The home fans are super confident for this one, but after the midweek game I am not so sure we wont make a game of it. Still, its nice to have a relaxed sunny Sunday on the last day of the season no matter what the outcome. I am already stressed about next weekend, so I am going to enjoy today.
COME ON CITY!!!

And the rest…
They are likely to play a second string (obviously will still be pretty decent) I would have thought, so no need for 3 at the back. let’s go at them from the start and nick 7th.
I hope Pep plays his strongest 11. I don’t want them to come up with any excuses when we beat them and do the double over them.
If we beat them and get European football for next season I couldn’t care less whether it’s their strongest 11 or Under 18s
It could be the single time that we do the double over the treble winners.
There is no weak City XI just ones slightly shorter of the strongest team in the world. If we win it’ll be against the one manager who’s pretty much a BS free zone who’ll not blame the match schedule or minimise our achievement. Doing that would make excuses and I think they’ve got where they are by not excusing themselves for their own failures.
The narrative on their match day forum that we are a physical side is highly amusing.....mainly because it's utter bollox.
May 2008 Middlesbrough beat City 8-1. I think we can do better. 9-1.
Never post predictions but this is a game i genuinly think we will win…3 - 1 bees.
If we manage to kick off at 3:00 I reckon we could get an early goal......
Motivation for Europa Conference a big factor so we could very well win but for the same reason, either Villa or Spurs likely to win. On the other hand, City won't want to suffer only double of their season.
