City gone 4-4-2 tonight! Attack attack attack. Am going for a 1-1 draw... Come on city!!

[Im_Spartacus]

So according to chuckle brother on talk site city fans can't relate to big games against the likes of Barcelona as we are still more in tune with games again Gillingham. WHAT A FUCKING CUNT

Kevin Keegan just said something similar right at the top of the BeIN preview show.

I just wonder whether these people have been involved with the champions league hype for so long, they don't understand that it's not that we don't get it, we just don't fucking like it. We don't need educating about why we should admire boring, wank group stage games which bore everyone to tears. We see it for what it is, hence why we don't fucking turn up

[blues2win]

Well this isn't a boring wank group game. It's fucking huge. No excuse not to get up for it.

[MilnersJaw]

4 man midfield with fernando. Guess this is going to be a write off.

How is the Ginger Pig's neutral assessment going?

[Ted Hughes]

Anyone got an example of us winning a big game with Aguero as lone striker then ?

Seeing as it's so obvious.

[HBlock Cripple]

Relatively neutral so far, weird.......

[Ted Hughes]

How is the Ginger Pig's neutral assessment going?

He was speaking & I had the sound on but I've just realised I blanked the whole thing. Heard him mention 'tough' but the rest...

said the 442 will either be genius or stupid so that he can say he was right if we lose..

Tactics are irrelevant, Ted, when the players start out like starstruck dazzleclowns.

[stevefromdonny]

come on city, make us city fans proud

[blues2win]

I won't forgive Dzeko or Aguero easily if they don't put in a real shift tonight. If they both don't we're fucked. These players always go on about wanting to play on the big CL nights. Let them show it now.

I wasn't listening either, Ted. Not that I'm spamming, obviously, but I was listening to my excellent new album, Spring, on my headphones. (£7.49 from Amazon and ITunes, etc.)

Ooh, proviso time from Ginger Pig. "Barca aren't as good as they used to be."

Win-win for him, then.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Love that we are being positive and the pre match talk is positive but I would have had Frank in instead of Edin. Here's hoping I am totally wrong.

[Cocacolajojo1]

Why do people have qualms with this formation and selection? Honest question, I don't see the problem. Is it the two strikers? Is it Jimmy? Is it Fernando (Hi Moonchesteri)?

[Cocacolajojo1]

Can I just say that I'm proud of the fans for booing the song? Stick it to the man!

[guv111]

Looking forward to Clive's roaring approval of City's every touch. You know, like he does with every English side... except one.

[iwasthere2012]

Aguero and Dzeko will need to work their assets off, if that line up is to work.

[guv111]

Decent start. I hope the only command from Pellers is... pass the fucking ball.

Oh, and SHOOT.

[guv111]

Hoping we don't lose like craven fools again, but if we do let it be like this - attacking them.
