Fantastic fish n chips from the Maine Rd chippy outside!

Just watched the live Instagram feed of the players arriving inside the stadium and I couldn’t be more proud to be a city at the moment. Win, lose or draw we have a club to be proud of on and off the field. COYR make a 33 year old man cry again tonight

Just had an abomination of a meal in a Spoons.

It made me nostalgic for Lidney catering.

Interesting stat from Sky Sports News. We're the top scorers in the tournament with the semi-finalists scoring the following:

Bristol City - 16

Chelsea - 9

Arsenal - 4

Manchester City - 3

It doesn't affect the result of this game but it is a telling sign to the lazy journalists who are claiming that we will park the bus. 

In the prem Man City's goal difference (51)  is higher than the number of league goals we have scored. It's also higher than the total goals scored by the next best scoring team in the prem ( Liverpool).

Im just off to hide behind the sofa till the final whistle goes

Obviously, assuming this transaction is successful - anyone want a ticket for the home end?

Face value. FORTY TWO QUID!!!!

No idea how he managed to spend that much, but no robbery, that was the price.

Good luck.

Mine’s got the name Rick on it! We’re nearly there!

[Fordy62]

Wow. FairPlay to all the Citeh fans, so welcoming! I could put up with this every week!

[McfcOK]

Good luck tonight hope it's a good game!

• Oprah as president 
• The Rising Sun runs out of beer
• Hammarby IF (a crappy team in Sweden) wins the Swedish league
• England to win the World Cup
• Tommy to only post positive comments in a match day thread
• Gas to the Championship
• Bristol City to beat Man C

 

All sounds unlikely but the world is flat and everything can happen (ok I exaggerated on the gas thing).

    Come On You Reds!!!

Can' wait for Crystals before the final

[Fordy62]

They actually announce the arrival of the team bus and then introduce every player as they get off it. Showmanship at the next level!

[cityexile]

Unusual position of looking out for their team sheet rather more than ours, which pretty much selects itself...

Got this from online but notice it shows Steele in goal but another post shows fielding, so not sure how accurate this is

[cityexile]

Aguero or Stirling starting?

[ExiledAjax]

 

Sterling and KDB start, Aguero on bench.

You should edit your post to delete the content because it’s b*llocks and annoyingly misleading.

[Phileas Fogg]

Their attack is very strong of course but there’s a few vulnerabilities in their defence. Wouldn’t be surprised if we score.

oh my, was hoping Pep would rest a few more, could be getting beat by 6 or more with line-up.

[ExiledAjax]

Adarabioyo - Adebayor's dyslexic cousin?

[BCFCGav]

We’ll certainly not full strength Man City, but pretty effing close. KDB will be a hassle. Pin him Marlon!
