Title is self-explained.
Try to be a bit objective: Between us and Inter, who do you put greater trust on to stop City's treble?

I don’t fancy either but us. We’ve already beaten them this season.

If you put a gun to my head, I'd say Inter - it's a CL final, the occasion might get to KdB and co. That's about the only hope.

But realistically, I expect City to win both finals comfortably.

Us, Inter are utter rubbish, but while I'm at it this City treble obsession needs to end. Not nice, but it was always coming since state-owned clubs became a thing. Be grateful that the most plastic out of the bunch is doing it.

They way they are playing no one is stopping them but then, stranger things have happened in football.

We are the better team but Inter is better at shithousing, so probably them.

Imagine having to rely on a Lukaku’s masterclass to stop them, world’s gone mad.

Us but in all honesty they can field two totally different teams and beat us both probably

Dont write Italian teams of. They are experts of destroying games.

They will frustrate city.

Time to just accept it. City are treble winners. An historic achievement. No club in English football history has ever been the second club to win the treble.

Incredible really, going down in history as the other side to do it, will be talked about for hours, possibly even a day. The parade will be massive, easily the second biggest parade in Manchester this season and the fact the biggest one won't even happen because this isn't Liverpool, inconsequential really.

Inter. Just because the occasion is massive and there is a small chance City overthink it.

I can't really see them slipping up in either final though.

Deffo Inter. They seem to have a bit more about them than us. Have a few street fighters in there. Like I don’t see players like Martinez, Dzeko, Dumfries just taking a beating on the chin. They’ll probably still get a beating but they’ll go out with some body parts, a few yellows and maybe a red. With us you could just imagine players like Lindelof, Dalot, Martial and Sancho pleading with city players to go easy on them in the tunnel.

Inter has 3 forwarders able to score…we have just 1 who is even not in his better form.

Both of us are big underdogs but using a boxing analogy; We have a puncher's chance.

I heard Erik Ten Hag has offered Guardiola sexual favours in return for keeping the scoreline below 4. True story.

Inter obviously. They have a set way of playing. They have got some talent and Lukaku/Dzeko can hold up the ball and contest for long balls which Real Madrid failed to do utterly.

Inter will lose comfortably. Us, but realistically, we are both not good enough if City turn up.

I’d have to say us. We’ve beaten city already this season and I think their main focus is the UCL- they’ve won the FA cup a couple (few?) times in recent years.

They’re going to blow inter away by a country mile. (Jinx).

Honestly, neither. I think City will make light work of both of us.

Best thing we can hope for is either one of us manages to fluke a jammy goal and then shithouse it, or City getting a player sent off, or a penalty shooutout (though I'd only trust Inter in that scenario considering Poppadom hands hasn't saved a single penalty for us in about 12 years).

If we could find our form of the first half of the season and if we had Martinez available I'd feel we'd have a good chance. But in reality I think they'll win both finals comfortably

They're unbeaten in 25, and I can't remember too many games in those 25 when you didn't think they'd find a solution.

I can't say much for Inter, but our form has been patchy at best for quite a few weeks and all of our top players are either injured (Martinez) or well out of form or recently back (Casemiro, Rashford, Varane).

We rely on De Gea to be perfect, Wan Bissaka to have one of his ridiculous games, Lindelof to be 100% on it, Shaw to create from the left, Casemiro to not get sent off, Bruno to shithouse as much as possible, Rashford to have one of his moments and Antony to work like he's never worked along with Eriksen to quietly be pretty much perfect when he has the ball. I pin absolutely zero hopes on Martial or Weghorst here.

If we do that, we might be able to compete but they are at the peak point of their traditional and quite frankly scary runs at the run-in stage. Yes finals are one-off games, but I think it's mental to throw form out of the window when one team has been near enough perfect for 3 months.

Inter.

City know they can dick us without breaking a sweat. We're fatigued. We're mentally weak. We haven't a fecking chance, to be honest.

Inter are shit too but it's a CL final. City are overwhelming favourites, there might be nerves. Lukaku might tear Dias a new arsehole.

Watch them lose on sunday against the Chavs.

KDB twisted ankle.

Brighton school them on wednesday, and Haaland red carded for the FA cup final.

Brentford beats them on Sunday with Rodri hamstring.

Lose the title to Arsenal.
Lose the FA cup final to us.
And Inter beat them on pens.

Watch this space.

Champions league is wrapped up. They could play each other 100 times and City would win everyone.

It's up to us

Inter look a bigger goal threat, seem to have players with more grit than us and have peaked at the business end of the season. Inzaghi seems to love a good cup run too. Very difficult to conceive us winning considering how poor we've been of late.
