Yeah, we've missed him on the right. Though Stirling has stepped up

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Owe them one for the dross earlier in the season…

3-0, El cid to boss the game, couple for Foden

 

[asahartford1]

As in when they won the last ever game at Maine Road and their fans took seats City supporters would have loved to have had.

Thought they were really good that day. They stayed on for the post match celebrations.
Probably heard the Oasis Whisper.

Those who post during the match I think. They have an expletive for all our players.

 

[applecentral]

Seriously.? Give your head a wobble. We've more rhythm than a band with lots of rhythm.

We got more rhythm than the whole rhythm and blues catalogue

To be fair mate most fans don’t. I think it’s predominantly used in the matchday forum by “fans” who tend not to go to the games.

 

[solley attwell]

Aren't they just.

I've still got a soft spot for Southampton and bobby stokes for beating the rags in 76

 

[wattle]

We won the old 2nd division in 1966 and Southampton were our last game opponents. The league already won we were ready to party. Bloody 0-0. Been a pain in the arse since.

Plus last game at main road ! Twats

 

[bluwes]

Wasn't to do with us being reluctant, it was the fact that Southamptons press completely baffled us. We couldn't move the ball through midfield.

Like I've said we're much stronger now. We didn't have Kev firing, Sterling was out of form and we had Ake at the back who's passing is nowhere near Stones/Laporte etc.

If memory serves , they didn't press our defence and keeper as others try. They pressed the midfield so Ederson and the defenders if they played the ball into central midfield, Rodri or Ferna, cant remember which, had 3 players closing them down, before they could release the ball

They didn’t have an away allocation

They didn’t have an away allocation

Really, they had none? I thought they were in the Gene Kelly celebrating their goal after the arguments before the game about whether they should get any tickets.
Memory getting worse for one of us. Probably me

No there was almost dead silence when they scored

Ye they did. But a reduced capacity as city took the whole of the North Stand for home fans
We actually got fined by the league
Saints claimed they could have filled their allocation as they were going to the fa cup final the week after

I’ve heard just as many negative comments at matches as I have on the match day forum.

 

[shroom]

Hasenhüttl had some good pts in his pre-match presser -> City has a whole week to prepare for just this game, City has no match for a week afterwards, Pep will have max-prepared, max potential squad, max effort performance at his disposal

The sad thing is that it actually started as a lighthearted joke to take the mickey out of those posters that always had a go at him in the matchday thread, and then it got flipped back on its head and here we are...

I sit next but one to the most moaning **** in the world at the ground, and it’s still nothing like as bad as the matchday thread

 

[TravisBickle]

I expect a good performance tonight after a good weeks rest.
I’ll go for 1-3 City..with Phil’s first hat trick for the club.

 

[mrtwiceaseason]

Just about to set off ,hope it's going to be worth the trek ,least we get 20 loyalty points.....
