Real Madrid (H) - Tue 17th March, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[mosssideblue]

with you. Im more arsed about the final on Sunday. I'd pick the team that started against Newcastle for this. Most fluid we've looked in ages. Worst case scenario for me tonight is this going to extra time.

I’d be absolutely delighted if we can take it to extra time

 

[Dax777]

I'll tell you. What you wanna know?

If we are going for it or just sticking to the standard operating procedure :(

 

[Macca77macca]

At least they've brought the sunshine with them.

Is that it

See that the clubs PR team have gone in knee high on tonight, in terms of showcasing all the big games that weve turned around

Lets hope the players show similar fight on the pitch, as I think its the players that need to inspire the fans after recent performances

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Been in boozer since half one.

Lucky get. I’m going to finish soon and get on it

Got a really good feeling about tonight.

Some bookies give us a 25% chance to eliminate them, which seems high... Some are betting on City or Real have fresh injuries...

If we can't turn it around then this will very likely be Bernardos last ever game for us in the Champions League. So I expect he'll play like a man possessed tonight.

The lads are currently noshing a curry in town. Half of em are pissed.
Well be going for it deffo.

 

[Sky Blue]

Quite right. Club should be putting Victor Meldrew clips out at a time like this.

Don’t read the rest of his posts if you want to feel positive. I made the mistake of doing so.

Is it possible that a weakened side is put out by the whiney bastards, they take their lead for granted, we finally go into 5th gear, and we go to town on this lot? Perhaps...

They put their weakened side out last week against us.

Agreed, that seems unreasonably high. I'd go no higher than 15% (1 in 7). Would love to be proved wrong, mind.

 

[madloaf]

Got a funny feeling. Early goal, crowd are into it. We can fucking do this. Who's with me?

1894 welcoming team bus at stadium 6:30get down there!!

I'd never even seen this morons posts before, so that's another **** on the ignore list.

 

[jimharri]

I see it's down as a sell out; how many do we think will actually show up, given the poor position we're in. Then again, Mbappe is supposed to be playing (Bellingham not?), so that might encourage the day trippers to turn up. 50k, with the reduced capacity?

 

[jimharri]

Is that it

What a shambles.

I remember when most City fans would look forwards to a game with optimism & a feeling of excitement that whatever the circumstances the team would give it a good go & the fans would back them 100%. Why the doubt? Winning a game is hard enough without making it harder. Up the blues...keep the faith.

Noetic science is a theory that if the collective believe strongly enough about something it may tip the scales into it happening. I think at 93:20 against QPR the noetic science electrons from the City fans were attacking Aguero's head at lightspeed....& he hoovered them up.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I’d like to see stones back in the line up. I think he has to make changes either way.

The crowd can play a huge role. The team could help by scoring first and securing a lead in the 1st half.

Ideally, we'd be at least six two up by HT.
