What result do we want tonight?

- Start date
City have the better team so a Liverpool win wouldn't be too bad. Think they have less of a chance of winning the whole thing compared to City.
Liverpool might be able to beat City but they will get taken apart by Real or Barcelona. My fear is that City could win it so Liverpool to knock City out then get stuffed in the semi.
City win, Liverpool can go feck themselves.
I'm not sure how I feel about them resting players at the weekend. It'll make things twice as embarrassing if they thrash us, while it won't be half as satisfying if we beat their second team.
I'd prefer a Liverpool win in this round as I'm confident they won't get past Madrid or Barcelona later on however to answer your question I do think I'd prefer a Liverpool competition win over a City one. City are already being spoken about as the best PL side ever, if they win a treble you know the direct comparisons will be made with our 99 achievement, Liverpool could win it this year and so what? They'll still be no where in the league next season
As long as there are over 9 corners, and both teams score in the first half, I don't care much tonight, but I don't want Liverpool anywhere near a European final ever again...
It's like choosing between boiled sh1t and fried sh1t.
I'm leaning towards City purely because I couldn't ever want the scousers to win AND they're already 2 trophies ahead in European Cups/Champions Leagues. That said, there are some vocal, insufferably smug blues in my office but no scousers, so I's enjoy seeing them all deflated. And I'd love for City to never win the Champions League, despite the dirty cash.
In conclusion, 22 injuries and a permanently abandoned tie would do it.

I'd rather take the chance that City get found out by Real or Barca, than seeing Liverpool in the semi final. From there, anyone can win it.
Liverpool win. City have a far better chance of winning the whole thing and I don’t think I can handle seeing Pep’s smug face if they did win it.
Or just hope that Real/Bayern/Barcelona will dick city in the SF
Be more confident if it was Liverpool though.Or just hope that Real/Bayern/Barcelona will dick city in the SF
Wash your mouth out with soap...
City win obviously.
I'd be very jealous of then if they go on to win it.

That sounds very like how Liverpool fans were talking before we overhauled them. It is history, nowadays people care for the here and now.
The fact the media are calling City the greatest PL team of all time, when they have done nothing much shows that. What we achieved is getting more overlooked by the day which rips my heart out.
I would prefer either a narrow Liverpool win tonight or a draw, so City have to rest some players on Saturday, as I don't want them to win the league against us. Then the second leg I am going into a one day abstinence from TV and radio as I do not want either to go through. Can they both not get thrown out for some reason?
It's not the same treble as we won, though. So we can peg them back down with that immediately. Not to mention their glory has and always will come with a small * because of the oil money.
Draw today.
Then they both have all to play for and would maybe play weakened teams at the weekend. This might cause pool to drop points and maybe give us a better chance against city too and could turn out beneficial for us.
Pool aren’t going to win vs city away anyway.

United still haven't overhauled Liverpool in Europe. Winning the league is small fry compared to winning the CL/EC.
The problem is that if either draw Bayern in the semi that is very winnable. Then anything could happen in a final.....nightmare!
True. Good point. I think you’ve eased my conflict. Nice one. I’m going all in on a humiliating defeat for Liverpool!
I prefer Liverpool to go through because as many are saying they have no chance against Madrid/Barcelona/Bayern but Man City will probably have a better chance of winning the whole competition. The next best option is for Liverpool to win a tight game in the 1st leg so that City have one eye on the 2nd leg in our derby match. They will have to rest players which will give us better chances to win the game. Then they beat Liverpool in the 2nd leg.
Everything can happen in a knock out competition. I'd rather remove that small chance completely.
The fact we haven't is down to our own fault and some stupid refereeing decisions stopping us in our tracks. We should still be in the competition if not for the manager misjudging how the CL is now played.
I'm pretending that just isn't happening. A lot of posters are risking incriminating tags.
I am edging towards watching the Barca/Roma game and just follow the other rabble game on here.
Like fence sitter or yella-belly
Liverpool win. I dislike both clubs, but Wijnaldum and Van Dijk playing for pool edges it.
Also, I kind of want Pep to fail.
Bring on the Klopp's lover, Scouserhumper tags.

I almost want Liverpool to win. I doubt their ability to go all the way a lot more than City's.
If we're not in it i dont give a flying feck. Let them sort it out and whatever left coming this saturday we'll finish them off
That's what they said in 2005...no way this Liverpool team can win the CL, they are so bad in the league...we were all laughing at Liverpool being 3-0 down at half time to a clearly better team...then you know what happened next.
Not really sure how relevant that is, the two finals we lost we were outplayed in, and we would have to get extremely lucky to win the CL this year if we beat Sevilla. If anything you've proved what I've said, winning the CL is very difficult and everything needs to go your way.
Exactly for this reason for once I would say Liverpool to beat City, pity they can't both get knocked out. Should Liverpool go through they will definitely be no match for Barcelona or RM.
That's just it, I genuinely believe that City could beat any of those on current form, whereas I wouldn't be as sure about Liverpool's chances. It's a real quandary.Or just hope that Real/Bayern/Barcelona will dick city in the SF
Exactly! I'd rather not take my chances.. The Champions League is almost like a mythical beast - you can't bank on anything!
For sure they could, but City winning the CL wouldn't bother me 1% as much as Liverpool winning it would. City are just a plastic team, I don't care!
City win and an animated Klopp post match interview!
I wasn't really talking about the Barca games, more the way we had really good teams and were screwed over against Porto/Bayern/Real and even earlier against the like of Dortmund. All years when we could/should have been capable of winning it all.
A better poll would be to ask who you want to go through in tie. Otherwise I am sure most would prefer result to be close/draw tonight so that both have all to play for next midweek.
I have less hatred for City, I'm not fully sure why. I can appreciate what they're doing right now regardless of the money spent (it's the game now and has been for a while).
Despite all the plaudits, potential records and style of play, their treble (if they even do it) would not be as good as ours and they won't do it again next season. So, I can more than live with it.
Liverpool having any success makes my blood boil and the thought of them winning the Champions League at this point is something I view as unbearable. I've grown up as a United fan with the idea that Liverpool are and always will be the main enemy regardless of current position, recent history or form. They're actually pretty close to us right now in the grand scheme of things as well. This just feels like 'how it should be' to me and I can't agree with fans who put the Man City rivalry first. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion on the matter though, of course!
Edit: However, now that a poll has been added, I would like a score draw tonight so the tie isn't over. So, I can agree with that! I do want us to at least avoid defeat on Saturday obviously!
Forgotten 2005?
