I counted one decent effort on the Real goal.

Fans a VERY unhappy with their team over on the Blue Moon match day thread.
Pretty crap season for MCFC by their latter day standards - despite winning the 'little' pot.
Wow, what are they on? Got to the last 4 in the CL alongside Bayern & Real, seems like yesterday we let Pompey win to send them down to div3.
What a shower.City played so slow.So different from our guys on bicycles,tearing down hairpin bends,or going off on a breakaway.Give me cycling and all the Classics every time.At least the guys and galls put some gut busting effort in.It's always a shame to see them get caught by the Peloton near the finish line.

Bit of a strange game I thought. Real on the counter were fierce but Man City had them broadly contained (despite Mangala being a bomb scare) yet never seemed to launch their own attacks with any real authority.
With only a goal in it in the 80th minute you'd surely think "F*ck it, losing by three makes no difference now, let's bomb forward."
I hope this is Atleti's year, they've been so close over the last few seasons. And I saw a tweet claiming they've beaten teams who've claimed 23 European titles to get to the final, compared to Real's 0, which is seriously impressive (if true).

I kept saying to Mrs Accy they'll(City)score in the 85th minute then sit back. They did the sitting back alright but forgot to score!

Aguero's rocket was the only thing that came close, but I reckon the keeper had it covered, just.

Our last match of the season is a sell out!
http://accringtonstanley.co.uk/2016/05/stevenage-sold-out/ Fans from loads of local clubs are turning out to support the Reds according to reports. Bury, Bolton, Blackburn, Burnley, Rochdale, Preston and even Liverpool and Everton fans have snapped up tickets! Our capacity is officially 5057, though i think the club have limited it to around 4750 for safety reasons. I'm nervous about this game. We're in the driving seat but the pressure is on us. Those below will be waiting for a slip up. Not only that but we play Stevenage, the club we've developed a strong dislike of over the last 10 years. I'm sure they'll be going out to spoil our party. Let's hope they don't succeed!

Well said Accy!
Never mind all this Premier league nonsense, the big question is can Accrington Stanley get promoted to League 1? I remember watching them in the lower leagues with only about 200 spectators there. They've consistently "overachieved" and if they do get promoted it is on a par with the Leicester success. "On Stanley On"

IF we do go up Ron, we'll have climbed from a pub team league to the third tier of English football in a long 48 years. I too think promotion for us will be on a par with Leicester's achievements! Every year since promotion 10 years ago we've been favourites for relegation. We have the smallest transfer,running budget in the Football League. Compared to those clubs up there with us we are tiny. Just like Leicester are compared to Tottenham, Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd etc.

This is the thing about City since they got the money, their expectations have gone through the roof and they have developed a deluded sense of entitlement. A City fan I know is always giving it loads about Everton not having won anything for 21 years, safe in the knowledge that they can outmuscle anyone financially and are more or less guaranteed success, but when that doesn't come, or when they only pick up the league cup, as per this season, it is epic fail.

Well done Liverpool - what a contrast to MCFC's miserable performance.
Klopp's good!
