Apparently his partner is pregnant and it might be a situation like David Silva's. No one knows exactly so probably best not to joke about it.

Well said. Some very nasty, vile, sickening comments from the other lot fans around the time of David Silva went through a rough time with his partner and baby.

Certainly wouldn't want anyone joking about that sort of stuff.
Hope everything is ok with them.

No. 5 will always be the best one.

Sergio has made many a centre half look that way over the years!

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Dias is and has been fantastic but the wolves goal was his fault let's not be blinkered dropped to early. All 3 are fantastic players and yes I agree he is our leader but bigger games lie ahead and hes played a lot since he's come in might just need a rest

Need a rest? Wild horses...!

 

[sandiegoblue]

Not Leicester mate, I think their chances went with injuries to Justin, Maddison and Barnes. Chelsea runners up, hopefully West Ham and the blue dippers. Liverpool TWENTY TWO points behind us fucking lol

You are probably right about Leicester, but I hope they can hang in there because they just missed out to the rags last year. Either way, plenty of teams in the running to keep the rags and victims out of the top four.

No one was? I asked a question.

Have any of the media tried one of those combined XI's they like to do on the run up to the Derby. Would love to see which Rags players they would try to shoe horn in?
Genuinely wouldn't have a single one their squad at City. Maybe they should try a combined 2nd XI?

Didn’t one of the papers do a City and dippers one earlier this season and include SEVEN fucking dippers?

Edit just checked and it was the bbc (biased bastard cunts) sport website, 7 dippers, 4 City players, as recently as last month! Fucking lol, @ deluded, @ 22 points behind, @ worst champions ever

Derby Day bets. Who is having one?

I only ever bet on Derby Day and the National. Nothing else. Bit of a tradition. Used to be to calm the nerves for Derby Day, but these days those nerves border on the non-existent.

Anyway, 2 bets.

1 a sensible one of 3-0
2 a play about of 5-0 with a Mahrez hat-trick, pays out £4.5k on a tenner.

Biggest call is Kev. We struggle with the counter when (a) he is not on form and (b) he plays a high risk passing game. I would leave him on the bench until we have control. West Ham and Wolves had chances because we lost possession cheaply mainly through Kev & Sergio.

He is not needed for this game and will only put us under pressure on current form.

Foden,Gundo, Bernie, Cancelo, rodders, Jesus needed to nullify the only threat from the rags.

imo no Kev and no Sergio until we have the game won or if its not working with plan A.

Pep was referring to this after the Wolves game, although not directly at Kev. He was saying that we need to be more patient on the build up.
The other option is to play Kev as a false 9 which would lower the risk of a counter attack from his high risk passing game as he would be higher up the pitch. Utd have always struggled when we've played this system.

You could probably get the same odds on picking Pep’s starting 11! Who the fuck does he leave out? Commentators and pundits moan about our bench and say it’s about money, but it’s fucking not, it’s about spending money wisely, not on wasters like Pogba, Maguire, Van der Beek etc. Nearly all of our players are worth more than we paid for them, apart from where we have had years of use out of them and they may have depreciated due to age

Ha, very true. He has messed my fantasy football on plenty of occasions! Got a good feeling about Mahrez though.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

I can see us doing the shit 5-1

If we put Kev in as the false 9, we will hammer them

this is how we need to line up against them

 

[hihosilva]

Ederson
Walker Dias Laporte
Fernandinho Rodri Cancelo
Gundagan
Foden Debruyne Sterling

I’m fortunately going to be at the match so if you over heat some delirious screaming as each goal goes in that will be me, I hope we smash them.

Play this, we will humiliate them

 

[simmo]

Must be the derby as the bbc website always need a negative article in build up. So predictable with the headline and subject. In reality the word ole should be in there !

Is Aguero on his way out ?

 

[richards30]

Any reason after plenty of rest this week and his form being so good that people are dropping Rodri? And there’s no way Kev will be dropped either imo

If you look back over recent weeks most players drop in out every couple of games. Gundogan was un-dropable a few games back but has been dropped to the bench. Foden was similar.

Wouldn't surprise me if FFS was dropped. Pep is balls deep in rotation this season.
