I think there's no need of risking any important player today, an injury today could be very costly...

I keep forgetting we are champions already , nice to win it with games to spare but on the other hand a last day by a point is lovely if cardiac arrest inducing !

You jinxed , again ;)

Jo or Benjani?

Benjo

I've alluded to it before but I'm now convinced this is a rag wind-up account and it's going on ignore. Absolutely embarrassing to post nothing but negative doom mongering after we've just won the league and we're on for a treble. If you have nothing but misery following Pep's City maybe sport isn't for you.

It’s Fordyboy46 burner account for when they want to go ultra negative instead of the bog standard negative.

 

[i went to rotherham]

I wouldn’t bet on that ; )

He would !

Just had it confirmed that Ivan Tony isn’t in the Brentford squad for todays game

I have confirmed Ivan Toney has a few bets on the match.

Not overly happy with how many will be playing their first minutes in weeks come the FA Cup final

Just had a look back at our 1936/7 season ,the year of our first ever title win

Played Brentford away on April 3rd,beat them 6-2( Peter Doherty scored two) in front of 37,000 spectators...prob not a chance we 're create that scoreline this afternoon..

Maybe more realistic is the 2-1 win we beat the same team 4 days later at Maine rd,Doherty scored again,in front of a smaller crowd of 25k.

These old fashioned ( Easter?) double headers seem crazy nowadays
and Brentford in the top flight all those years ago..just shows each club has its own rich history ..not necessarily appreciated by opposing fans.

Today..? 2-1 City World cup winner brace.

I agree mate, thought the lads should at least get some game time and abit of proper running in their legs

OMG this is a disaster if true!!!!
KDB, Dias, Grealish should certainly play today to gain some game rhythm but now, if this is true, it will not happen so they will go to FA Cup game without any rhythm.
Even worse of course if they have some minor injury and some of them will not even play. I do not want to think about it :( :(

Damn, things were rolling so well, I wonder wth happened after Real Madrid game here and those injuries came up?!
Fingers crossed....

Disaster is a bit dramatic

As for Grealish, he has played a LOT of football for months. Although I think momentum is important, I don't think it would do him any harm to sit out a few games and get refreshed for the finals.

Either way, I'll trust the judgement of Pep
