It'll be a great game, a great challenge and a great trip for the fans who are making the journey. What you moaning about? Would you rather play against a bunch of fucking nobodies?

Yes, I would have preferred to get some UEFA points under our belt before facing the possibility of crashing out.

Porto finished 3rd in Champions League (the group that Apoel won).
Roberto Mancini was the man who brought us our first trophy in 35 years. He was the man that brought us our first league title in 44 years. He brought us one of the greatest moments of our lives. He masterminded a 6-1 win at Old Trafford, and a Wembley win over United. He challenged Ferguson, he argued with him on the touchline, he brought success, and he punched the air in delight with the rest of us at the madness of it all. He had style, panache and a winning smile.All those memories he gave us will never be forgotten, in a wonderful period in this club’s long history.
And I swear, we’ll never see anything like it again.

2nd legs at home for both ties, quite a bonus. An no long trips to Russia - all we could have asked for.

As I don't follow European football that closely and I know some of you do...is anyone going to give their opinions on the present form of Porto since AVB left them? Just how good/bad are they? How easy/hard is this tie likely to be?
I KNOW THAT YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU THINK I WROTE, BUT I AM NOT SURE YOU REALISE THAT WHAT YOU READ IS NOT WHAT I MEANT

Well they finished 3rd in the Apoel CL group so they can't be that impressive
They do have 80mil+ buyout clause Hulk though ;-)

Cheers Gents. Not sure how I feel about this comp. I want City to win every game and every trophy but not at the expense of the League, FA Cup and now we're so close, the Carling Cup. I knew where I had the CL in my priority order but still undecided about this trophy.
1...Prem
2...FA Cup
3...Carling Cup (now that we are in the semi)
I could happily place the Europa League anywhere from 2 to 4.
