Anyone think the red twats will nick a goal this afternoon?

Possible they have a history of dishonesty

 

[Vienna_70]

They playing a back 5?

It will probably be more like a back ten.

 

[Bay Area Blue 93]

weve gone for control today so we dont give them chance to counter

That's my read on Pep's selection choices as well. Best passers are in to prevent the transitions from happening in the first place.

It's time to don my going to the match kit. City scarf, Vinnie and Dunnie shirts and loud voice. I think my neighbours are at Wembley on the other side of the stadium to us. So I can yell and shout as much as I want & need. :-)

Probably the most zen I've felt about a derby in ages.

We're fucking awesome and the result of this game will not change that one bit. This is for one of the two trophies per season we've been averaging for 6-7 years. For them, this is like their Gettysburg.

Of course I want to win, but if we don't, I'll still go into the summer thinking this season has exceeded my expectations.

Agreed. I'll be gutted if we lose, but I can't see a season as disappointing when we win the league.

Casemiro has now decided he's injured if he's on the bench

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Rooney correct on certain rag players suddenly now fit for a final

 

[blueste41]

Casemiro was named on the bench, once he saw this he declared himself "injured" ;)

Ratboy said unlike the 99 rags, City‘s treble winners would fade etc well making it four in a row doesnt look like City fading to me, plus we already have the world and super pots this season. hence already done another treble. Yeah another cup to the collection would be nice but no big deal if we don’t.

Watching the rags warm up , they couldn’t trap a bag of cement. No wonder they resort to hoofing it long
