SACKED IN THE MORNING
YOURE GETTING SACKED IN THE MORNING

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Come on City - finish the sour faced, dipper tw*t off - don't allow him a reprieve.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Alvarez has to start

Keep up the momentum.:)

 

[yeah whatever !!]

COME ON CITY !!

S

Thinking haaland could be rested with the sevilla game in midweek but how can you not play him when he's in this form

Should be dropped……not enough touches.

Saying all that I hope for a good win and a clean sheet, no doubt Stevie will have fired his lot up for this one, it seems to be his Waterloo game.

That will be the week after against Leicester. Villa v. City will be (to quote the Guardian on Alf Ramsey's sacking many years ago) only his Clapham Junction.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Quite a big match for Hooper (36), rarely involved with top5 sides.
Was poor in my book Soton away back in January (1-1).
But the way we play we'll be fine I suppose.

Referee: Simon Hooper.
Assistants: Adrian Holmes, Dan Robathan. Fourth official: Peter Bankes.
VAR: Mike Dean. Assistant VAR: Lee Betts.

My addled memory says it the Witton Arms is the away fans pub

Can anyone confirm

 

[Brunswick Blue]

I tend to respect every team we play against, I guess some magical thinking deep inside of me tends to think that if I am confident City will only let me down, but isn't that the joy of being a City fan, knowing that any game is not a given knowing that we are fallible, we have off days we make silly mistakes, we take our foot of the gas

Saying all that I hope for a good win and a clean sheet, no doubt Stevie will have fired his lot up for this one, it seems to be his Waterloo game

I wonder if we have anyone in the academy called Nelson?
