Have the nerves kicked in yet?

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. What terrible news. Best wishes to you both.
 
Usually would be a bag of nerves, but more focussed on the CL final tbh

If we turn up and play anywhere near our potential, we will win.

If we really turn up, we could give them a beating

But it's a cup game, and anything can happen. That's why 5 titles in 6 year is more than either of the pots ahead for me

Ah mate, that's awful. Love to you and yours and keep talking
 
I'm in majorca so will be watching it here.
I'm really concerned about tomorrows game.

It bothers me that we haven't had the intensity for a few games and havent been playing our first team. I think that could prove to be a mistake.

I think they will come at us with intensity, power and aggression. We could struggle despite being a miles better team.

Then again, we could just twat them.

The days of pacing up and down waiting for the derby are long gone (because they're fucking shit).

The 80's and 90's mentality of hoping we don't get twatted is now the rags reaction to playing lickle old city (because they're fucking shit)

Anything can happen in a derby but there's a reason they're 11/2. (It's because they're fucking shit).

I was nervous before Madrid because they were good in the CL but we dry bummed them. In 99% of matches against the rags we should batter them (because they're fucking shit)

Have I mentioned they're fucking shit?

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.

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
 
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
 
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.
