madrid game I can’t get excited about football, I’ve been watching City since 1963 and this is the best time to be a Blue.

So sorry to read this ray21, puts the game of football into perspective. Best wishes to you and all your family. can't comprehend how you are all feeling. God bless you all

I’ve been drinking all day and I’m still nervous, alcohol is overrated

If the City who played Real Madrid turn up - stairway to heaven.
If the City who played Chelsea in our last final turn up - forever autumn.

Just looked at some of the odds for tomorrow and the bookies really don’t fancy the rags at all

Rashford is the only first scorer in the first 10 lowest odds - other 9 are all city players

2-0 is the lowest odds for a city win 7-1

Halftime/Fulltime is ridiculously low at 5/4

same here, just had a flutter on 3-1 tomorrow and 2-0 next week.

If that happens, I’ll start paying tax on my foreigners for 6 months

My thoughts are with you ray21. Hope she pulls through

Guys, those who write that they are not nervous… Believe the Madrid fan with 29 years supporting history. No matter how much you’ve won before. No matter how big previous achievements were. With all new opportunity you become much more nervous closer to the game.

I was much more agitated in 2018 in Kiev rather than in 2016 in Milan. And last year it was a pinnacle of emotions.

So, trust me, you will get nervous if we talk about the CL final.
