I thought same mate, sticks in throat but fortunately it was never going to change destiny of the title.

It wasn’t mate but it nearly did last season. Mind you keepers were dropping balls into their own nets v dippers for fin last season, place, spurs, Everton

 

[Blue Smarties]

I assume the club have told Sky Sports that their employee will not be granted access to the stadium after he broke lockdown rules and was in close contact with members of the public within the last x7 days?

Play the fittest/strongest team and we can rest players for Southampton , shame its behind closed doors the Dippers shit themselves last season , never seen so many "quality" players kick the ball into touch for the first half hour. The sterile atmosphere will suit our game , we are far superior technically , Sir Jordan will have to be replaced at half time with twisted blood
We will have to beware of their Wimbledon tactics , 60 yard hoofs over our back four every few minutes , but the great thing about the Dippers is they dont have a plan B , so Pep knows exactly how Klippety will play.

Was it his 2nd red of season?

He was sent off against Villa earlier in the season.

2-0 to City.

 

[urban genie]

Looks like it's registered as a two match ban on the FA's website

Yeah suspended until 5th July now I have checked, luckily Garcia is back in training so available

 

[shevtheblue]

Was really looking forward to Sane tearing AA another arsehole again, he is shit scared of Sane. Bit of a shame that he hasn't been given much game time, Sterling generally doesn't get much out of them.

I think Gundo was, maybe with KDB, our MOTM against Newcastle and i thought that double pivot they created suited our play a lot. I'd go with that again, maybe swap Dave for Foden so we have more legs and Bernardo for Mahrez for the same reason.

Sky will take it seriously no doubt.

Yeah, he is the only one who consistently has great games vs Liverpool. Doubt he'll start though.

Get Ederson a skull cap.

I swear to fucking God, if City let this fucking spitting horrible **** in to our ground, and bend over to Sky, after he’s come in to contact with god knows fucking who, risking contamination of OUR stadium and staff, then I have lost all faith in the club. We would deserve whatever dicking the media and UEFA want to give us for being such pussies.

 

[dobingsdobber]

IMO, they cannot beat our points record with credibility

Even if they do,don't forget,as the old saying goes; The original is always the best.

 

[kenzie115]

Difficult this game. I don’t want to lose to them but I don’t want our players picking up injuries for a pointless game. Cup games are more important.

I can see a few snide kicks at our players too Liverpool would rather we win Fook all this season so going into next year confidence will be down.

pep can just play the kids for me

They'd have to kick us bloody hard to make us forget we've already won the League cup.

 

[Bluethemaway]

Will the FA/Premier League/VAR change the rules of football for theses dirty, cheating, snide bastards again ?

 

[bluetonium]

Should be up for this, two best teams in the premier league and we have a point to prove. But somehow I'm not fussed. League is done, and doesn't feel like the showcase event it should be because of no fans, and of course, var's influence on the reverse fixture.

A confident Sane up against Arnold would be fun, I blame Arnold in part for him getting injured - he couldn't handle him and got pissed off, and lashes out a few times - but may be that sane himself doesn't fancy it. He wants to keep fit, not go up against a petulant full back who often gets the referees protection.

It's be nice to not get beat, had enough of scousers (and the media) telling me that this season eclipses anything that has gone before, and would like to stop them getting a century. But I just worry var will have its say yet again.

Liverpool fans last season: one champions League defeats a thousand premier leagues

This season: one premier league defeats a thousand champions leagues

Don’t give a fuck if it’s sad - just sent this to the club;

Good morning,

I’m a lifeline supporter of City, and I’m not sure who this needs to be flagged for the attention of.

A Sky employee, Jamie Carragher, has been photographed walking around with a mob of people; showing a blatant disregard for social distancing and by extension showing a lack of care or empathy for anyone whom he may imminently come in to contact with.

As a match going supporter, it is my belief that our club has a duty to protect;
- its staff
- its players
- medical staff in attendance at games
- other members of the media
- all of the aboves’ families

And that these people and their health need to be prioritised over Sky’s financial might and Jamie Carragher’s apparent selfish immaturity.

I would ask that this is investigated as a matter of urgency prior to Thursday nights’ game.

As a member of the public, I would have to self isolate for 14 days if I had done similar to Jamie Carragher. It will be an outrageous act of negligence on behalf of MCFC if he is allowed in to our stadium, when he can’t even abide by social distancing measures.

I’ve included a link to the tweet which includes a photo of him surrounded by other people.

Please can this be forwarded urgently to management in health and safety (or whoever is leading City’s response to COVID-19), and please can I be copied in?

Kind regards, Phil

As long as they dont knock one in from 25 yards in the first 10 mins (as they keep seeming to) we should win and outplay comfortably

Nothing sad about it, well said.

Would be interested to hear if you get a response.

 

[pavelsrnicek]

I hope we see Foden and Garcia start this one. I think we’d find out far more about how ready they are to play consistently at the top level of the game by playing the likes of Liverpool.

It'll be blah blah blah SKY chose who they want & City have no say in who comes to work on the game....if he gets a reply.

For my money there should be nobody apart from camera operators & technicians from sky in the ground. The rest can watch on a screen like we have to do.
