3-0 up at half time. 5-0 on aggregate. We are going to have a hell of a job on to fuck this one up in the second half.

Not bought one for years. There's far too many released. As you say, at normal price they are an absolute rip off. And now there's only a few months left where they will be current.

1-1

Yet another experiment. The constant changing of the side leads   to unpredictability.

A strong team indeed and more than good enough to win this game.

We need to have a fast start, be alert and expect to be pressured and scythed down by Newcastle players in the early stages. They'll be hoping for early pressure and an early goal.

Calmness and playing our own game, passing, proving & creating chances.

C' mon City let's get to the final so we can beat Arsenal at Wembley.

Ronseal.

Home and Away Kits on sale.

I say sale, more like a price they should be at retail anyway

Interested to see if Nypan or McAidoo comes on.

They're always shit stirring about him leaving.

If he does, then his head will be held high as the greatest manger we've ever had.

CITY XI: Trafford, Nunes, Khusanov, Ake (C), Ait-Nouri, Nico, Reijnders, O'Reilly, Semenyo, Foden, Marmoush

Subs: Donnarumma, Dias, Haaland, Cherki, Rodri, Nypan, McAidoo, Alleyne, Lewis

A few changed but a strong team

Piece from the BBC about City planning for life without Pep.
