Mad how the bookies have us as favourites for this match.

Yes the bookies know bugger-all about betting odds!

Their away record is actually better than their home record

All season, City have been lurching and staggering around like a drunk at a wedding. I expect this to be of a similar vein - flattering to deceive, thinking we've still got it and making gross errors of judgement in the public eye.

There might only be a dozen songs left before the DJ calls time and carriages depart in May. Can we find that 2nd wind? Can we step outside for some fresh air and a breather, tuck our shirts in and straighten the ties? Or do we plough on until it's too late - falling onto a catering table and barfing into the umbrella stand!

Bournemouth 2-3 City

Wouldn't happen. At least I hope not. Remind me though, who was it at Blackburn that day? Was it Joey Barton

I was only joking mate, that would never happen.

Indeed it was Mr Barton

For some reason, that's possibly tied to the amount of opiods I've currently ingested, I think we're going to twat them.
Someone is going to get a kicking off us soon and I feel it could be these

Ha, definitely the drugs mate.

A 50-50 game which I think might go all the way. I think if we lose this it will have a very negative effect on the race for CL. Confidence already brittle will be further eroded and that could prove fatal.

Kirkzi and the Huisen (sp?) been 2 if their best players

Well that’s some good news. That left back is pretty decent. Wouldn’t mind if we took an interest in him for the summer but probably klanfield bound.

I’d take both of them. Very good players.

Having thought about this for some time now, I have concluded that the form of KDB is not due entirely to injury and aging. Clearly there are other reasons for his fall off a cliff edge. The story of this season, if it is ever told in its entirety will be far more interesting than those fly on the wall documentaries we were fed in the good times.

Mr King got a new novel coming out as we know @EcclesBlue loves one of his books ;-)

Have you ever thought of going in for motivational speaking?

Play a very youthful team and get rid of the teachers pets who don’t or can’t run. I’d be tempted to play Carson as well.

Might need a bigger hook lol

Literally laughed out loud at this :-)

Why not play younger players. If we turn up with Dads Army it will be a repeat of the league game.

First off I noticed after I posted your OP was Tues I think so Maybe I shouldn't have posted so late in the day.
I kind of like what your saying but this is the last bit of Silver we can win this season and what signs has Pep given that he will trust a team of youth. Maybe Walker Jones Mannering and Pike will give us a last houraahhhhh :-)

Haha when Monty said " Now we press on To Rome" my grandad thought he said " we can piss off home " got arrested for desertion!

 

[SWPISHOME]

I wouldn't be surprised to see this game go to penalties.

That's it then.

 

[sarcastico]

I think they are missing Kerkez and Huijsen in their backline.

No reason City can't score multiple goals against KEPA and put this to bed early.

No geriatric players like Gundo, Bernardo please.

The one thing the Cherries have is a team full of runners and high energy. Their technical ability is scattered to only a few though.
