Wowzers performance. We high pressed to great effect and I for one am shocked. Comment from
Manuel was "we will play our way." But was it?

The players directed the high press? I have criticised our manager but he has to manage the ego of Yaya with the pros and cons. The
Ferns in centre midfield who both did excellent work is a bizarre addition by subtraction against a team like PSG while on other occasions such an approach could hurt us.

Brilliant heart shown that made me proud even if not always on when it should. Come on City! We

First ten minutes the two cb's and cm's were giving me nightmares and I thought we'd get pulverised. Then Fernando started to get in the right positions and it stabilized. Mangala has always been my preference over the Otter but I doubt either are what Pep fancies, he likes to play out of the back and neither really can, but the Mangler stays on his feet and gets his head and foot in when it counts. Fernandinho great going forwards, and great pass for Kevin. This is how he should play but of course we have to bring Ya ya back, don't we? Joe had a funny old game. Ref got conned at every opportunity. Why is it never us doing the conning? Sergio might as well not have been on the pitch, very odd performance. Jesus worked hard but was as frustrating as ever. Great achievement imo. Athletico Madrid have a chance v Barca, maybe its going to open up for us?

very impressed.

got incredibly lucky too that Matuidi got the softest yellow of all time and that Otamendi wasn't booked for clattering Ibra.

1 offside goal and 1 bullshit goal but it still seems somewhat like a fair result.

did Sergio have a shot on goal before the 87th minute?

fans had better not boycott Tuesday. i know the ticket prices are high but we could advance to the semis (and maybe draw Wolfsburg!). need the fans there on Tuesday.
I'm not really a City fan. I'm just here for attention.

Yes we always press high when we play well. It's when we go and stroll around we are crap

It was Manuel's instruction. The camera panned to him at one point in the first ten minutes and you could see him urging the team to push up.

It's also been evident in other CL games this season, particularly Sevilla away.

Depends on your perspective on the whole ticket price issue. What's your breaking point? When will you "get it"?

Breaking the bank to follow City was the norm, Even as a kid selling a bike to my brother wagging School and getting the Finglands coach to see us in an FA Cup final on a Thursday came natural. City at home in a European Cup Q/F. No brainer in my humble opinion.

So we go through on Tuesday and the semi final is £100 do you sell your kids bike and tell him it's the done thing?

I just think ticket prices in football are a rip off.

Easy to "break the bank" to watch City when you're young with no responsibilities. When you're a dad (or grandad), it's another thing entirely. Everyone's circumstances are different. Personally I understand anyone not wishing to pay that for a game of football, but if you can pay and are happy to, that's great.

It's not that I don't have the disposable income. It's because I think there has to be a stand made by fans at some point. There are some fans planning a walkout on Saturday. The 1894 group have said prices are too high, yet we draw 2-2 and it seems some people are getting carried away with themselves. This will be my first CL game I have missed at home.

I think the prices are not unreasonable for a European Cup Qf
Less than a league game. And I paid nearly twice as much last night.

Like I said. It's about perspective. I think the Club could do better with prices.

Too right sell the bike and the fucking dog, This is City. Live for today, tomorow takes care of its fucking self. You boring bastards, what happened to
I was there ?. It also explains why we had 55,000 scousers at the CC final. Just maybe not a dig we are not so big after all. The things I have done to get to City would make your fucking hair curl. If I had it on me I was going, and to some extent I am like that now. Family 1st City 2nd 3rd and so on.

Just listened to the BBC radio 5 live podcast from last night. It has Neil Lennon and the amazingly knowledgeable Danny knobhead Mills.

He stated that of the City players on the pitch at the final whistle. Only Hart will be wanted by Guardiola. He just knows everything does Danny.

I actually think the whole 'pundit' system is ruining the game for millions of people. We are paranoid about it (sometimes justifiably) but it's the same for other clubs' fans. I've never met anyone who can stand Michael Owen.

Maybe one day someone will realise it and start a TV channel without all these cunts and get a lot more viewers?
