Also Barca are still Crosselona.

Dzeko's free header a few yards out straight at Ter Stegen was awful. I don't remember him missing other good chances, but that was a great chance. Not scoring from that one was a bigger mistake than Kompany's defending against Suarez in Barca's first goal, imo.

Suarez: "Biting attempt? He puts his hand on my throat. ENG press wants to cause me harm. Guess they're still hurt about World Cup."

Suarez in 4 games has already surpassed Alexis Sanchez' CL goalscoring record for Barca in 3 seasons by the way. Laughing

City, after spending gazillions over years, field a central midfield of Milner and Fernando in a CL tie against Barcelona.

It is very hard to understand wtf is going on there Laughing

Spending 5 hundred kagillion pounds doesn't mean jack shit if 99.99999% of that is spent on a new 4th choice striker every 6 months

Idiotic

Bump this up. PL last hope Molenation

Sergio Busquets looks to be out right? So Mascherano in, which gives me more confidence.

Only thing I really wish was for Kompany to be dropped. The lack of on the pitch communication by him is more disgusting than this multiple errors a game. Navas on the Bench as super sub & play with 1 striker in Aguero.

Something like this but with Demichelis + Mangala

When was the last time Messi scored a five?
Can't wait to see Messi thrashing them again.

bounce

Messi has until now scored 9 goals in CL. If he has to surpass Cristiano's record set in the last season he will have to score at least another 9 goals. So, I am betting on Messi scoring a 5 tonight. He won't get any easier opponents other than this City team.

:coffee:

lol calma. I expect Barca to go through but there will be no trashing. They still have respectable players, nothing to lose and Pellegrini's job might be on the line so they won't just concede 5+ goals. lol

Barcelona 2-4 Man City

Yes I do believe in miracles eco smile

by billy_gr Wed Mar 18, 2015 8:36 am

6 - 1 with a hat trick from Pique, the third goal being a bicycle kick

Well in that case they won't go out Laughing

They won't anyway but they sure as hell won't if they score 3 Laughing

pathetic! people underestimating this EPL champion is simply pathetic...

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Mar 18, 2015 9:45 am

Your overestimating them tbh, like you all did last year and every other year because they spent some money.

This jinx stuff is boring as hell, just say how you really feel none of it actually impacts a football result Laughing

Exactly

They haven't really improved their starting XI since 2011 when they singed Aguero, Dzeko etc.

by McAgger Wed Mar 18, 2015 9:48 am

Hoping Suarez singlehandedly knocks them out. Another brace please Luisito Proud

by Mr Nick09 Wed Mar 18, 2015 10:24 am

for this game im just curious to see who is going to be redcarded for city

by rwo power Wed Mar 18, 2015 10:26 am

Maybe Joe Hart for a change? Would draw some more high-profile discussion on this stupid triple punishment.

People who say this is over are the same people that were suggesting that we were going to have a walk in the park against Di Mateo’s Chelsea

Do you have any statistical proof of this or are you just making an unfounded statement?

Pls respond

by billy_gr Wed Mar 18, 2015 10:43 am

I have proof.
I have thoroughly maintained entries of all Barca related conversation throughout the years and I have developed a filtering system that searches history and fetches results.
Right now I have 17,3 accounts of people that implied that beating Chelsea would be a walk in the park while now they are maintaining the opinion that City is finished.
Maybe you are included in the list. Maybe not. The tension is killing me

so no proof then, pls go.

by billy_gr Wed Mar 18, 2015 10:49 am

you're not worthy of my proof

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Mar 18, 2015 11:48 am

Don't recall Chelsea coming back from 2-1 down home defeat to beat Barca tbh, they always had a lead except one time and they was at home the 2nd leg.

Quite the key difference, besides Chelsea have always been a team which can defend when necessary and make it difficult so a turnaround such as this would be possible for them.

City and their band of low IQ idiots? Not a chance in hell, it's quite clearly over and was when the draw was made lol.
