I'm not 100% sure we get past Brighton FFS.....

I'd hate to play them in the final.....

That final will depend a lot on how much is left to play for for each team. If city are taken the wire in the league and they’re into a CL final….meanwhile, maybe we’re ok for 4th and out of Europa and we can rest a few.

I also think a lot will depend on us beating Brighton. Saw a stat the other day that no team has ever won a final after being knocked out in the semi final

After ordeal of that Liverpool quadruple hunt last season I honestly can't be bothered worrying about this

There's still a lot of matches to go
I'll worry about it more if its on come the end of the season

If they end up playing Napoli for the CL at least Napoli supporters will turn it into a home game. The bert’s would get eaten alive atmosphere wise.

That’s some massive chunks of comfort that City will lose the atmospheres. Happy days.

Can’t cope with the thought of them winning the treble. £#%&!ing hell. Half of the country will be submerged in a sticky tsunami when the football journos allow themselves a gleeful release at this incredible achievement.

Still, great news about the arsenal fans eh.
Yeah, now it's becoming more likely, I'd even let 'Troopz' move in with me and nail my wife every night than see the Treble violated by City.

It’s not being obtuse. It’s literally irrelevant what kind of atmosphere the Napoli fans make ffs.

i still think arsenal will get themselves over the line.

city have a great chance of winning the cl, but it's where they always come unstuck. no one really expected chelsea to beat them in 2021 but that tournament has always been their achilles heel, and pep's too since he left barca.

it's up to us to stop them from winning the fa cup, which could go either way as evidenced by our two games against them this season. we have a good chance of winning it for ourselves, but we also have a good chance of yet again rolling over for them.

Having the crowd has its uses, much like playing at home. Out of the teams left Napolis would be able to turn that to their advantage more than may imo.

You’re the one pissing and moaning about a game we aren’t even guaranteed to play yet, Pal.

Meant more if we’re out already. They could end up with loads of games around a final. We could. Or both might be knocked out. That’s why I’m saying we’ll have a better indication nearer the time.

Feels like we’ve gone into most big games this season far less fresh than the opposition. Liverpool A, Newcastle A, Arsenal A, Cup Final…. Be nice if we could actually have a kinder schedule and maybe have our league spot wrapped up with a couple of games to spare.
