Talksport have balanced it up, by having Niaill Quinn on ;-)

I thought, maybe they're gonna balance out the build up over the days leading up to it then. Today I'm greeted by Dwight Yorke's preview on my screen *facepalm* - nothing on us. They're social media is also all rag sided, articles from Schmeichel, Ibra and Ibra's agent all saying Pep is overrated.

It's not that I'm surprised, it's just annoying that people who work there must recognise all their build up is one-sided when probably the biggest thing about good sports coverage is balanced reporting/viewpoints etc. It's annoying that they see this, know this and don't see a problem with it.

I will go for this:

Noltio-------------De Bruyne-----------Sterling
--------------Silva------------ Gundogan-----------
---------------------Fernandinho-------------------
-----Kolarov-- Otomendi---Stones-------Sagna
------------------------Bravo------------------------

Gundogan if deemed ready plays not as a DM but as the all round midfielder, can keep possession and will slot in nicely alongside Fernadinho. KDB has played as the focal point before in aguero's absence and can do it again for me. Leaving Nolito and sterling to get down the flanks.

I'd go with that, Clichy for Kola though and if Ota isn't 100%, Vinny (if 100%).
 
Fed up of hearing how pepe wil struggle, that the premier league is so much harder and completely different to any other league, i would love us to walk it this year and win every game. The premier league will hate this myth to go up in smoke though
 
Sterling , silva and nolito are all in top form . Peg will be more worried about how to contain them than us with ugly nose.
We all know from the man himself said, one cross one header one goal. So vinny would be fantastic if he is fit .if not just press them and give no time to cross .
Let's see how peg will deal with it.
Come on city
3-0 city
 
The way the so called experts are predicting we might as well not turn up and just give them the 3 points. ! Think I will give up on tv and papers until I can read all about our win on Sunday !

That's my team.

People say too early for Gundogan but he has been training for 3 weeks and I believe they had an hour game last week so if he came out of that OK and had a further week training on top he is good to go. And he has big game experience unlike Sane so shouldn't faze him at all.

Mine too. No out and out striker. Swarm their defence.
 
is anybody else feeling STRANGE it does not feel like derby week??? maybe its to early in the season or the media hype with both managers is taking the pressure off but i don't feel under pressure and if anything to feels just like another game. am not being big headed or anything and derby games are different but win lose or draw we have a bigger picture to paint this season. we are not the finished article and 2 of our big signings have not kicked a ball for us yet so again its not being big headed but i feel STRANGE

And the Twat of the day award goes to peter schmeichel for his statement that Pep is Lucky and also boring, failing to provide entertaining football.

schmeichel is a proper fucking "try hard" these days. He regularly embarrasses himself with absolute nonsense like this such is his desperation to make it up to the united supporters for playing for us. He really is a ****.

Schmeichel is spouting off shit now, saying pep will be found wanting. Everyone's entitled to there opinion, but fucking hell. How many times have we heard that over the past six months?

It will subtly change from this to "is getting lucky" to " bought the league" to "will be impossible next year" as time passes

All they give a shit about mate is click through's to there websites, the more controversial they are the more hits they get.

having said that the hypocrisy is on another level with them lot, to a man they all wanted Pep as manager-even whisky breath was licking his arse and now all of a sudden Peps become a mard arse and plays boring football-its character assassination.

Ladyman-the story twisting twat was spouting it as gospel that Pep left Barcelona because he couldn't handle Pep when the truth was it was just the pressure on him at Barca fronting the club on non footballing matters-he made it quite clear when he arrived at City that he is a coach and coach only.

Funny how they are not having a go at PEG for his eye gouging and belittling a female doctor at Chelsea isn't it-shit houses the lot of them not reporting it.

Its a fucking shit house club supported by even bigger shit houses.
 
In all my time as a City fan i dont think i have seen such a one-sided build it to a derby as this one....

Lets hope we actually humiliate them and come out with the 3 points and watch the rag infested media vanish.

Exactly right, I was going to mention that masterclass myself, one of the best performances I've ever seen from an opposing team at the Etihad.

3:10 secs of total football, including Lahm's tackle on Navas to win the ball back, only to be ended by Nasri's Lunge. One of my favorite sporting moments. It could very well be us doing this to other teams in years to come

Even if they do win the battle on saturday we will win the war
 
That was incredible. I don't know that our players are quite patient enough for that just yet, but from the beginning of the clip to the end, you could just see the energy level of our players dropping due to having to defend for so long without a break.

Forward to when we win... Press release
Aguero wants to leave,
Yaya's gone back home,
Kompany is banging bravos wife

But who cares... I'm gonna be too pissed to notice ;-)

I was actually thinking of the game at the Etihad when Muller played up front and from memory Bayern were playing in Grey? Some United fan speeded the coverage up and set it to the Benny Hill music. Quite amusing actually for a rag.
