Don’t know a lot about them as I don’t like Italian football but I will do some research and weigh up the situation . Having said that Our fantastic team can beat anyone even the bent officials .

Was going to start this tomorrow on the same day I did for the Fa Cup one last week.

We’ll lose now, class.

These are no mugs and we will not be taking this for granted. We are rightly the clear favourites and if we show up with the same mind-set as the 2nd leg of the chumps semi-final we will be sound. Play the game, not the occasion and impose our game on them. We had a dress rehearsal on Saturday- these will be better defensively but with less pace on the break

Watched both of their semi final games against AC and I wasn't overly impressed with them. We are the better team in every aspect. But its a final, and not being overly confident, arrogant or dismissive of Inter, i believe we will put in a performance and do it. But it won't be easy. If Inter were offered the opportunity for the game to go to penalties they would bite your hand off.
Really looking forward to it, massively jealous of those lucky enough to get tickets and travel. I hope whoever is going has a brilliant time.

Pep says Walker has a back problem. Was not good yesterday but a little better today.

It’s all too much for me, I’m a bloody nervous wreck and it’s Tuesday :lol: I’ve got my clothes out ready the same that I wore last Saturday, I’m not shaving until after the final.

What the fuck have City done to me?!

If we win I’d imagine I’ll be sleeping on the streets for the next week anyway. Mrs won’t let me back in the house permanently smashed

Pep Guardiola has admitted Manchester City must win the Champions League if they are to be considered a big club.

I wonder if Arsenal, Roma and Atletico Madrid fans are annoyed he’s just said they’re not big clubs.

Got to respect any team that make it to a CL final, especially how the ‘istree clubs are ref’d. The plan must be to play against 12 and a contingent on a possible 16.

We need to be ready and take the game away from the cartel.

I've just had a look through their squad and there's only 6 names I recognise.

I wonder if Edin and Lukaku will both play up front? That's a tall double threat.

Probably won't happen but it'd be Big Sam's wet dream.

They seem to play the same way. Very safe but get the ball wide for the big man in the middle or long over the top. Pep now counters for that but there’s always the risk that they get through, and that’s the nature of football.

They will fight like hell, why wouldn’t they, but it’s up to us to take the game.

Not about them, this one should be all about us.

Its pretty much a simple old style approach.
Sit deep, work hard off the ball, win it back whack it up to the big lad who knocks it down to the little lad.
Sometimes it works.

Just watching two sips vlog and he's talking to Jack Collins who watches Italian football. He asked him who's Premier league league footballing style do Inter compare to?

"A better version of Brentford"

Time to put that ghost to bed i think.
