*****Official 5 star match thread MCFC v Dortmund*****

[Feed The Goat]

Today is match day and I couldn't remember how many stars we needed.

I'm up early and working so I can make the game tonight. It should be a good game and we need to get 3 points so should go out and attack which will most probably keep roger happy.

Anyway I'm going for a city win in a close game which will set us up nicely for Ajax

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Mr Optimistic as always.

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Blindly optimistic at that.

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Look at you starting official match threads and lashing stars round nilly willy.
We need to attack and win, so I'll go for an ultra cautious set up from Bob, with me being apoplectic by half time.

[Feed The Goat]

I've told you to have a little faith like me. We can do it and we can get out the group

[kinkylola]

we will put on an attacking masterclass, with silva orchestrating the whole shebang.

2 goals for dzeko, 1 for mario and 1 for kompany. 4-0. All 4 assists from silva.

[Slim]

I've told you to have a little faith like me. We can do it and we can get out the group

Fuck getting out of the group, we can WIN this group.

[Hazy2]

Lokiing forward to this, speaking with City, They are expecting a poor turn out.

I've told you to have a little faith like me. We can do it and we can get out the group

Fuck getting out of the group, we can WIN this group.

This - and unlike Bollo - I gotta GOOD feelin' about this...

[london blue 2]

Hope we get a nice early goal to settle any nerves

[Fesan]

Cant take another villareal or qpr game, please let us be 3-0 up by halftime:-)

[Green & Blue]

I'm expecting a hardly fought contest but hope that home advantage counts.

As previoulsy said an early goal would be an ideal start to settle the nerves.

[bluechester]

can see us winning by 2 0 or 3 0, think we might just be about to hit some form, with merlin looking good again, also think we might have a clean sheat due to the fact we are due one ha ha

[Moonchesteri]

We need to score at least two today if we want to win so hope our strikers have their scoring boots on.

[brite blu sky]

Got a completely irrational sense that we are going to make the CL thing difficult for ourselves again. Just think we are gonna get stung tonight and need 3 wins to claw back any chance - which I think we will go on to do in the end.

Can't explain it but feel like the team and Mancini are looking for a kick up the arse and are going to get it.

[kennyboy]

This won't come easy.
I figure a draw. 0-0.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

A draw leaves us with a slight chance but a defeat and I think it's all over again.I do have a bad feeling that Ajax will be like Villareal and get nil points.That means we could go out on 10 points again based on our games v Dortmund.

Of course we could win the last 4 games but I wouldn't put any money on it.Tonight is mega game against a very good side and it's a game where a clean sheet is the order of the day. One nil would be a great score with a late goal from a Kolarov free kick would be nice.

[Sideshow Bob]

can someone remind me about tie breakers at the group stage? GD? head-to-head?

Indeed.

"The fact is that the Bundesliga has caught up considerably, thanks to their sound banking practices. This will eventually be expressed by results."

Yes, I can see that Bayern's great result last night was a sign of things to come.

Perhaps our fellow Blues in Germany could tell us whether he is as vehement about Wolfsburg or any other clubs in Germany who have got "close relationships" with their owners.
