Not sure if you’re joking, but are bookmakers actually offering odds on cancellations?!

I wasn't joking as it happens :) Not really a scooby on the second part of your question but I think they'll give odds on anything generally.

Rag paper who put them ahead of City on their banner. What happened to alphabetic order you utter twats.

My case rests:-

I would have concerns about playing both Zinchenko and Cancelo. They both go forward pretty well and both push into midfield but When Zinchenko plays Cancelo plays as a more traditional full back which nullifies some of his strengths. He’s nowhere near as good as a defender as Walker but he’s a better defender than Zinchenko.

I’d like to see Ake at left back and Cancelo right. Means Cancelo can push on and Ake plays as a more traditional left back. We could also use the extra height against Brentford.

Cancelo played pretty well at Newcastle and also managed to get forward a little bit

after liverpool lose last night this is now a biggest game of the season and city should go strong in the line up
show intent.. show we are champions and put a stamp on the season and league table. we show how much the title means to manchester city and this is the level you have to reach

no away game in the premier league is a given and respect and home work will be done by pep and the players
brentford will be right up for this and the city players will have to earn the points like always

It will be tough tomorrow. They will have seen how Leicester cut through us and have the players to do something similar. I can't see us getting away with another iffy performance. We'll need to be at our best to win.

6 goals in a Premier League game was an "iffy performance"?

Does that honestly upset you ??

Yeh they are missing 11 first team players so far!

Hopefully our team will remember the defeat at Norwich when they also were extremely understrength and not get complacent

What's the craic with Rodri, has it been discussed?
