Let's get Back on Our HorseAre we all still gutted, yet feeling shafted at the same time, but really you cannot believe we could not defend for a few minutes, of course we are but, as we have no history there is nothing more to say. Newcastle United the new upstart in town and yet to feel the brunt of the snidey weevils and lead swingers (including themselves of course) who will attempt everything to stop you joining the party and to try and alleviate the problem have added more chairs to the game of musical chairs. Eddie Howe a young manager with bag of potential and possibly a future England Manager has brought Newcastle to life with a few well chosen transfer has transformed them from potential relegation candidates to respectable mid table team. They come to the Etihad with warning all over the place that they will win the title for Liverpool™failed in the hope that City will be so gutted from their exit from the Champions League that they will implode and lose all their matches until the end of the season, whilst not saying those exact words the inference is clear enough. Shaun Goater and Steve Howey will be special guests on this weekend’s Matchday Live show, offering their thoughts before, during and after the action at the Etihad www.mancity.com, whilst Alistair Mann and Andy Morrison will take you through the match with their live audio commentary.
Pep's Preview
on whether he is hungrier now to win titles: "No, I am always starving. I cannot spend a year just thinking about how happy I am. If we had won the CL it would be the money we spend, not how hard we work. The players don't realise now but it's [losing] a gift for us. I'd love to win the CL and be in the final but we have to be better from what happened in Madrid."
on whether they can focus more on the league now
"The focus will be exactly the same because the potential final would have been after the Premier League. The Leeds game was difficult and after this we knew it would be four finals.
"I'm not thinking about the title, I'm thinking about Newcastle, focus on the team and Eddie Howe.
"Kevin de Bruyne is available. He's good. It was tactical [to substitute him against Real Madrid)."
“We were close (to reaching the Champions League final) and could not do it.
“The players wanted to play again in the final of the Champions League.
“But for this club to compete against Real Madrid was a joy. Don't forget how well we played a week ago here. But we could not do it.
“We were good. I said after congratulations Liverpool and Madrid because they deserve to be in the final.
“Next season we will try again and if it doesn't work we will try again. This is when we are a club that is good.
“Name all the clubs in Europe, the big ones, they are there every year.
“And we are there every year now. We didn’t achieve it, yeah okay.
“Next day we will do it. Good moments we celebrate, bad moments more sad than usual.
“Madrid are in the final because they deserve it. We were not close enough, but we were there. Next season we will try, knowing it is so difficult.”

Time to saddle up. Wise words from Pep. I especially love the third sentence in his first quotes. He absolutely gets it and is on the same page as we are - in that sentence I also get the feeling he knows there is a dark agenda to find ways to undermine the work at MCFC but is not going to buckle and give up
