I'm gonna buy shares in Kleenex I can't lose...

better than a loss I'd wager Beefy!

Looking forward to it then Dronny ;-)

Can you imagine us beating the Scum in the Semi and then losing to Stoke in the Final due to a Delap Throwin? :)

If that happens then John68 will have his work cut out to convince us that Typical City doesn't exist :)

I was thinking more of the global PR impact, and, the impact on our closet/sleeping fanbase. There will be millions all over the world watching this game and a win for City could be a huge statement and be a big help in bringing in more fans (locally and globally). Or will it be just another day at the office?

I think you are right,it will go towards increasing our fanbase and if it is because people around the world can find it easier to link themselves with winners it is, for me no way detremental that we have attracted glory hunters.I long for the day we can.

It will be a goal from a set play that we should aspire to and that teams like Barca should aim to excel at,so if we lose to Stoke like that then surely we should be to busy standing back admirring their set play skill to have any ill feeling towards them.

ESPN show the FA across the world - City is already Global - I can say that in every country in Central and South America Fox sports,ESPN 1 2 show Man City Live every week...every game.

We now need to start winning to expand our Fan Base and the FA will do just nicely.

I wonder what Tactics Bob will play against the Scum.

I'm hoping for more of our away game-play than our home game against them. This is a chance to shine.

Im thinking the Semi-Final is 5 weeks away so we need to put that to bed for a while and concentrate on other stuff first.

To borrow a quote from elsewhere, we still have other tits to run up the flagpole to see if anyone gets wood, starting with Kiev followed by 3 other Prem games.

A cup final place.

Lets talk Europe.

We aren't playing Chelsea you dumb bastid.

A large amount of alcohol will impact my stomach and thereafter I will impact the floor.

In 68 we beat them 3-1 at the swamp and went on to win the league title.
They won the European Cup which is all the global masses remember. They're favourites for the title this time, so it's just possible they will outshadow us again even if we win
wouldn't do any harm though

I'll play the game with you Beefers...In the big picture...For us, we have little to lose, yet so much to gain.

Most of the World will see the rags sat at the top of the league, look at their recent history and expect the rags to win. They will probably see us a much improved side, expect us to give it a good go but we will be the underdogs.

If we lose, they will judge that nothing has changed and that the rags remain top dogs whilst City remain as challengers who haven't yet reached their standard. In that respect, nothing will have changed and the World will continue as normal. The rags will have a laugh and another reason to take the piss, whilst we will yet again have to suffer it and swallow our pride. But in reality, NOWT will have changed. The rags will still be considered top dogs and we will still be behind them as challengers. In that respect, we have very little to lose.

If we win, it could open up a new World for us and it is a massive opportunity for us to make a huge statement on the big stage, with the World and his dog watching. Much of the impact of a City win will depend on how well we win and it will also depend on whether we can go on and bag the cup in the final...and whether the rags then go on to win the League and have their trophy trump ours.

Locally, a City win will be as big as it gets...at least until we have another opportunity to assert our hegemony over them. It will give us the chance to ram a few years of taunting back down their throats, force them to remove the banner and allow us to stamp all over their arrogance...I for one can't wait.
BUT...if we do win, it will only be a temporary aberation to the World order, unless we subsequently go on to win the Cup and then continue our dominance over them in a more permanent way, as we did in the 60s/70s.

SO MUCH TO GAIN...SO LITTLE TO LOSE....CUMMON YOOOO BLOOOOZ.

Thanks for that John, just what I wanted to hear. I'd like to think a win would also bring a few of the older stay-aways back into the fold, and a shit load of newbies that want to see the Future in Blue, not another lost generation.

PS. You're turning into a bit of a poet you know
