Cl pre match thread

[Blackadder]

Have faith mfuckrs, we will beat Real in their own backyard. I'm not saying that the home leg will be without drama, but through we shall go.

[aaron bond]

No idea what time we will put out.

I wish Fern was playing in centre midfield for this, but it looks unlikely.

I hope Sterling is not put straight back into the side.

Regardless of the line-up, I expect all the players to be up for this. We're due a big performance in the CL knockout stages and Real Madrid is a great place to do it.

[Dimples]

UEFA's favorite team Vs. their most hated team.
When we played Liverpool in the CL (H&A) the cheating was blatant - UEFA did not care.
They will be worse now and will want us eliminated immediately.

We have no hope.

PSG V Barca how bad can it be. I mean that was blatant as it gets.

I said the same thing this morning to my wife. Not even sure it's worth a visit to the pub to watch us be cheated again.

[Sideshow Bob]

100% pep will throw sterling straight back in and 100% sterling will sh1t himself in front of goal, which will ultimately cost us the tie.

[sheblue]

It's not a real game.

[brite blu sky]

Ok so there is no denying that we are playing The Cartel tonight and it is likely to be a shambles and a very painful watch for us all.

HOWEVER we should all try to use this as an opportunity. hear me out.

Sometimes the most powerful way to attack is just to ask a simple question.

There will be a lot of other neutral fans watching this game tonight, and if as we suspect the cheating is blatant then a high % of those fans will see it plain as day.
So we should all watch it - for the simple purpose of then flooding whatever forums we can with a very simple question.

DID YOU SEE THE BLATANT CHEATING TONIGHT BY UEFA AND DO YOU THINK THAT IS ACCEPTABLE IN FOOTBALL?

outside the usual suspects this would get ordinary fans thinking and focussing on what this is all doing to football.

I hope one day someone manages to hack/spy on the VAR room and get proof of cheating by the officials.

I reckon one day that will happen - that evidence will be worth millions.

Billions Carl, cheating is rife ask a PSG fan what happened to them in Barcelona that night.

This was a paragraph from my local paper in France 2017.

Just as Barcelona are a brilliant team, who revolutionised football to an extent, and Suárez is a wonderful player, this should not provide an excuse for selective blindness. Unfortunately it does, amid the race to proclaim Wednesday evening as worthy of a public holiday. There is almost the sense that the Champions League needs Barça’s, Bayern, Juve and the other cartel members involvement, regardless of the means by which that transpires.

Just a few things pissing me off lately -: Pep blowing smoke up the arses of the Real’s off this world saying they have all the history and experience, whilst little city are new to this level For fucks sake we have been in this competition for about eight years running, how long does it take?
Then there is the team selection, it is widely agreed a consistent team selection is conducive to good performances and players knowing what they are doing! The reverse has the reverse effect sadly that is one reason for our lack of consistency this season. Fuck only knows what clusterfuck of a selection will happen tonight.
The press and their anti City vitriol is now a such a level I have stopped reading the sports pages.
The media declaring fifth place is now a champions league place, totally ignoring the appeals process.
That’s about it for now, happy days eh

I'm sick and tired of hearing any prick, let alone Baldie , go on about our so called lack of history when we were founded in 1880, nearly 20 years before his beloved Barcelona was founded.

I don't need to go on about our levels of success since then but he should just shut the fuck up when it comes to mentioning our teams so called lack of history !!!

Makes my piss boil it does.

[sheblue]

Even IF it was a level playing field (which it will not be) we would need to our best performance of the season to get a result.
However I just cant be bothered, I just feel horrible about this game, not excited at all. The whole occasion is already ruined by all the ban, and the inevitable cheating fest that will unfold over the coming 2 legs.

With you on this however, the only thing that the red shit and dippers have over us is the chumps league. Its been apparent for some time that they have been working behind the scenes with a number of others in the cartel to fuck us over and cheat us out of this corrupt fucking competition. Pisses me the fuck off, but we have to win the thing.
Am now looking forward to tonight to see just how badly UEFA want to fuck us over and whether the boys turn up and allow it

[Hazy2]

The timing of the CAS appeal might suggest we are getting a grip. As for CL history we have to win it to bin the negativity. As for the calling out of our manager, lets concentrate on the real enemy.

It annoys the fuck out of me when rags, dippers, the media et al use the term "history" when they actually mean "success". The dippers can just about get away with the excuse that they're sub-human and don't speak the same English as the rest of us......

I wish someone would explain that fact to Pep so that the cunt understands the difference between history and success.

I'd love it to happen but fear it will be all bvrushed under the carpet.

Actually looking forward to some SCANDALOUS decisions tonight ina weird way, because the world will be watching.

That's why I think tonight the refs and VAR will be on strict instructions to be absolutely straight tonight for that reason alone, and in a way that will disappoint me.We really needed the fairness against the Victims and Spuzz, when we had a team capable of winning the thing.

[gmercer1]

Please not Gundo and Rodri together!

Also watch for the biggest cheating performance from the officials ever.

You may be right about the instructions tonight. I'm not convinced that UEFA just believe they can just get away with it, however blatant it is and however much world focus there is on this. The Cartel arrogance knows no bounds, they just cant help themselves.

As City fans we have an obligation to get a public discussion going about this, if fans start discussing blatant Cartel cheating via officials then we are hitting them where it hurts - they really dont want that, it would be even better than booing them, in terms of annoyance.

We need to shift the debate to focus on UEFA corruption and The Cartel that fuels it.
