Semi-final draw (Friday 12pm)

[Shaggy]

That doesn't make sense. If we are the away team, our goals count for double in the event of tie (in Lineker's "joke" scenario).

Just shared for the info rather than the 'joke'

Worry not. He's bound to get sent off or pick up two yellows over the semis

Plus they have 3 games before the 1st leg whereas we only have 2.

Rome derby on Sunday will be interesting. Hope Lazio kick the **** out of them. They're neck and neck on 60 points in race to qualify for next seasons CL, with Inter just a point behind.

Dzeko, like Aguero, loves scoring against us. Had it been Lovren and Matip in defence he would have bullied the feck out of us. Just got to hope VvD stays fit and sharp.

I don't like Lucas' new hairstyle, looks a bit 90s.

Let's not get carried away with ourselves. Any team left in the Semis is capable of winning it (and they all think it's going to be their year). Roma are no mugs and quite capable of knocking us out. We will have to be at our best to progress.

I know I'm going to get pelters for this but a big team parking the bus at Anfield is exactly the kind of scenario that wee Phil was super useful for. The little cunt.

Would be surprised if they tried to park the bus at Anfield tbh. Can see them trying to bully us in the centre as they have a number of genuinely physical midfielders who can play like Nainggolan and Strootman, and they have some quality at the back like Manolas and Alisson.

But upfront they are way behind what we have in attack.


Was just looking through some of their more recent team sheets and for my money they have three players, maybe four at a push, that would walk straight into our first team. Those guys being Alisson, Manolas, and Nainggolan. The rest of their starting XI I would take our guys over every time.


They are not mugs, but if they are at 100% and we are at 100%, then can only see us winning

He’s scored 3 against for city in 11 games, hardly prolific.

But he absolutely loved those three.

[RichC]

He did I’m sure. Didn’t win in any of them either

My dad's 1984 checked flag from Rome was put into retirement after Istanbul. Feels like a fitting occasion to make its comeback

I am finding it harder and harder to get involved in discussion threads when loads of people are crying wolf about some conspiracy.

Everyone on all sides moans about it. City fans say we have paid UEFA off. Juve fans say Real have paid someone off.

Whats the point in following football if half of you know its so corrupt?

That's why I've had to unfollow so many people on here because of this exact reason.

I'd take all their midfield 3 - De Rossi (even at his age), Strootman and Nainggolan + Alisson and Manolas

Come on think.... He is saying we could do with the away goal rule....

[Fosterbloke]

They have Fazio and Kolarov in their back line. We just have to score against them home and away.
