Pep should turn up in a trilbly hat with a big yellow ribbon.

Home grown number 2, doubt it .

Currently holed up in an underground Zizzi’s by the Eye, drinking a Diet Coke and googling the underground map. Thug life.

I think it was in Aguerians 93:20.

Lol good one

My missus has on her lucky superwoman knickers, so I reckon we’ll do Arsenal today.

(note: this post was cleaned up after several seconds of consideration of my missus lurking on here from time to time.)

I’m glad she still has them.

Very good.

I harbour a theory that she still thinks there’s a chance we’ll somehow run into Stevie walking around Deansgate and she’ll get them signed...

Looks like a nice sunny day in London judging by the CP Spurs game. Personally, I'd rather have Danilio starting ahead of Delph any day of the week so that does not bother me one jot. It's a pity that Sterling is not fit as that leaves us a bit short on attacking options unless Jesus is able to be on the bench?
Interesting to see our defence today, my concern is with Bravo in goal we are unlikely to be starting with a back 5 who have actually started together this season. Should have started on Monday v Wigan with the team that, barring injury, would be starting today.

If we play as we can we'll win but it wont be easy, Arsenal are capable of beating most sides on their day.
2-1 City, Jesus with the winner

I like Danilo, much more than others on here, but Fabian is the far better LB in our system for me.

That said, I could see why Pep would play Danilo over Aleks in this match, as we need a bit more athleticism to combat Arsenal’s likely counterattacking tactics.

Lovely blue skies. Hopefully a lucky omen. come on blues!!!!

 

[rnblade]

Should be quiet in London as most of them are in the swamp v Chelsea.
Getting jittery now. Just hope we turn up. If we do lose to a decent goal, it won’t be so bad to take.
Really want us to voice back from Wigan debacle and pick up the first trophy.
Come on CITY.

This would be hilarious.
