Very tough game. Funny how Forest downed tools against Everton and got beat. They were flying against us

No team under Dyche is flying..

 

[pride in battle]

We've won our last 3 up there but there was a time around 2009-2012ish where we lost 4 in a row 1-0, so wouldn't be a huge shock.

Fancy us to follow the more recent runs of wins though.

I know sickening, the extra time winner, their only shot on target i think ?

On a serious note that's pathetic.

Sky Sports Main Event for TV. 8pm KO. No weather warnings that might call the game off.

Guardiola confirmed midfielder Rodri is back and "maybe can play a few minutes". Meanwhile, Jeremy Doku is also a "maybe", but John Stones and Oscar Bobb are unavailable.

I have seen it before.

City are such a big game that teams give their all to chase and harry, playing a few days after they are goosed.

Sunderland doing a very good job at home this season of beating the teams they're meant to beat and then following the "if you can't win, don't lose" philosophy in bigger games.

They've beaten West Ham, Brentford, Wolves, Bournemouth, and Newcastle, all of whom have been shit away from home this season. But they've held on against Villa, Everton, and Arsenal.

Just... until that Leeds game. That's the first home result they've had this season that you could call a slip-up. Leeds were the better team throughout as well. Them missing so many players could hurt them tonight.

Hoping we've got too much for them.

 

[youngbob]

They were poor against Leeds. If we finish the game with Leeds' stats (in blue) we'll win comfortably imo.

If we can finish with similar stats.

Same when we played them there on Boxing Day. The operator said they were not given a subsidy so would have to run them at a loss, but the Metrocentre subsidised their own route and SAFC didn't.

It use to be on tonite but unfortunately aging has taking its toll

In a boozer called Vesta Tilleys in city centre watching the early match

Rammed but no city fans. Cheap as chips
