Anyone know any pubs in Nantwich/Crewe area that will definately be showing the match.....due to the large amount of wannabe bin dippers here it can be a hassle to find City games being shown.

Can't understand the term "let's throw this one and focus on the Arsenal game". These are footballers on millions of pounds, not people working 18 hours a day in Third World Countries. Win win and win, that's the only way forward. Keep the momentum going. A win tonight will boost the morale of our players and make us even more fearless than we already are. We rest up tonight, and get thumped and we will be a team who's laid all their eggs in one basket like we did last season when we played United in the League Cup. We were never the same team after that. A loss can knock you off your stride and make you feel like you're beatable, even if you are almost unbeatable. Wins breed confidence, and that's what we should be aiming for. The Champions League is more important to win that the league this season, and we must treat it seriously. No disrespect to Arsenal but we should win that match quite comfortably. Arsenal are a poor side this season.

Footballers are to well looked after. Our strongest team should easily be fit enough to play tonight and again on Sunday.

Completely agree. We have a squad full of young lads, if they can't play 2 matches in 4 days then they are in the wrong job! Should be a win tonight, Napoli are a good side but they have weaknesses as shown in key games last season in Serie A and in the Champions League. Our pace on the counter could well finish the game, and Napoli's campaign off. Looking forward to it!

Are you old enough to remember watching Dr Who from behind the sofa as a kid? i'll have snacks if anyone wants to join me
As for the team pep puts out i hope he plays dave and kev,raz and sane , walker and not sure LB,might be worth danny for his experience
 
Any locals or people with knowledge of Long Beach (Los Angeles area) have any suggestions where to watch the game? I'm in a hotel and not convinced it will be on one of the channels in my room and starting to panic! Failing that look out for me pestering for streams on the matchday thread ha

I think this is a game City need to show they are worthy contenders to go all the way. For me this is a real test. If you win, which I think you will, it will embolden you. If you fuck up, then this will signal that you just aren't there yet. You should win and I think to put down a marker, you need to.

I think you are right.

I'm seldom wrong. :)

It's about belief. These are games the top sides who'll be fighting it out for the cup should win. No matter how good Napoli are, they won't be near the last 8 and if you are going to be then as hard it will be, you need to win. There is no doubt you are the better team. But as we all know to our personal mental health woes, the better teams don't always win, this is a test of bottle. I hope you pass it. Think you will.
 
Really hope no blues have travelled tonight, according to the early morning BBC news Liverpool and Tottenham are the teams representing the uk tonight The Second half performance by them at our place ,plus the partisan crowd and the realisation that they have some cracking players, would make me a thrilled blue to take a point tonight. One things for certain are much improved defence will be well tested tonight Really hope all goes ok and our magnificent fans arrive home safely
