The Wealdstone Raider made an appearance in Moscow last night...

City winning the CL would be insane just as this sentence ^^

Zolayes would rather City be in the Champions league than the Europa league, please explain to me the logic in that?.. other than more prize money, and potentially equaling our record.

He is probably thinking that City wouldn't rest first team players when in CL. That may not be the case for EL since Pele might not care as much as Rafa did.

They have a very small squad actually, i.e only 3 forwards.. so first teamers would almost certainly have to play, travel and train with the squad.

After all the bullshit and injustices we've been through in the CL, and for City to equal that so easily, it destroys our legacy and makes us just another sugar daddy club.

It's not about who plays it's about who you are playing against. They are much more likely to drop points after a mid-week CL game against Real than after a meaningless match against Steaua.

LMAO at Roma!

Hey @Madmax, deja vu, eh? :D

Very debatable. Also, and back to the point.. City winning the Champions league would be a greater achievement than us winning the league. Anything that gets them closer is a bad thing..

But they have next to zero chance of winning regardless of whether they qualify to the knock-out rounds.

That's like saying you don't want Westham or Southampton beating City in the league because Westham/Southampton winning the league with such low budgets would eclipse all of our PL titles!

That penalty decision for Schalke in stoppage time against Sporting Lisbon was a disgrace. How did the referee deem that to be an intentional handball is beyond me. What were the linesman or even the fifth official behind the goal doing?! Even that Bayern penalty against Roma was a joke of a decision.

Nah, it's not the same.. in a cup competition anything can happen (so it's plausible that City could win even now), the league is all about consistency.

We went through so much shit to win just one, if City win it after one good run out of the group that would be horrible. Even progressing to the semi's would increase their status and they'd get a nice chunk of prize money too, which isn't good for us.

it was a horrible decision. hit the guy in the face. and right at the end, after lisbon equalised with 10 men. very unfair, and he didnt even give it at first.

Actually, never mind intentional, wasn't even a handball in the first place. To take quote Garry Monk's words, that was a disgusting decision!

Wenger turns 65 today. Anderlecht double chance = banker.

[Laylabelle 9,398]

Hope real don't mess up.never hear the end of it

[iseah100 5,612]

Real won't win by a large margin. 2-0 probably.

[LAM09 6,820]

I think RM vs Liverpool will probably end in a score draw.

[Nike 373]

Cr7 hatrick

james hatrick

benzema brace

Marcelo
