If you can't even pretend to have been at York away you're no one on this forum

Does going to York on a trainspotting jaunt count? Admittedly that was in the 1950s!!

I once posted Bony was a top signing!!

With regards this game, I am not even nervous.

A vastly superior team in every way and if we turn up, we win, it really is that simple.

More worried about the impact on Newcastle and Wolves games.

I think both are on the beach, Tolm. We have a particularly good record against Newcastle esp. at home and Wolves have been pretty dire the past few weeks

Fully expecting this from kick off, relentless pressing from madrid trying to force an error and snatch a goal, first 20 minutes so crucial.

What intimidating crowd? Chelsea took them apart for more than an hour and we won rather comfortably last time here

can’t sleep me. am an absolute wreck.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

here we go again. another cup final. every game a fucking cup final. i hate this period of the season, just want it to end and the summer to start. every game is so stressful

Why ? This is what football is about, for us these days.

 

[Mylak63]

Oh I do hope not.

Mahrez will start I am pretty sure

 

[buckshot]

The nerves have kicked in. I need to get to sleep tonight but it's going to be tricky, the last time I was this nervous was the FA Cup semi-final against the scum.

 

[whos_kompany85]

Christ.

COME ON CITY

Bad night sleep..the nerves have kicked in. Hope its a busy day at work or it's going to drag big time.

Let's hope it's a night to remember. Got a feeling we are going to have to do a portion of the game with 10 men

I couldn't think of a tactic that would play into our hands better. Their midfield has an average age of about 53 and don't have the energy to do it over 90 minutes, and they don't have the discipline to do that because they don't play like that every week. Rodri had one of his most comfortable games in the first leg, we'd play through them at ease. Their best bet would be to slow the game down, and try and find the pockets and moments where they punish us.

Slightly nervous, but confident if we our game we win, simple as that.

Hope walker is good enough to start!

Also, aren't some of the seats near the pitch out of action at their stadium this season as part of ongoing renovations?
