Nice for the nervous flyers amongst the team and coaching staff. Safe journey to one and all.

I just checked the flight tracker (which I still have from all the summer transfer saga…). They landed.

We'll all be kicking off as Rodders dictates a standard win.

I see Dsquared have gone for the "posh boarding school uniform" look for our lads this time.

I personally think its gong to be a tough one tonight. The squad are under pressure to get the result but we don't have the magicians we need.

I hope the poster above is right though that pep won't allow three losses on the bounce.

If we don't get the result there will be some giddy headlines the next day, with not a single one of them mentioning the amount of key injuries we have.

Cmon blues.

Just got in from walking the dog, how did we get on?

Finished 0-0, very quiet game, strange atmosphere.

Dick Vein kit debut?

pervert

Dick Vein kit debut?

that would make sense, but according to their website leipzig will go with their third kit tonight and that’s blue, so i guess city will use the away kit.

 

[may2011]

Got 2 spare tickets for tonight if anyone is requiring

 

[vanchi]

city’s social media content is meh… leipzig’s media team wins :D
my finger predicted 0:1 for city, it also predicted 6:0 for the manchester game.

marco rose said they’re looking forward to seeing joško again because he’s a great player and a great person.
it seems that they’re also preparing a farewell ceremony of some sort for him cause fans didn’t get to say goodbye.

It’ll be piss easy tonight. Even though we miss the target inside the box about nine times a game, we’d smash a few in tonight with no opposition there.

There are some arrogant ponces on here sometimes. Personally I would be delighted with a 0-0 and no injuries or red cards. My concern is that every opponent will now target Rodri for his temper.

He was replying to a post that thought the game was last night, calm it down.

Looking forward to tonight's game, group stage is usually a bit dull and we've got an easy group in all honesty. Tonight is our most difficult game and I'm sure Pep will be happy to come away with a point. But it's a chance to find a bit of form and confidence ahead of the Arsenal game so hopefully we can get a win. They had a good draw with Bayern at the weekend, but they're definitely weaker than they were last season.

Would be nice to keep a clean sheet too.

Dick Vein kit debut?

Is he a Dutch lad from the academy?

Not in the least worried about Rodri's temper. I worry about the stupid referees like Taylor who chose to ignore the kick on the ankle then the shove in the back that preceeded the red card.

Can you imagine the VAR on that.

• Ref - How did you view the incident?
• VAR - Forest player kicked City player and pushed him in the back
• Ref - But did the City player strangle the Forest lad?
• VAR - They both faced off angrily
• Ref - But did the City player strangle the Forest lad?
• VAR - Barely touched him and he fell over as if been shot by a sniper
• Ref - No reason to change my decision then?
• VAR - No fuck the Blue ****, send him on his way

Because of one occasion where he lost it? The boy is extremely well educated, appears to be a genuinely nice guy and will undoubtedly learn from his mistake. Every one of us makes mistakes, the key is to learn from it and I’m sure he will.
I share your wishes for the game, don’t get beat and no injuries or red cards.
Come on you blue boys.
