Champions League 2015/16

Pep's got his work cut out, I reckon he was sitting there watching the game and thinking wtf have I got myself into.

Then he'll remember he'll probably get handed a few hundred million to revamp the team. Also his ludicrously juicy and fat contract will no doubt comfort him too.

Yeah this City team is finished. A lot of them are knocking on. Silva, Sagna, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Navas, Fernandinho and Toure are all 30 and above. Couple of the others like Hart, Nasri, Fernando and Otamendi are 28.

Better suggestion: Tactics Tim. At least they'd run abat abit

And probably Navas and Silva in Defensive midfield too! "just faaaakin' shuffle across lads innit"

Great result for us, must win game this weekend for them, especially if Man U beat West Ham.

Nailed it. City still need a result to finish above United and stay in top 4, if they beat Arsenal then that's pretty much 2nd for us. To finish below them lot again really would be a blow.

Bale coming back to the stage where he announced himself in Europe with us by scoring a hat trick against the then reigning champs

I really don't like either Madrid team, but I will be in cheering mode if he scored the winning goal.

Can't stand Madrid. Like the way Athletico apply themselves but Simone is a bad egg tbh; don't like cheats and what he pulled the other day with that ball-boy antic was bang out of order.

Was the same as a player.

Anyway, AM will win imo and I'd be happy with that overall.

Clattenberg to ref the CL final, have they not watched him this season?!

I actually think he is a very good referee. He uses his initiative and doesn't apply some of the ridiculous rules of the bat not to mention he likes and attempts to let the game flow.

It is not his fault that players abused that at times although he has made mistakes like others.

Guardiola really does have a job on his hands getting this City squad to how he likes it. I know they are criticised for being boring in possession at times, but midfielders in a Guardiola team are always very quick at winning the ball back. Yay Toure? Forget it mate.

He's clearly got a seriously good agent.

Toure's definitely offski. Probably China or somewhere else in Asia. Wherever he can get the biggest pay packet and birthday cakes.

Theres a fine line between letting the game flow and just completely losing control of a game. He lost control and then some in a London derby of extremely high importance. Not only that, he could have prevented all the shenanigans if he had protected our players when Chelsea was targeting us the first 15'. Instead, nothing was called. Because of him, what should have purely been a football match basically descended into a fighting match with a football in the middle of it. That match was probably the worst officiated game I have seen in quite some time.

The fact that he was not even reprimanded for such an awful performance is shocking to me. Now he's been rewarded with the CL
final? That is an absolute disgrace.
