Guys, Guys, Guys! Come on!

This is a one off game at Wembley. We got this.

Do you think Tonda is saying to the players "team we have no chance, unless they play **** and half their players are injured?"

No he is saying what I am. Two teams on the pitch. We have the desire to do it. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. But we also have talent. Look how we played against Arsenal. He will say look at that sea of yellow at the west end of Wembley, drink it in. Do this for them, do this for the others at home. Do this for yourselves.

Don't. I am really pissed off I can't go. Our 17 year old Chihuahua cannot be left alone and Mrs No7 couldn't get out of work as she is on a big campaign that would mean she loses 5 days work to have the Saturday off. Also, pick your battles lol. Cup final and Play off final coming up, and I have the moral high ground.

Though, I havent checked the Wembley terms and conditions - can you bring a dog if he is an emotional support dog? He would love it. He already knows all the chants and is used to me jumping up and scaring the **** out of him <laugh>

I'd have him over Wood. I think Wood is the worst player in ours quad

I would too. I just do not trust Wood. He looks like an accident waiting to happen. He even makes THB look nervous as he doesnt trust him either. Last night they kept swapping sides, not to confuse the opposition, but I think because they were trying to work out which side he was less ****.

The one thing Wood does have is physicality, as he showed keeping Vipotnik under wraps. Haaland though might just be a slightly different proposition…

Granted I might still be coloured by his little outburst earlier in the season, so I think he's a ****, but we genuinely look worse at the back with him in it.

My concern isn’t central defence, it’s full back. Whatever combo of wide players city play will very likely tear apart our full backs over and over who both have shown they can’t deal with PL level wingers before, Doku against Bree especially scares me.

That will then lead to plenty of opportunities coming in from wide areas which they will no doubt convert a few of.

The chances of winning are tiny but there is still a chance and even if we lose by 5+ (which on paper is a serious possibility but I doubt will happen mainly because City tend to just get a couple up then coast to save legs) hopefully it won’t destroy the confidence in the squad because it’s City
 
Yeah nervous about this, mainly due to City’s fine form. Didn’t feel the same about Arsenal. Not sure Wood is better than Quashie but he’ll play over him I’m sure if Stephens not fit. Real blow if Stephen is out. Solid of late.
