Match Day Thread Manchester City Buzz

I look forward to a great occasion to share with my grandson and all City fans.
Watching the latest Man City game with Bournemouth makes you realise what an almost impossible task we have just to stay in the game.
If/when they score I hope it's not by pissing about in and around our box. There isn't a better team anywhere who 'press' better than Man City.
Fingers crossed we keep it respectable.

Ps I hope Williams, with his fitness issues, is available for the weekend.

 

Yep, they are a lot better than we gave them a game over 2 legs a few years back. I think we are not as good a team as we were then, although we have improved a lot lately. I fear a mauling tbh, maybe 3 or 4 nil. I will be there regardless.

 

So long as we give them a game and not sit back.....losing by 3 or less would be a decent result imo...

 

Arguably Man City are the best side we've seen at AG along with the great Leeds Utd side in the 70's. Is there anyone else ?
To show the massive gap now is I always felt we had a chance against Leeds back then where, being honest, I can't see us having a hope tomorrow night.
Funnily enough, good as they were/are, neither Leeds or Man City have won the European Cup/Champions League.

 

I am looking forward to watching the game over my lunch and whatever the score it's our day to be in the limelight for once. The Bristol City Women lost 1-8 to Man City just the other day so let's hope that is not an omen. Getting this far in the F.A. Cup is in itself an achievement for which we should hold our heads up high but beating this classy team is probably outside of reality - or is it? Good luck lads and make us proud.

 

I seem to remember that we received great praise from Pep after our last clash with Man City and I thought that his positive comments might lead to some loan players especially as he appeared to like the cut of our jib. Perhaps a second visit may convince him that the set-up at Bristol City is an ideal environment for some of his younger players to whet their appetites whilst playing in the best second tier sporting league in the world. Who knows what this clash might turn up down the road?

 

There is a high chance I can't make the game tomorrow, so I have a ticket up for grabs if anyone wants it. Let me know

 

Nice offer supcon but I might have trouble getting there.

 

Poor excuse, call yourself a City fan

 

Liverpool of the same era I guess, who went on to win many more trophies at home and abroad than Leeds ever did over the following 8-10 years ?.

Leeds gave us chances in both games against them, but Liverpool were too 'professional' (if you can call it that) to give us any real chances in the 6th round.
To this day I still resent Emlyn Hughes constantly passing the ball back to Ray Clemence from near the half way line to slow the game down, and apart from the Steven Gerrard era, I've hated Liverpool ever since because of the way that they played that game against us all those years ago.

In terms of tonight, we don't have a prayer against Manchester City on paper. But when was football ever played on paper ?

 

Sorry mate - still in the Costa Del Sol.

 

If we keep them to scoring max four goals I will be happy.

But to be honest I can’t see it.

I’m hoping we don’t get too downhearted and carry the doom and gloom into Cardiff

 

if we are at our best,and they at there worst then who knows?,bring ''em on.

 

Agree, I think it’s going to be really tough. I hope they don’t get too downhearted, Man City are possibly the best team in the world imo

 

Anytime possible of course, most likely outcome is a convincing loss though
