There’s something wrong if we can’t score a good few against a team that has Savic in defence.

[blues2win]

Yes. Hard to see what they see in Savic.

[PeterParker]

To be honest, Savic progressed since his days here. Wouldn't mind have him today in the squad, nice back-up.

AM have done well recently, winning 6 on the trot, which looks very good until you see who they actually played. They beat United 2-1 on aggregate and in previous years you would say that it would have been a very good result but, in this era, not so much when you consider we beat them 6-1 on aggregate. They are good, Champions prove that, and it will be a really difficult game with their tactics, but I reckon we’ve got more than enough to beat them.

Quietly confident over 2 legs, would not get arrogant though as their are factors outside our control.

They just a long interview with Wiekens on Dutch telly with footage from the play-off final. Wiekens is a sound lad. Still says "we" when he talks about City.

[brite blu sky]

Yes. Hard to see what they see in Savic.

by all accounts they rate him a lot.

[blues2win]

City warming up at least with Cancelo Stones Laporte and Ake at LB.

[brite blu sky]

Right gonna be a tough game i would think, i'm gonna try and enjoy it

I snook into the ground and changing rooms after we played Bury in a friendly and Wiekens gave me his towel and had a decent chat about City with me. Must have been around 2002

This won't be pretty.
Massive bus parking lessons coming up.
This cunt makes Maureen's shite look positive.

COME ON CITY

[Bluemoon4610]

I imagine Stones will play with Laporte and Ake will play LB. Obviously it would have been better if Walker was available but he’s not.

That's how I see it. Decent enough line up, considering the matches wa have

Lot of sneaky fouls and time wasting tricks too

Pulled out the Warsteiner again for this one. Worked at weekend, hopefully just as comprehensive.
