Real Madrid (A) - Tue 9th May, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[SebastianBlue]

This is when I understand, among few other factors, players wages. I am shit stressed at home now, and for about 20 minutes I would mentally explode;D I mean, pressure is so so massive, that even the most experienced do not have it very easy.

If we sustain our recent form I am sure we are better and in the worst case scenario it will be a close result. At best, man, one can dream... battering Real Madrid in full confidence is always eternal.

At this level, save players like Haaland and KDB, players are generally at similar levels when it comes to fitness, physique, talent, and technical ability.

What sets the good players and truly great players apart is their mentality and work ethic.

Work ethic can be improved with enough effort, but mentality is often something that can only change over a long time (so is very difficult improve during a player’s senior career).

That means much of the “value” of the world class players sits in the 6 inches between their ears.

And we’ve assembled a squad full of players with elite mentalities.

I keep thinking of playing the U12's for the FA cup because I don't want to risk them injuring our players if we have a game left.

They've to get close to us to manage that.

 

[bluemoon32]

Should I have pre match wank to settle the nerves or a post match wank to celebrate. It's never easy

Both, unless you are a FOC & then its just do it between now and Christmas

 

[yeah whatever !!]

And one at half time just in case.

Lescott’s weekly mention of ‘Sir Alex’.

I avoid BT's coverage like the plague. Utterly dreadful.

 

[N1985]

Fucking Come On City!

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Harrrrland - I’m from Penzance

I should have figured it out from your username…

 

[Sky Blue]

Harrrrland - I’m from Penzance

Arrr matey. I’m not but Oakie might be.

 

[sir baconface]

Edit.......the utterly pointless and totally accommodating Lescott has been drafted in again.

Yeah definitely…

 

[Deleted member 13905]

So that's....

Ederson
Stones, Dias, Akanji
Walker, Rodri, Gundogan, Bernardo
De Bruyne, Grealish
Haaland

I like.

you'll catch a few with that.
great fishing.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

I am saving my nerves for the 2nd leg. Unless we get beat 4 or 5-0 I am not panicking, I think.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Come on City, go out there and play with the personality and balls that we know you do more often than not.

Big occasion but let’s play the game in front of us.

Total faith in this team, come on blue boys!!!!

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

That's what I was thinking. Could be Shakira tho.

The other Dare is Tommy Saxondale's favourite 80's band from Oldham;

Correct!

It’s crossed my mind too!

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

im calling it…If we get a pen it will be Harland to take it

He's a triple A, mate.

 

[hilts]

I think we will more than likely play a back 4 tonight and the old formation.

Not so sure with akanji there but who knows with pep

 

[wolviedinho]

Not another coronation?

Hahaha

 

[gill_undrhill]

I have had a pretty crap year for various reasons, health issues/family concerns etc. but throughout it all MCFC have kept me going.

I don't care about the money thing - you can't buy success and our record in this trophy proves that. I supported Man City when all my mates were for other local teams and I always knew one day it would pay off (and for about the last ten years it has!)

But I would love it, love it, if we could finally get this one done and dusted - very nervous right now.

C'mon City - please don't fcuk it up.

 

[Barcon]

I avoid BT's coverage like the plague. Utterly dreadful.

I just asked my mate which channel it was on because we don't get any pre game stuff.
I put B.T on and instantly regretted it. A pair of cunts and another **** waffling about Peps failings.
Fuck this, I'm watching som porn for 30 mins.
