Foden has to start. He's got a great record in big games and his energy + ruthlessness is required.

He should be ready after a couple of games off

Some great videos there but the memories of singing to ‘Hey Jude’ after the 1-0 are awesome. Everyone still in the ground singing at the top of their voice and the Utd fans forced to listen. No one went early that night.

Morning Blues...let's smash these cunts

 

[jaseisblue]

I want us to absolutely smash these shithouses into oblivion. The shit I endured at high school and when first going to pubs was on another level. I will never forget the red wankers would rib me for days on end. Then tell me how shit and insignificant we are. I hate them! 6 or more please blue boys.

 

[blue for life]

I hate derby day. I can (sort of) handle losing to most teams. Shit happens. And I've had 50+ years of handling defeats. But the thought that we could lose to that mob sickens me. And the fact that we're miles better than them now is largely irrelevant. We've been better than them for years now, yet our recent home record against them isn't great. I'm okay(ish) at the moment but, come kick off, I'll be a nervous wreck.

Yep detest derby day and can’t think straight until it’s all over. However this time if they fluke a win in the long term will be forgotten when we lift that trophy!

The 14 point gap gives us a lovely cushion, basically it is a free hit.

The reality is if we win our next 3 games in the next 7 days we will be sat on 74 points and the league will be over, I just cant's see the rags or Leicester getting more than 73.

I have a feeling we will line up like this today.
---------------------------Eddie-----------------------------
Walker------------Dias----------Stones----------Cancelo
----------------------------Rodri-----------------------------
--------------Gundo----------------Berny------------------
Mahrez------------------Sterling--------------------Foden

 

[Protein Junkie]

Nothing less than a comprehensive if not humiliating victory please. Expose them for what they really are - a decently average team propelled by a raft of suspect penalties.
A handful of posters say a draw may be ok - imagine the headlines - Superb Reds shatter City’s winning run - no thanks.
We have our heel firmly fixed on their throats.
Defeat for them pushes them ever further away from us.
Defeat for them brings Everton,Leicester and West Ham into the CL mix.
Defeat further exposes their limitations.
Now go and fecking hammer them blues

According to Vicky Gomersall on Sky "It's 1st v 2nd"

I guess Leicester don't count.

They must do this shit on purpose.

Or KDB instead of Sterling and that will do me!

 

[Hoghead]

I see ole has picked the diving squad for this match.

 

[Easy]

They are in a top 4 race not a title race so expect the parked bus.

Rags are 3rd, 2 points behind Leicester with a game in hand, Chelsea only 4 points behind them, Everton 5 points behind with a game in hand, West Ham 6 points behind with a game in hand.

We need to destroy them, it’s been a while but we need to embarrass them again. 4,5,6-0 please.

Demoralize them. Trigger the start of a collapse.

"Its the top versus second.."

Finger on the pulse yet again from the wankers.

 

[Impeccable One]

Went to bed 100% confident of win today, no way could we lose, woke up a fucking nervous wreck checking beer fridge to make sure enough to last till KO. We are better team, they are shite.....but a derby, a cup final and they will put a shift in! ...... did not help that when woke up my Mrs started questioning me .....Why I was saying the name 'Barbie' 'Barbie' in my sleep....who was Barbie? FFS get me a beer!

Just tell her you were dreaming of being at a barbecue in Australia with her on holiday

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

It'd be nice to see a cameo appearance and goal from kun just to stick the knife in. Foden will absolutely torment their defence.

 

[supersonicblue]

What's that quote responding to the noisy neighbour's jibe. Is it something like "they can't deal with the noise from above?"

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Ole will go all out defence for this.....they saved their legs for this game remember

Hopefully we smash the twats.

And the wonderful opportunity is that after the derby we play twice before rags or Leicester kick a ball again. So if we were able to win all three we would be 21 clear of Leicester and 23 clear of rags, albeit having played two more matches than them.

I am really hoping Foden starts, local lad bang in form and he will want this more than anyone. I have squeezed him into my line up because of this but god knows with Pep.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Usually derby day meltdown....going on the defensive here, concerned and worried about the fact every man and his dog are bigging up and blowing so much sunshine up Citys arse it's untrue. It's a fucking derby and form goes out of the window.
