Real Madrid (A) CL Semi Final 2nd Leg - Wed 4th May, 20:00 (BST) | Pre-Match Thread

[Eccles Blue]

THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND, IN ALL THE WORLD!! Remember that at all times. We, City fans, never give in either. We fight to the end with our support. :-)

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

I’m the same …it’s fucking horrible pal. If we were battling Chelsea for the title and if it was just a straight forward semi final against Madrid with Villareal or whoever waiting in the final then I’d revel in the importance of each league game and be happy that we’re part of such a prestigious CL occasion.

But the fear of those horrible scouse cunts winning anything / everything fills me with such dread that no game or occasion can be enjoyed as it should be

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Obvs want us top win but it feels like we're done tbh. I cant stand lfc winning everything and realistically we're the only ones that can stop them and their media taking over. Cmooooon Blues!

 

[Rammy Blue]

Nah, we were too gung ho at times in the 1st leg, we need more control & hopefully Gundo will help us get that

Gundo starts I’m leaving the pub.

I absolutely can't wait for the game tonight. This is exactly what we have dreamed of for all these years. If we go on to win tonight , we will hammer the scousers in a champions league final with our amazing team. Come on Citeh!

Just go to the pub early a few beers will calm the nerves, I’m aiming for 2:00 a few of the lads are starting at 12:00 but I’m not an animal :-)

In the last 37 games we have lost………… 3

I absolutely love this time of year. I always enjoyed watching the best teams fighting to win all the trophies when we were crap. I always wanted City to aspire to be up there but it never seemed possible. But now its happening....every year. To me its a City fans dream come true. How any fan cannot want their club to be involved at the top of their profession is bizzare...but thats their point of view. Personally i love it. Hate losing but as a kid i was taught to be a good loser. Accept it and go again.

Thats what I cant fathom out.

Being stressed about the game is one thing but to wanting it to end & waiting for the summer is completely different.
Why wouldn't you want to be involved in the buisness end of the season.
Do some fans expect us to go out and win by 4 or 5 goals every week, football doesn't work like that. This is certainly more interesting than being like utd and just playing the season out with nothing to play for.

Each to their own, there's no need to make an argument about it.

Isn't this the right place for an argument? I've told you once...

This game tonight is the proper final between Kings of England and the newly crowned Kings of Spain.
Last nights game was a paupers final between winners of the Europa and a team that finished below UShited in the league
Champions league should be the name of the game

We'll win tonight and we'll beat the dippers in the final. They're not the same side they were early in the season and we could have easily beaten them on both league games. We almost catched them in the cup without any effort. This is our season. Support the lads and the double soon come.

I'm feeling so low about the dippers seemingly unstoppable juggernaut that I've liked this for luck.

 

[foggy1974]

A bit harsh that Foggy. I'm sure @samuelyeboah isn't the only one who feels like that.

Lots of fans of clubs don't enjoy the business end of the season, whether it's winning trophies or avoiding relegation. Personally, after all these years following City, I don't get remotely bothered by it. What will be will be.

Each to their own, there's no need to make an argument about it.

I just find it rather strange that you would want the season to end, whats the point of watching footie if its not to be involved in these type of games. I'd love to be out in Madrid right now if I could afford it.

 

[foggy1974]

Isn't this the right place for an argument? I've told you once...

Is this the 5 minute arguement

 

[Chak19]

We conceded 3 goals because we didn't control the midfield
Ilkay is the key to control the pitch

We started Ilkay against Atletico in Madrid and he gave us no control at all, even against Leeds in the first half we had no control, he hasn't been at his best.

I've liked yours for luck so that's double luck. We can't fail now, it's a rule.

Aahh. So now we're getting to the point. Well....Manchester won when our forefathers built the ship canal, so Manchester can win again, when in 4 Premier league games and 2 Champions league games, the mighty Manchester City faithfull can triumph over the docking overpricing, great pretenders. Its time for the blue moon to rise and extinguish the red cinders.

 

[Cobwebcat]

If we get through tonight we will have the mood to win the PL

If we win the PL we will have the mood to win the CL

If I believe the above tonight is everything

Thats a bit scary

The only good things about the summer is sunshine, nature, ice creams and attractive women wearing shorts. Hate cricket. 5 days for a game that finishes in a draw. Tennis is fine. Pre season is good too.

Man City is the stinger that will make that juggernaut stoppable.
