Just between us, there´s nothing to fear When visiting ´Stade Etihad´, The chances are that we will be walloped there With a narrow defeat, we´d be glad So, all is to win, and nothing to lose A game totally pressure-free, That´s certainly how, if I had to choose I´d prefer our matches to be We could just be silly and expect to win Or even perhaps scrape a draw, But the chances of either are extremely thin And would certainly cause a furore But, then again, all of us know too That despite all the betting odds, Being heavily stacked on Mancini´s crew It´s not in the lap of the gods We will have a say, even if it is small And we´ve proved already this year, That up against top teams we always walk tall So PL´s message I´m sure is clear Go out and enjoy it, for all it is worth And they´re worth a packet, we know, But big bucks don´t always ensure you the earth And you never know how things will go And if as expected we fail in our task Lambert won´t need to get his coat, But should we be able, in some points, to bask You can bet they´ll sit up and take note.

As always, spot on the money, RBF! No pressure at all, every man and his dog are expecting us to lose heavily this time! I'll be glad to keep it to single figures!
actually i'm glad we are playing them now not 6 - 8 weeks ago, seems like they have gone off the boil a bit. Probalby will still thump us but as the saying goes "it's a funny old game"
Nice one RBF. Will be interesting to see how our players compare with the likes of Aguero and co. By the way, do you know of Gary Brink? Just had a look over on the pink un boards and there is this same poem!
