I'm not confident about this game. Probably because we have so much riding on it and being a supporter for over 30 years I can just see it going tits up.

If we get through it with a win then this team really does believe and i'll tip my hat to them.

I can't deny that I feel the same, I am confident but I also have that horrible feeling that they will turn up because of that result against Leicester, that being said we certainly have enough to beat them, I think man for man we are a better side and our work ethic and togetherness is much better, barring any terrible luck we should win imo, I am worried we will get another dodgy ref performance.

we have the quality and application to win, and win well. we just need to believe it, in here as well as on the pitch.

fuck city, they look awful (cue a 5 goal hammering :ROFLMAO:). I just don't see us losing to anyone at the moment.

I think City will be a lot more nervous about this one than us. We have everything we need to beat them and we are on a roll. If we get it right we can do it, and do it well.

Just thought i'd look at the media sites, Skysports, BBC Football etc and I'm not even sure we played at the weekend.

On Saturday evening on the train home the BBC Football homepage ranked the news stories in the following order:

1) Leicester beating City (rightly so)
2) Southampton v West Ham latest score (ok - won't lose my shit over that)
3) Liverpool drawing with Sunderland (ffs)
4) Bayer Leverkusen v Bayern Munich latest score (definitely trolling us now)
5) Spurs go second (at last!)

If Liverpool had won they would have probably been the top story!

I don't think we are under this radar anymore dude, everyone is aware of our threat.
I think you right but I don't think they can bring themselves to admit it.
The Observer yesterday shouted about Leicester and Mahrez brilliance fires their title dream whilst we were a page behind apparently managing to stay in touch.

No pressure on us to perform either.

Much like Leicester really, we are in an unexpected position, going to City with no fear.

They made a mistake coming out and saying Pep is in charge from end of the season, not sure it's helped their club at all - if they end up winning the league I'd be very surprised now.

To be fair, the Liverpool game was more intriguing because of the protest and the fact that the team seemingly disappeared out of the stadium at the same time.

Throwing away a two goal lead like that was criminal.

Where as we were expected to beat Watford and did so. 2nd on GD at this stage is lovely for us, but I don't think it's as big a story... Yet.

Is that not accurate? If ourselves and Arsenal Win next weekend, people will count city out and deem it a three horse race.

But then all opposing goalkeepers always have their bame of their life, take Gomez, for instance, last saturday. If it was'nt for him score should have read something like 4/5 to us.

Believe guys, believe.

That's exactly what Leicester did.
I think this is the issue.
It's been known for a couple of seasons that we have improved to the point where playing defensive and counterattacking us is considered the safest option, especially as until recently we have struggled to break the tactic down.

We are just getting to grips with that, where as teams still go about Leicester like they're a bottom of the table team and don't deserve the respect of changing tactics against. It's poor management.
