Which Final will be Harder? | Poll Added

[lionheart]

The Rags because they will be playing on their home turf with much more local support.

I'd probably just give United the edge, given it's a derby. There's not much to choose from them on league form, although Inter have lost more games in a weaker league. Both of them have beat Barcelona, and Inter's route to the final wasn't exactly scary. If we play even 8/10 we will win both.

Their best win was probably Napoli - I'd have been much more nervous playing them. I don't like how confident I'm feeling for the UCL - doesn't feel natural.

United is 100% the tougher game but an average performance could see us cross the line.

Just 4 (2) more games for true legacy!

Milan played Napoli. Fuck knows how they knocked out Napoli. Inter played Porto, Benfica and Milan in the knock-outs. You can only play what's in front of you, of course, but the two sides of the draws were pretty amusingly lopsided: Milan, Inter, Napoli, Spurs, Brugge, Porto, Benfica, Frankfurt vs City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Bayern, PSG, Real, Leipzig, Dortmund.

I am confident of us winning the CL, but i'm not looking forward to the rag game.

Rag mates are saying they'll mess up our treble bid just like they did to the dippers in 1977!

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Not fearing either game. Why would we?

We’ll wallop the rags, have a week rest and then wallop Inter. That entire week I’ll wallop my liver.

Since when has the Etihad South been 'home turf' for the rags?

 

[Badensbluemoon]

For Rags, this game has a massive importance, their chance to stop our potential treble winning season. And not sure what would the effect of that loss on our team's moral/confidence. I think this is the trickier game, for sure

 

[RayCTID]

None of them. In terms of impartial officiating the Champions League seems the fairer competition

 

[tommybooth]

See Wigan!!!

I think people are significantly overplaying the motivation for United to to scupper our treble.

They will want to win the FA Cup (which is fair motivation in itself) but they aren’t United fans and won’t care all that much about what City do or don’t win elsewhere.

Footballers are generally pretty single minded and motivated by their own success rather than someone else’s lack of success.

 

[pavelsrnicek]

Two difficult games for different reasons. United will sit deep and counter, they have pace and good goal scoring threat. We know how they are likely to play so they’re at least a known quantity.

Inter will sit deep but also try to break up the game, slow the pace to a crawl. They won’t offer the same pace in attack but rely on moments and set pieces. Inter will definitely be a bit more of a mystery, we’ve never had a competitive match against them.

 

[kinky's boots]

Inter are 4th in a poor serie A .former city player 37 year old Edin Dzeko is their talisman . Rags are rags nothing else to add .

Do you think he's lost his pace? ;)

 

[crazyg]

Rags. I think Inter are a better side, honestly, but the heat of a derby, plus the jammy refereeing they get and the chance to "deny us the treble" could all add up. We're miles better than both sides though.

Is that a new word for corrupt?

Wanna bet?

 

[the blue panther]

Inter.
Yer-ni'ed at Wembley and half full with City fans? No contest.
We bring our "A" game; we wipe the floor with the fuckers.
Scum.

 

[Hung]

The bookies occasionally get it wrong, but not often. For the FA Cup, we are 2/5 on and the CL 2/7 on.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Inter will be harder.

We all know the rags will set up to counter on the break…predictable as fuck and pep will have all the answers…even to questions ten bob hasn’t asked.

Ah of course they did.. Napoli looks odds on for a final spot for me.

Yep, strange draw but I wouldn't have had it any other way - we beat the best!
