Be nice to see Isco back at the club. Never put a foot wrong for us and never a peep out of him whilst he was here. Model pro.

Prize money if we win today: €2.8m
Prize money if we draw today: €0.9m
Prize money if we lose today: €0

For all the talk about it not mattering for the competition, financially it does matter (a lot).

Given next game is home to fulham, I fully expect a strong team.

You were doing alright up until then, but that's just taking the piss.

I watched the last episode, series one of Ted Lasso last night and it had us actually scoring a well taken penalty, made me realise it wasn’t real life.

Price money for fielding ex city players: priceless

Prize money lost due to unnecesary injury or tiredness later in season ????

That's why the more fringe / academy players playing the better. They will play to impress.

Every time we think Pep is going play loads of fringe and academy players, he surprises us, at least in the CL. I reckon the most we'll see is Ortega and maybe Lewis, with everyone else being regular starters

So Mahrez’s 2 penalty misses cost us £3.8m.

Should be entertaining and interesting.

Hoping the matchday thread doesnt get infected by moaners and whiners tonight, it's a dead rubber after all!

If we were blaming individuals maybe, but that would be daft.

I see you had 2 replies already - not read them but betting they say something along the lines of.
"Financially it does matter (a lot)" - no it really doesn't. What matters currently is giving players maximum recovery time in a season that's unnecessarily complicated thanks to FIFA
