Hopefully Spurs will now be knackered for Saturday and with small squad will be hard to rotate. City should be super motivated by going out of CL like that, and can bring in an almost entirely fresh team from their massive squad.
Did you put money on it?
That's the way I was thinking
I predicted in the CL thread yesterday morning, see history , 2 1 or 3 2 though didn't see 4 3 coming. Not much of a gambling man.
Jesus Christ man, cheer up.
Our Local rivals just got knocked out of the competition that they are clearly utterly desperate to win. And in hilarious circumstances with the VAR goal and all that.
If you can't laugh and enjoy that then what's the point.
It's going to be tough for City to pick themselves up.
Aw man, you're a barrel of laughs aren't you.
Yh you could see how little they cared last night
1 title, 2 League Cups and possibly 1 FA Cup in 3 seasons. It's not a bad haul but for a team like City I'd expect more.
Fans aren't impressed with UEFA and boo the anthem. Sets the tone for their CL games. The players and Pep care obviously.
Yeah, it was obvious from the reactions how little they care.
It would be a major major flop for Pep.
City have looked utterly dominant in the league apart from that frankly odd period where they lost 3 on the spin. I fully expect them to win their 5 remaining games and the title in the process.
Definitely. A legitimate argument could be made, that City have the greatest squad ever assembled in the Premier League. Just look at their bench yesterday. Sane, Fernandinho, Jesus, Mahrez, Stones, etc. They would walk into our current starting eleven. I am still hoping they will beat Liverpool to the title, but it would also be kind of hilarious if that squad only wins a couple of domestic cups.
Just like PSG being called by some idiots one of the favorites every year. The CL requires something else that is hard to put into words
All these oil money clubs find it hard to win the UCL dont they, even Chelsea failed to do it when they were at their absolute peak and only won it when they did when they were a bang average side finishing 5th in the PL (or was it even lower?)
These favorite and best team in Europe talks must finally end. For both clubs. The history is important for CL.
I think Chelsea 07 are probably the only runners up I can think of who would challenge them as they came even closer to the quad that year than City did. Either team, Liverpool or City, would probably be the best runners up.
yet city fans get wound up people don't warm to their club
This is such horrendous bullshit.
Of all the usual nonsense spouted in the wake of yesterday's game this absolutely takes the prize. How does this mysterious property of "history" actually effect football match?
I'd put our double winners of 1993-94 up against them any day.
The 93-94 wasn't the greatest squad. But was one hell of a team.
Yeah, it sucks. Almost want to not watch any football for a while until the new season starts. Almost.
And that is what it's all about. They were a joy to watch. Were it not for the three foreigner rule imposed by UEFA, we'd have had a great crack at the European Cup.
I'd put them up against any of Fergie's sides to be honest
feck that. Any excuse to laugh. It’s even worse for them knowing that even though we’re shit we’re still prepared to take the piss.
Yes but the quadrapule would have been super annoying too witness, thats one horror show off the table at least.
See his history. This was one of his more positive posts....
Jesus Christ man, cheer up.

They were one of the worst CL winners ever with so much luck along the way.
