I can't stop peeing because of the nerves, and there's still well over 3 hours to go yet!

Peeing? I can't stop shitting!

Could PSG switch Mbappe to their right flank tonight?

If they see it as a weakness for us,then yes i think they could try and exploit it.

Fucking hell, you’re going to have a right itchy arse when those nails reappear.

Not at left back it hasn't

Current Zinchenko is better than Clichy was at that point, IMO. He served us well but was well past top level by the time 2017 rolled around.

I specifically left out Neymar. If he is feeling it then he is unplayable but there is something called complacency, that is where big talents falter. He choose to play in a farmer's league, day in and day out against mediocre opposition for a few years. He seems less and less arsed at the moment, hard to not be when you get paid and get away with anything. His performance in the league has been dreadful. He seems to have 'dumbed' down playing in that league instead of honing his skills in a top league.

Contrast that to our team, every week we play against teams whose average level is crazy high, you just can't not be at your best to win a league. Just put it this way, its easier for us to play at a very high level consistently than PSG who are being tasked to do it 4-6 times in a year. And thats where I put my money, to a team that has been consistent.

I agree with that 100%.

Worth bearing in mind that they're currently behind Lille in Ligue 1 and only a point ahead of Monaco so they're not running away with anything this season. They've lost at home to both teams recently and to BM in the last round - they only went through on away goals so it's not as if they're blowing teams away. They let goals in too.

Quietly confident over the 2 legs.

Lots of good questions to ask about team selection here. Stones or Laporte? Obviously Dias will start.
Which two out of Walker, Zinchenko and Cancelo? I'd go with Walker and Zinchenko personally.
Rodri or Fernandinho? I'd assume Rodri.
De Bruyne, Mahrez and Gundogan are shoe-ins, but that leaves two more spaces for a combination of Sterling, Bernardo and Jesus.
Very interested to see how Pep sets up.

It’s probably what I would try if I were Pochettino.

it’s also probably why I’m not a manager.

Looks nice mate. Just on my way home work work and I'll be doing the same.

I don't know if it's the tankard, its contents or both, but that looks immense.

Think you forgot Foden Mars !!

 

[Damanino]

Huge game which can go either way. I am ok with a score draw for today. Away goals can end up being crucial, look at Bayern going out with 3-3. (Or us vs Spurs and Monaco.)

Foden is a shoe in too I'd say. So only one spot left.

Not just me then. I must be dehydrated now. Sorry I have a bad feeling about this tie. At least the away leg. I’m sore the cIty team have a lot more confidence than I do. We haven’t played a teM all year with likes of Mbappe, neymar, Marquinhos just to name a few. I will say we kept Kane and Haaland quiet recently. We will need to have a better conversion rate in this tie. We will hAve a load of chances. Need scoring boots on. I see plenty of goals and a lot more peeing

 

[metalblue]

Yes but so has Mbappe and he didn’t have Neymar next to him. If our defense is solid tonight and we put away our chances we will be okay but if either of those fail us then it will be a struggle.

So what you’re saying is if we score and stop them scoring we should be okay?

 

[sir baconface]

We need Mendy to counteract their speed and guile up front.

And Tits Out Jackie to pull off any slackers at half time.

 

[Hes the left back remember]

Might help with the nerves if you pass some time painting that fence

My missus who has a passing interest in football ( Sheffield Wednesday fan) has booked a tesco delivery for between 8 and 9 ffs. I'm expected to help out as they don't pack items in bags now and it's a pain in the arse. It will no doubt arrive bang on 8.
