Peace Brother. Tonight we cry blue tears but one day soon we will be drinking blue champagne!

Blue champagne! Fuck me!
 
Absolutely gutted. This is going to take a while to settle in. Proud of the lads and the way they played, especially in the second half. Elano showed his class and was unlucky not to be a hero. Why was he subbed? Genuine question......I'm not going to try to start a MH debate but I didn't get that at all. Also, why wait so long to bring on another attacking option in Sturridge? So deeply gutted we are out but can't piss and moan about the game. Let's finish this season as best we can from this point on. Show Pride!
 
well played boys outplayed a very good hamburg side and with a bit of luck we would have beaten them

thanks gelsons dad... im waiting for that champagne... but i had so high hopes for tonight...especially after going 2-1 up.... i then fully expected another goal... i loved how Elano played today... i loved how the team really tried hard... but i hate that hughes didnt get involved into the game until 84th min... we needed new blood earlier and his subs was so dead wrong... sturridge should have been on earlier... and dunne should have been subbed before his second yellow... we were dominating we didnt need him then...

To me, to you, to most people... maybe....

The clueless one.... no chance.

Watch his interview on ITV (Coming up) how many times will he say "positive" or "positives"

I predict... "it was a positive result for us tonight"..... "we have to take the positives out of tonights game".......as a minimum...
 
We didn't go through, but I haven't been this proud of my team since the derby win at OT last year, and before that, well I don't know.

The lads played their hearts out from beginning to end, especially Elano and Robinho, so the journos can fuck about the Brazilian revolt they're supposedly leading, and how they don't want to play for the team. You can all slag off Dunne, Richards, Hughes, whoever you want but I'm not going too, we went out of the competition with our heads held high and nobody can ever take that away from us.

Credit to Hamburg as well, they outclassed at home and although we were by far the better team today, we couldn't break them down and they weathered the storm. Classy opponents and fans and good luck to them, personally I hope they go on to win it.

Alot of times you learn more from a loss then a win, although we technically won today, we were shown that this team DOES have what it takes to get to the next level. They showed that they do have the heart, determination, and skill needed.

aye i believe good managers make subs to solve problems before they happen and take advantage of the opposition before they can react

Evans isn't better than Phil but Phil really isn't having a good game so I don't know. Sadly Dunnie needs to go though or I'm positive we'll finish this game with 10 men.

Any word on subs?

Maybe I should apply for the job. I suck at tactics but that one was bloody obvious...
 
Hopes for European silverware thrown away for this season and next in eight days. It's a shame the Blues weren't ready to battle right from the start, or else they'd be moving on.

Oh well. Hopefully the next manager can bring in some defenders capable of defending and find some players who will actually show up for away games.

Assuming City don't suffer unthinkable home embarrassment for the second straight week, pick up the three points against WBA and then just bring up the young players to see what they can do. Nothing left to play for this season.

To our German friends, what's the odds of Trochowski starting? He absolutely tore strips out of Hoffenheim when he came on, and looked pretty good against us.


Pretty much 100%, the only guys not making the trip are Collin Benjamin (who played well against Robinho) and Guy Demel (didnt play anyways).

The team will look sth like this:

Rost - Jansen, Gravgaard, Mathijsen, Boateng - Aogo, Jarolim, Trochowski, Pitroipa - Olic, Guerrero (Petric)
collin benjamin is a cheat

edit:
i just watched the highlights and im thinking of someone else i think.
No, fu*k it. Ive changed my mind. Most of them are cheats, especially olic (did you see him near the end roling round taking of his socks?!) and that defender that dragged someone down in the box, TWA*S.

seems about right to me... elano easily the man of the match for me... zabaleta was also very good and robinho was up to the best of him... being man marked and all
 
I am very sad. I didn´t believe, but Elano, Robinho and the rest of our players gave me hope...

What a rubbish of 08/09... and we will not be in UEFA CUP next year...
 
For 60 minutes or so Dunne was immense. But time and time again he lets us down with his stupidity.

Fu*kin CHEATS.
 
Lads were brilliant tonight as a team. some individuals were a little poor and Dunne is just s**t. I was calling for him to be subbed during 1st half.
My cripe is the managers subs, he just doesn't change things in a positive way. Just before red card i was screaming for Sturidge and petrov, 3 at back dunne and bridge off. then we could have gone for it big style. But it's MH isn't it.
