Apparently it’s not illegal, it’s come from probably the most bent sport out there, cycling. There’s several personnel associated with top flight teams who have been involved in top flight football teams. Pep got rid at Bayern, tells you all you need to know.

Heading off in 10 minutes, train to town, plenty of liquid in and around the northern quarter.
Feeling nervous ( I always do) let's get at the geordie hipocrites from the first minute, get it put to bed by half time, then I can relax, add a few more goals in the second half to boost the goal difference and bobs your uncle.
Cmon City let's be loud and proud and bring the points home.

Just having a bacon barm then doing the same, bit twitchy about this one.
 
I think Pep will do:

Eddie
Cancelo Dias Laporte Ake
Rodri
KDB Bernardo
Mahrez Grealish Sterling
 
This is one of those rare occasions where playing second could turn out to be really beneficial as we desperately needed that shot in the arm of Liverpool dropping points before we played this game.

Can't afford to be complacent though. I remember in 2018/19 when we lost, against Newcastle ironically enough, and everyone was handing the title to Liverpool only for them to drop points the following night at home to Leicester.

A repeat of 2013/14 when Liverpool lost 2-0 to Chelsea and we capitalized immediately by going to Selhurst Park and winning emphatically would really dampen their spirits.

I don't like how some fans are thinking we are going to win by 3 or 4 goals and assuming this is a forgone conclusion. Newcastle are bang in form with 5 wins out of the last 6 and that was a narrow defeat to the dippers. They have had a full week's rest and have nothing to lose today, Eddie Howe has them playing some good football and they have the tools needed to cause us a lot of problems.

A number of our players look to be understandably very tired at the moment and carrying knocks.

I would like to see us come out and be at their throats from the first minute but I just can't see it.

I'd take a scrappy 1:0 win now.

I'd take that too, but only at the end of the match, not sure my nerves would be comfortable with that during the actual game.

Jesus for mahrez maybe

I was thinking the same, but to be fair he has started the last 6/8 and came off the bench for another so involved in 7/8 of the last games. But then maybe Pep will want to capitalise on his good form? Who knows haha bit of gambler's fallacy coming into play perhaps
 
Will be watching the women in 40 mins on the fa player. Hope they get a resounding victory and champs league football. It will set the tone for the rest of the afternoon. Come on City, both teams!
