Jack Dawe Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Through to the CL semis for the first time. With Joe Hart, their one English player. Chelsea were positively bulldog with John Terry, Lampard, Ashley Cole. I don't really care much whether Man City's expensively assembled collection of overseas talent triumphs in Europe, or if Chelsea's expensively assembled collection of overseas talent flops in Europe. Not bothered. I'm quite pleased though to see Paris' expensively assembled collection of overseas talent defeated by Man City's expensively assembled...lot. Don't know why. Can it be jingoism? It's all very different from 1977 to 1984. Glory days, those were. 1967 and 1968 too. The best bit about tonight, fer me, was the wonderful booooooing of the Uefa CL theme prior to kick off. For that alone, I would like to see Man City's expensively assembled collection of overseas talent make the final and hear the booooos ring out before all the expensively assembled free loaders and back hander bribing dignitaries of uefa, stood to attention in the vip seats. We could lend Man City our very own @Thatch35 to boooooo moon the b******s.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Don't give a monkey's about any European competitions. It's not like we even have a sniff of entering them, despite David Russe's Reform Group's promises of "nights of European glory" down the Gate, 30 odd yeas ago.

BCFC Jordan Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Not really. Never bothered about the English clubs in Europe, unlike some. Will be great to hopefully see Leicester and Spurs in it next year though. My disinterest is mainly due to it being the same clubs each year.

054123 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 The champions league fell for its own hype a while ago and now doesn't mean a lot to most fans in Europe. Wild cards enduring Liverpool and Barcelonas entry would be the death knell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were chucking leaflets out the windows of the bar in the Williams Stand to the car park below. All seemed very exciting at the time. Even renewed my passport in readiness.

The Gasbuster Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I would like to see Man C win it; as that would certainly piss Man U fans off. And then if Man U failed to qualify for the CL next year, it would be doubly hilarious ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there (I like going and I like Manchester city to win when I do, although I'm never really arsed if they don't) and in fairness it was a 53,000 crowd. Decent game with a decent atmosphere and I enjoyed myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I am. Simply because our 4 champions league places are under threat. This article explains it. http://www.espnfc.co.uk/uefa-champions-league/story/2617221/could-the-premier-league-lose-a-champions-league-place With Chelseas win dropping off of the points total we need to get as many points as possible to try and stay ahead. With Leicester qualified and Spurs likely to qualify and even possibly West Ham then it's really not looking too good for this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes having gone to see cityv monchengladbach game in Germany with man city mates I met 25 years ago when they were league one on our level always gives you hope that we could get there although very unlikely in my lifetime cracking couple of days away stayed in cologne twenty of us three from Bristol will go to the final in San siro should they get there but doesn't give me the buzz like watching our boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I watched it, a bit boring. PSG were pretty pathetic without any passion. Ibrahimovic is a legend in his own mind. Can we sign Aguerro please to replace Tomlin/Kodjia as our penalty taker? For what Man City pay him, he wasn't even as close as Marlon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to God he doesn't sign for a club in this country. I honestly can't see how you can think this. The guy is amazingly talented and hard-working. From the backstreets of Malmo to winning 5 different European Leagues, the Puskas Award, and more team of the year awards than you can count. He was awarded a trademark of his name and his name is a verb in the Swedish dictionary. I'd say he's earned a little bit of confidence. He'd be incredible in the Premier League.

It's also refreshing that he's not just "The lads worked hard and at the end of the day we take each game as it comes" cliches. He has the audacity to have something different to say.

'Orns Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I had a real soft spot for Man City, before the money We know what it's like for a team in the same City to suffer in the shadows of their far superior neighbours, and Maine Road was a great, old fashioned stadium. Then the money come and I couldn't give a flying **** about them. Although there was a comment from Thaigo Silva yesterday that Zlatan shouldn't come to the Prem as it's a step down.....that irked me somewhat, so I'm glad City won last night That said I'm hoping that Benfica or Athletico win the Cup, one in the eye for the big boys. If one of the big boys has to win it, I hope it's Bayern, I love watching them play Looking forward to seeing Leicester & Tottenham in there next season, not that I subscribe, so I can't actually watch the games - but it will be nice to hear different names being spoken about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loyal and good humoured lot, added much to the terrace culture of our game. It's just the team on the pitch.
