Actually think lvg has done a relatively decent job there this season. Yeah their footie has been boring at times but they could still end up with 4th and an fa cup while getting a fair amount of young players meaningful games

His / their problem is that he has spent zeppelins full of money when they had better players in their youth system; you can praise his management for recognizing this (and not allowing his ego / his fear to not pick them, as Martinez has) but its not exactly a ringing endorsement that he should remain in charge over there.

Of course, what effect the success of their youth players this season will have on whether or not Mou gets appointed is another question.

Reckon Man City will win this tonight.

Why go to all that effort to get to a ticket for the match (Those things were like gold dust) only to boo the anthem?

If you hate UEFA so much, why go to the match at all?

They've already got your money, you're achieving nothing

Aren't they doing it now because they've not lost a Champions League match since they started it?

Not following that logic, Mikey.

I see nowt incongruous about going to watch one's own team playing a game and booing an artificial anthem if one feels like it.

Your logic could also be applied to us, paying £52 to go The Pit last week and booing the dirge

Not really the same though is it mate?

That's a league game away from home. The song isn't representative of the competition as a whole, it's just something the home team sing. A better example would be booing the fair play handshake music they play every game, as that's a piece of music endorsed by the League

This is different. It's UEFA's show and, when you boo that anthem, you make a statement against UEFA as a whole. Just seems strange that they are so up for being there, but still hate it at the same time. For me, its very much one way or the other. Either you're happy to be at UEFA's shindig or you stay at home as a protest

Semi final of the Champions League. Against Real Madrid.

No atmosphere whatsoever at the Etihad, it's like a morgue.

It is awful alright, only the Madrid fans are making a noise.

I hope Pelligrini Dosent bring Silva with him..

Class... But a proper Fanny.

 

[Muggins]

Just seen some disgusting tackles from Real Madrid. Wish we had filthy players who could get away with that...

They'd be wearing the wrong shirt I'm afraid

Having a Royal Madrid badge on your chest opens up certain avenues

Disagree.

I wouldn't stop at home when we eventually play in the CL just because I despise UEFA.

And if the buggers give us reason to boo their silly non anthem (have you ever seen the lyrics) then I will join in wholeheartedly.
