When I said 'amazing' I should have said 'crazy amazing'

But I fear this sort of stuff is is coming into play in the next year or so.

It will be a summertime game if Sky get their way irrespective of World Cups etc.
Yes apparently sky and the premier league are targeting the US and other foreign markets so expect a lot more of these time slots next year.

City fan I work with just said its been the worst week he's ever had supporting the club.

I'd love to have a week that bad which culminates in another chance to win the Premier League title. Have their fans completely forgotten where they were 15 years ago?!

he may only have been supporting them for a couple of months tbf.

I think increased expectations lead to greater disappointment when they're not met.

I liked the story about the older City fans singing "Where were you when we were shit" to the new ones. Whether it's true or not...

I doubt many remember this match less than 20 years ago!

Rose is out. Fuck. Davies in for him then. Aurier better start at RB.


For me, Davies and Trippier as full backs are a much better option. Rose is out of form right now, and Aurier...?

Sorry, I just don't rate him. Not even half the player Walker was. That's my view.

Trippier is suicide against City. That has been learned already this season.

Trippier and Davies are in great form but Aurier and Rose are better fullbacks.

I'd probably just go with Aurier with this match because of what happened with Trippier and Sane, but Aurier hasn't exactly been convincing defensively this season. He couldn't deal with Douglas Costa and Sane will pose a similar threat.

Who here would take a draw Saturday?

We are facing a wounded animal, and one who has real teeth.

If Pep leaves Aguero on the bench again, I think we have a real chance of getting a decent result, but if not, I personally would bit your hands off (and probably arm too) for a draw. Our run-in doesn't look too difficult and I would expect four more wins and maybe a couple of draws.

The good thing is that we don't lose very often and that's because we are very hard to beat these days. Haven't lost at home for nine months. Let's get Wembley rocking...!!

Wow. Amazing what a billion quid can do. Horlock, Goater and Dickov or Aguaro, De Bryune and Sane.

Two teams who don't lose very often. One has just lost three on the trot, the other hasn't lost for a while. For me, I think it'd be a massive surprise if they lost four on the spin so yeah, I'd take a draw big time.
