You've lost me here I'm afraid :)

It's going to be very difficult for us to get an attendance of over 53000 or so when the capacity of The Etihad is exactly that!
Probably are lost you must have never been to the emptyhad, it's a little bit over 53,000 if you've been ??? A 10 Yr old fan only loads around .. have you heard of Franny Lee, look it up on wiki..

Says nothing, City have been in UCL since 2011/12 season.
How many times have they played against Real at the Etihad?
Twice I think. Once under Zizou, once last season under Don Carlo.

Edit: it’s 4 times - two losses and two draws.

Been a few times :)

Yeah, I've heard of Franny Lee. Funnily enough, he was playing in the very first game my Dad took me to at Maine Road in 1974 :)

I’d just like to take this opportunity to congratulate City on the treble. Amazing achievement.

Very very very comfortable victory tonight. 4-0 maybe even 5-0. Done deal.

The lack of confidence among posters on here of our chances of beating City in the FA Cup final is astonishing, how can we expect our players to go out and perform when so many of our fans have already admitted defeat?

They don't lose at home in the CL... Mancini was crap in the CL but never lost a CL game at home... Pellegrini lost a few (Bayern, Barcelona twice, and Juventus -those teams were way stronger than City and the PL back then-), and Pep in 7 years only lost twice at home (Lyon and Liverpool)... And I've never seen them in the CL not dominate their home games.

To be fair, lack of confidence amongst fans is understandable when City have already spanked 6 past us before having mercy and taking their foot off the gas. Also, let’s not forget we had some very dubious lucky moments to at Old Trafford.

I was just having this conversation with Case and Bruno. They were arguing about shitty passes to each other. I said, heh, you lot aren't winning it anyway. Just look at at the Caf, everyone thinks so. Case says, pfft, we don't read that garbage.

It's happening. Can't wait for the parade. Atleast with the number of fans that will line the streets they won't have to close the roads.

City could win the quadruple, the World Cup, and cure cancer and I still wouldn't give much through to their club. They're a lead bucket draped in gold leaf, sprinkled with a dash of illegal finances.

They are dominating this decade. It is their time. They are having a season like United in ‘99. Cannot stand it but it is what it is. Financial doping and all.

Only thing that really counts in with what you wrote, and that is all they will be remembered for when it's all over.

I just compounds how brutal the last decade has been. I am gutted, to be honest.
The people saying they do not care cause City dope are kidding themselves.
When it comes to competing, we are irrelevant. They are top dogs.

At least Utd stopped them wining the Quadruple by wining the most important trophy!

2-0 at HT. Can anyone stop City at this stage? Treble seems inevitable.

I'm hoping Utd gets stronger next season and work the depth in squad.

Meh, was always going to happen. Should’ve happened a lot sooner with their resources.

Liverpool doing it would sting, but City? About time is all I can say.

Looks like United will have to do the job themselves...

Congratulations on the treble, but surely Pep winning it all would mean it's time he leaves? Because it's getting ridiculous

How much are they paying the media? 100+ charges against them and not a peep from a single one of them, whether it’s Journalists, pundits or commentators it’s complete radio silence like it doesn’t exist. Instead they go the opposite way and wank themselves into oblivion at everything they do. :houllier:

Let’s hope if anything good comes out of them winning this cnuting treble, is that important people in the sport wake the feck up and realise these bastards will dominate the game for over a decade if nothing is done to make sure they adhere to the rules.
