Manchester City

Just hope that utd kick seven shades out of them, as Everton will to us.

[Norbs]

I would think they would go all out at the weekend realistically thinking its highly unlikely that we are not going to score at they're place and they are not going to put 5 past us

I am not for one second thinking this tie is over, but If I was a city fan, I would want them especially considering the first leg scoreline, not to rest players at the weekend.

Makes no sense ... rest players and miss out on a once in a lifetime chance to win the title at your biggest rivals only for them players to play in a game were the odds are ridiculously stacked against them ... because we are never going to stop

Nah. They've never won the CL and that's their main objective. The English league is bread and butter

[Exiled_red]

They will win the title against UTD or in the next 6 games. The league is done and in the bag.

To jeopardise all hope of progressing in the CL for some short term, slightly enhanced bragging rights makes no sense. City have a huge squad, will want to respond and get the mentality right for Tuesday. Exactly what that means for Saturday we'll have to wait and see, but Tuesday will remain the overall priority for them.

Pep saying they were offered Pogba 2 months ago

The English journo's are fuming as the story was supposed to be embargoed until 10:30. Di Marzio thought otherwise and ran with it anyway

How can you embargo what's said in a press conference?

That is amazing. I wish there was more candidness in football.

there's usually a press conference for all media, then one for written media so they have stories/exclusives for the next day

Ah.

An almost archaic concept in this day and age.

[Fernandinho]

I can’t make sense of half of what he said in that interview. What was the constant references to dogs about?

Basically Raiola doesn't like Guardiola since he froze out Ibrahimovic at Barcelona, and bizarrely called him a dog.

The wheels are wobbling.

Apparently there are City fans in the crowd crying.
