First time for ages I voted draw instead of win.

But I don't know why.

Too much time on the matchday thread.
 
Local knowledge: Bournemouth fans still hurting from the tonking we gave them at the Etihad, so expecting a hostile atmosphere. They are about the same level as Brentford, so don’t take anything for granted, then we move into the most tricky part of the season….
 
I maybe wrong, but I don’t see Bournemouth parking the bus like Brentford. Whatever set up we face, City need to move the ball quicker. Hopefully a fast start and quick tempo like the Brentford away game and we should be ok.

My first opportunity to watch City in the Pep era. I live in Bournemouth and as a pensioner I can’t afford to attend City home games even if tickets are available. Also Bournemouth home tickets are rarely available, the ground is tiny by Premier Leagues standards, but my stepdaughter and her partner have bought hospitality tickets for my birthday, bless them. I hope the defence turn up because they have a couple of dangerous strikers, but my biggest fear is jumping up and down when City score because I will be among the home fans.

Hope you have a great and successful day pal

It maybe many things at Bournemouth, but hostile isn't one of them.
We been in far more intimidating places than the Vitality Stadium and survived.
Enjoy your day in hospitality,supping champagne and eating caviar ,whilst us plebs will be in our bog standard seats on the side.

Get to your seats as the stand is filling up, take your City scarf, bobble hat and rattle. Face the Bournemouth fans and shout "come on you dirty northern bastards!" Yeah there are "rules" about fan behaviour among the home crowd but this is genteel Bournemouth not Millwall. Any trouble just proclaim you're an FOC and say leave me alone.
Enjoy the day and City's win.

Away games are more open although not my much! We play better away.
 
I think my favorite Bournemouth game was the Centurions year when we came off a drab draw with Everton where (I think) Kyle was sent off. Chris Daniels scored an absolute screamer that he will never reproduce in 10 lifetimes. Very tough game and Raheem won it for us in stoppage time. Epic celebrations and Raheem got second yellow for joining in with the fans. Little did we know, first of 18 wins on the spin

Would prefer a little less drama. Just reading Peps City and just got to place where they talk about that game being pivotal.
 
See if KDB is doing an all out, full training session today. If yes, he'll play a part if not full 90 mins. Maybe not start at Luton and only come on if necessary, ready for the rags.

Pep said it was just precautionary and we were being careful with his re-integration. Any doubts though, he doesn't play.

When you get to your seat take your shirt orf and go bare chested.....it’s gets quite warm on the coast at this time of year.

Also don’t forget to sing “ and we will fight for evermore because of Derby Day “

Enjoy !!

Agreed.

If he's not 100% then no chance he should play at all. Too many huge games coming up and we need him available.
