Next: Liverpool (Away)

[Bluedj]

So what team line up do you think MP will start with and why?

Who would you like to see start?

I have this notion that Garcia should start. Against Chelsea in the cup, Bayern away and other games he seems to gel the midfield and we look tighter and better

Frank le Beouf (sp?) just said on Soccer AM that we are in a better position than Chelsea or Liverpool.

Always liked the bloke ;-)

I honestly think he's going to start with Aguero. Whether that's right or wrong I don't know, just have a feeling we have been saving him for this

[Wonderwall]

Scouse have chartered a plane to fly over anfield with a banner saying some shit like dare to dream.

I really hope we silence them and rub their noses in it by singing wheres your famous anfield noise followed by its just like being in church.

[Beefymcfc]

I do like the way we don't go about our business with our heads up our own arse and that the hype that has been brought to this game has not affected the team.

Vince Kompany - articulate as always.

"We remember the match against them earlier in the season and for me, Liverpool are still the best Premier League team we've faced at the Etihad.

"They have been on a fantastic run and we know we have to be focused and leave the pitch at the end knowing we've given everything because there is so much at stake in this game.

"But then again, this is a great challenge for us.

"They have a great squad and while we will be wary of that, I think we have quite a few great players of our own.

"We've been to Old Trafford, White Hart Lane and the Allianz Arena and come away with victories this season and our form on the road is as good as anyone.

"We know that if the players, supporters and staff around our club stand together, we are capable of anything."

Pellers - says it as it is.

"It will be a very emotional day but the team that has the cold mind will win the game.

"It is easy in these big games to have the motivation but it is very important to manage the anxiety. That is very important for all the players."

"I think Liverpool are favourites because they are top of the table but I don't like to take the pressure off my team.

"I think all big teams know they must play with pressure. I don't try to take advantage and say we don't have any pressure because we play away or they are the best team.

"It's impossible not to enjoy it. That's why we are here - fighting for the title.

"It's better for everyone to have two or three teams fighting for the title."

I think this too. If it works Pelligrini looks like a genius, and if it fails he looks like an idiot. Fingers crossed its the former.

The way the Dipper fans are acting is quite scary and if they lose I wouldn't want to be walking across Stanley Park after the game.

[gmercer1]

Yes when they lose all hell is going to break loose!

the key is to go and play football and not get involved in their pantomime, wonder if we'll see adverts for their newly released shirts...

It's telling how respectful we are and after the home game against them, the gentlemen of the sport compared to their brash bullshit - they are Rags with a slightly different badge. That is evident now.

We can do this, i would happily take a point now but i really do hope we beat them - although they will not be able to accept victory, draw or a defeat with any amount of respect.

[Beefymcfc]

What's that, they've released a new shirt to coincide with the memorial?

If that's true it's nearly as bad as the advertising that the Rags did. Both of them are fucking jokes who will use anything to make money. I'd like to think that all profits made from this would go to charity but I guess that's just me.

You know, I even think someone will use the line 'City Disrespected the Day' if we come away with the points.

Great timing, eh.

*shakes head at the utter shit some clubs will pull*

All those Dippers wanting to get their keepsake from the game, doesn't coming cheap and a marketing persons dream. Disgusting way to extract more money out of the fans but then again, if fans are celebrating the deaths in such a way, they're just as bad.

There will be people there who will have real hurt for what happened but there will be those grief-chasers attending, paying over-inflated prices just to say 'I was there'. There'll be crying, telling everybody what an emotional event it was but in no way have any link to what happened.

Fucking pathetic.

[Sparklehorse]

My favourite statement in our press conference is "if we think this game is any more important than the Sunderland game next wednesday we will not win the league"
Absolutely right !!!!

I doubt it, think Kun is on the bench and Navas will start.

I seen to remember another anniversary where we ruined the day. Let's do it again. We are impeccable

If the manager of Millwall was daft enough to promise to "unleash" his fans on the oppo, I suspect the reaction in the media would be rather different. Fuck knows why - it's not like Liverpool don't have history of aggro and violence. Does the other tragedy give them license to say and do whatever the fuck they want?

[budfox]

I am genuinely bored of hearing about Hillsborough. Yes, people died, it was tragic and those involved have every right to see those responsible brought to justice.

However, it's not the only tragedy that ever happened, or ever will, and I just can't help feeling that has it been any other club (with the noticeable exception of the rags) the events would now just be part of history.
