I'm looking forward to this tie. All the best

Can't wait - hope you get turned over but think you'll win at home.

You guys confident you can stop Ronaldo & Bale etc?

What are you worried about the most from Real?

If we go pushing too far forward they will probably make us suffer on the break so a bit of caution is required. Always fear for the worse but hope for the best, we are the underdogs in the Semis which could be to our advantage. At 57 I never though I would see my team in a Champs League Semi Final so whatever happens its been brilliant.

Just as long as we don't try to go toe to toe with them.

Our MF and Aguero are good enough to nag a goal or two. The others should be mainly concerned with shutting up shop.

Otamendi and Mangala for me... They've earned the right to both start in this tie.

Vinny certainly didn't fill me with confidence against Newcastle.

I'd have Ota and Mangala too but just can't see Pellegrini having the bawls to drop Komany (like he did at the end end of last season)

Need the back 4 to stay on their feet. Anything else will have Ronaldo showing his skills, polished at the swamp, of heading to ground claiming a penalty. Bale certainly has some history of that as well so we cannot be giving them the slightest opportunity to do that. In an ideal world Ronaldo would be sent off for diving and be banned from the second leg.

I've consulted me crystal ball and he'll go into the game thinking he has to make amends and over stretch himself.

I agree re: Otamendi and Mangala, if Otamendi can stay on his feet and not bring stupid fouls near the area. Those two have been meh in the Prem, but recent performances suggests that they are more suited to the European stage.

They've both done well in Europe. As has Navas. Deserve to start rather than rushing Vinny back.

I don't see Yaya out as an issue for the starting XI, Fern and Fern seem better together this year. Delph providing the bench cover. I'd like to say start Zab but really not sure on that. He is a great option going forward but doesn't seem quite as sharp at his day job of defending as he was at the moment. Cannot be going gung ho at this lot or we could be 3 down in a heartbeat.

Don't blame it on Vinny
Don't blame it on Navas
Don't blame it on joe hart
Blame it on the 'Mendi

He just can't
He just can't
He just can't stay on his feet

He just can't
He just can't
He just can't Stay on his feet

Should be a cracking game tonight. Best of luck boys

(Grudging)Good Luck City. I hope you stuff RM home and away.

As for the final...well, let's not get too carried away

Champions league semi final just sounds bonkers.

Proper nervous haha.

Yes I will be booing the jingle
