Anyone else bricking it

No, I think we're going to spank them.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Should be standard protocol. Oh and anyone selling them should be hung, drawn and quartered.

The new breed.....glory hunters/fanboys.....will jump ship without hesitation.

The forum has a few.

I m expecting a tight 15 mins to begin then a flourish of goals. Erling best put them to the hammer....

 

[burning blue soul]

I was just sat in the park and got splattered with bird poo .Is this a good sign?

No, you've just been shit on!

You rested your whole team at the weekend !

Fortunately/Unfortunately we were out of the race for Liga about 10 games ago. However this week we guaranteed 4th place so that's a relief. One more victory (out of 4 games left) and we guarantee 3rd place.

Fatigue? You play ten hard games a season that’s why you always have it in the tank in the final stages of this competition

Not entirely true. To match Barca you have to have immense consistency over 38 games and La Liga is not that far behind PL in difficulty. This year Barca should finish with over 90 points.

Ofcourse it’s going to be tight. It’s a CL semi fck final. But we are at home. Especially this season in big games we seem unstoppable. And the fans seem more loud than normal. Even if we trail. We’ve seen it before again and again.

Let’s make this a special night. For the full 90plus minutes. The players are up to it. Pep and his staff is. The fans wherever they are will be.

!! WE ARE CITY !!

 

[Dogtanian]

Starting to shit it now

 

[MCFC1993]

Because they’re not City fans, they are just football fans going to a big game because our club let neutrals sign up and immediately get tickets for it.

Oh I agree, City have definitely brought it on themselves with the criteria.

Sick to death of seeing a sea of half and half scarves in the home end for every big game.

Don't know whether it's a City Matters issue to bring up but they need banning from the ground.

Worst case scenario 'fans' can buy them after the game as a memento.

Just saw a sign saying delays on Alan Turing Way tonight. Not sure if that is a regular thing or not.

It's certainly an enigma.

It is our night, and it would be a shame to leave it to them to enjoy at our expense. We were the better team last year in both games; this year, we were overall the better team in the first leg. If we play to our standards and quality, we can comfortably win. We need to play smart, maintain our mental focus, and play in an organised, offensive manner without wasting the opportunities that will be available to score. At the same time, we have to deal with their counter-attacks through an organised collaborative defensive system.
