Anyone thinking of turning before ko ? It will be a klopp love in now !

Yep, I doubt the game will get a mention pre match

City, please score one goal tonight to break that stadium hoodoo.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

There is no logical reason to think the past will repeat itself given they have a new manager with a completely different style of play but I am still prepared for Spurs to score from their first proper attack after 15 minutes.

 

[shemnel]

If anyone genuinely believes City won't score, again, there's plenty of money to be made on correct score betting to nil!

I'm surprised at how cold it is.
Dry with a cold wind.

You 2 Scottish blues have my total respect for following City all over. I'm lucky in that i only live 8 miles from our stadium but every game is an away game to you guys. Respect. Enjoy the game.

We'll score. Whether we'll win...

I'm feeling confident we'll beat them convincingly.

Cup games always a completely different vibe to league games aren't they so yeah, who knows. Them having no Son is a big help and I doubt Maddison will be fully fit and ready (much as him being back is a boost, dangerous) but you just never know. Will be open and flowing, though - looking forward to just seeing a good game.

Seriously I am stuck between 0-0 or 3-1 either way tonight. What is guaranteed is the love in that will be surrounding our game due to the best manager in the world leaving klanfield. Volume off for anyone watching on TV. CTID

Any idea what pubs are City friendly near the ground ?

 

[Chi-town blues]

Please city win this one for our friend at dippers as farewell.

 

[kaz7]

Would really like us to retain the cup but spuds away seems to be a big ask for us , shit draw

 

[eyalluvitt]

Back when our Scottish core was as strong as Edinburgh castle’s rock

 

[jimharri]

Surely, this game will be called off as a mark of respect for Herr Klopp, and those lovable scousers. It's the very least the FA can do. Indeed, they could go further and award this season's competition to the club where "this means more"™.

Will Haaland play? I want to see how good (or not) he is.

I’ve never been an ‘in the know’, but Alfie Haaland got on my train at Gatwick Airport this afternoon heading towards London. Gotta be a good sign..

 

[Agueroooooooooooo]

Yep, I doubt the game will get a mention pre match

That's the TV and radio schedule filled up for the next 6 months.
If they win 4 trophies it'll be bigger than the queen's funeral.

I always feel that you can't tell with forward players until you have seen them live.You don't fully get it with Kane until you have seen him live. Same was true of Henry, Rooney, Klinsmann, etc.

You must be blind then

Beckham has probably joined the queue already

Out of respect for Klopp.Anything less than a 7-0 win for City would be disrespectful towards him and his current club.
