Don't post much on here these days but the week ahead for MCFC is truly huge for us . Fulham away , Cardiff at home then the FA Cup semi final at Wembley ........ massive ! Come on you blues ! CTID !

Massive month, mate. I think we play 2 games a week right through April and it's whether we can pace ourselves through the games and turn it on just when needed.

We've been here before, like other clubs have, but not been able to manage it. Being in all competitions at this point is going to be hard but if any team, in any era, who I think could do it, it's this one, with Pep.

One game at a time and see how each player comes through. The return of a few of our most influential players will be a god send.

And, what you mean that you don't post much on here, you posted days before this one?

Probably because I've not been around, such a calming figure

Spot on. From now until the end of the season. It's gonna be a strain on my wallet, the missus will definitely question my expenditure, but by God isn't it sweet being in 4 competitions with a positive Beefy getting us geed up for the run in! Gonna try not to get too wound up with my once again delusional Olespunkfest United mates and the ominous Dipper-tastic post-Brexit horizon apparently looming. Twice a week we get to see our lot, and I cannot wait!!

Bernie and co to turn the screw and bring us hopefully at least one more big pot! Key players coming back and stellar form from players like Sterling will be critical. Bring it on!



P.S. Wtf? You do post quite often (look at my paltry contribution ffs), the forum isn't so fast these days!!

Scouse have just one league game less than us to play and a cup semi final before the end of the League season. They also have less squad depth and can't afford even one slip up in the League or it could well be gone.
Add in that at the start of May they will probably either be getting a chasing two midweeks in a row by Barca, or kicking lumps out of each other with the filth.
It doesn't look to grim. Come on Blues.

Indeed, will your liver hold out? and can liverpool hold out? One has to give ....

I think it's the latter. Scouse2 are under pressure .

All big weeks now hopefully through to June. One game at a time get it done early and rest up. Off to Piccadilly for the 0755 to euston for one of the better London away day jaunts now

he’s struggling to come to terms with not being made a legend.

I hope we learned from last April when we fucked up big time.

This month will be huge because we will have a lot of decisions that might go against us, same as it did last april, but I hope we learned our lesson and we will handle this smart.

I have faith that Pep is going to make this month one to remember in a good way.

I think if we win today and the murderers lose...the title will be ours.

Cant wait for Wednesday night at the Etihad after today , absolutely buzzing and momentum is with us .

Tad early for that. But I get your point and the dippers will be no doubt shitting themselves tomorrow, especially if Spuds score first.

Is our match during the week our game in hand?

The first one. We then get another as we have the cup semi next week whilst the dippers have a PL game at Southampton

Cheers mate

I’ve had for months now this weird feeling of not letting myself get too excited. I just know the first time I let myself believe we’ll exit a comp. I should be buzzing but I’m nervous as hell

I believe, Southampton, will win that one.

This is going to be a physically and mentally shattering month for players and fans I'm thinking that the next 5 round of league games will decide whether we win or lose the league. We could really do with the Scousers dropping some points in their next three games or we'd need something like 7 out of 8 wins (assuming we progress in both cups) to be ahead of them going into the final two games of the season. Big ask, but if there's one team that can do it then it's this one.

If De Bruyne/Silva could find proper form we do this.

3 Apr Cardiff (h)
6 Apr Brighton (n) – FA Cup
Saw bits of the Brighton game today and they looked pap, I'm guessing they were saving themselves for next weekend. Their players and fans will be well up for it, I don't expect a stroll in the park.
9 Apr Tottenham (a) – CL
Tottenham at their new stadium and all that surrounds it + the fact it's the champs league and we'll be playing against the officals, I could see us lose here, but hopefully make it up in the 2nd leg.

Problem is Silva AND KDB should not be in the starting line up - shadow of the players that they were last season.

Today we were fucking diabolical in front of goal , Silva does what he annoyingly ALWAYS does in or around the Pen area..he fucks around trying to pass the ball into the net and KDB is half a yard slow.

They both need to really up their performances as I cannot see PeP dropping either of them.....which he should do.

I'm sure he doesn't give a fuck, mate, I worked out that it's only the old fuckers who get it. There's no real bonuses to it unless you like the strip girls and champagne breakfasts, maybe preferential treatment in the backrooms, but, apart from that it's all about the content
