Small crowd expected.

Foden is surely the first name on the team sheet ?

I realize we have been battering them recently, but starting with 10 players is probably taking the piss!

Best team, use all the subs, against Arsenal. Play the second team, use all the subs, against Burnley on Monday night. Then, back to best team (with about a week off) for the Chelsea game.

From there, play best team against Newcastle and Liverpool, as they should all be match fit and ready.

The good thing is that “who is in the best team?” isn’t an easy answer at City, so that helps with team changes.

Unlike some, I will be very interested to see the games, but like many, my primary focus is the two Cups. We aren’t going to win the League, but it would take a complete collapse to not qualify for CL, so secure that with a few wins, beat Newcastle, and we start to shape up for the sharp end.

I estimate the attendance at 00001. Not sure how I feel about it at the moment, especially since I found out that it is only on SKY! I'll think about it nearer the time. :-)

as long as its not turned into a clap for carers, take the knee bollocks, i just want a couple of hours away from all the shit thats going on and watch a game of footy and if anyone lifts their shirt to reveal some effing slogan have a sniper on standby!
3-0 City

 

[St.Pauli support]

Shouldn't we apply for a safe standing trial with 2 or 3 blokes ;)

 

[WickyWain]

I wonder how many of the people who voted don't care will actually end up watching the match

 

[york away to this!]

Of course I'm interested as it's city and will watch, though the desperation to restart the season no matter what has left a very sour taste.

As others have said I shall give this a similar level of being arsed as I would a preseason friendly. Having said that, if the scousers lose the first five of their games back...

Is he in goal?:) Wasn't bothered but looking forward to watching a bit of football now. Many say they aren't bothered bet the match thread is still a mess though.
We were dropping off shopping for an old man still isolating the other day and he was asking when it started and is looking forward to watching some football, so I get the criticism but lets not forget those still stuck indoors that might get some relief from it.
