Will be interesting to see how Pep uses Cherki/Foden over the course of the year.

Hopefully we see them in the middle and still play two wide players. But will depend on the opposition and our own availability.

For me today should be the same side but with Marmoush in on the left for Doku.

Good old Lonnie he used to visit relatives regularly in Oldfield Brow (Altrincham) and always had time for a chat.

Had one of his sons as an entertainer on a cruise and he was superb.

Im very confident after that Wolves game however this reminds me of the game in 19/20 when we hosted them after a very big win away at a team starting with W. I know we are a far different team if not completely different team now but i just hope Pep gets it right. Would give me a load of confidence going into Arsenal and United in the next month or so.

I'd like to see Cherki get a start but not sure where, so many options. Would be good to have Reijnders, Cherki, Foden and Bobb swapping and making runs behind Haaland, would be mad to try to defend.

Spurs have been very good in preseason. And TF is a pretty good manager.

This feels like a tough early season battle to me.

 

[stonerblue]

I like their new manager and think he'll do a good job there.
We played the best footy of the weekend just gone.
THink this will be tight but we'll run out winners.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Just come in via the Greengate area/FCSCUM area, lots of roadworks etc.....find another route down to the ground.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Good vibes today.

4-1 City.

I hope so.. £7.50 at 20s :)

Have a feeling the transfer thread will be busy later, unfortunately.

One of, if not the biggest influence on a certain John Lennon I believe. Anyway, back to the thread in hand. C'MON CITY!!! Give these Chas n Dave wankers a good pasting!

Beef Jerky starts I hear

 

[bell_mcfc]

Hope Eddie is involved in the match day squad so he gets a send off as such.

 

[youngbob]

On the way to the game

Wonder if we'll see

Trafford
Stones, Dias, (3rd CB)
Bernardo, Gonzalez, Reijnders, Ait-Nouri
Cherki, Haaland, (Winger)

 

[The Colonel]

Down to the 3 Mariners pub in Tenby for this one in the seaside sunshine. Come on blues.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Totally different test to Wolves last week.

Wolves will be looking over their shoulder all season at the bottom 3 teams.

Spurs will be challenging for European places IMO.

Plus the cockney twats seem to have our number over the last few games.

I think they will jam their way to a couple of goals and we will snatch a draw.

 

[dickie davies]

Gonna be a walk in the park, 3-2

With a last gasp Mario penalty winner

 

[johnny crossan]

team news soon?

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Stuck in the tiny Spanish village of Deia with almost no chance of watching the game. Too far away from bars, and the hotel staff have no idea how to get it on the telly. Absolutely gutted.

Up the fucking Blues, anyway

 

[Russian Hat]

Down to the 3 Mariners pub in Tenby for this one in the seaside sunshine. Come on blues.

My dad used to go in there when we lived there in the 70 s. Tenby is decent.

This feels like a tough early season battle to me.

I think Thomas Frank is an excellent manager. He got Brentford in the Premier League and they have survived 4 seasons playing exciting football in the right way.

Anyway, today is the day we thrash spuds. Come on City!

4-1
