Odd one travel wise today. No trams running through Piccadilly so it looks like the train or bus to and from Altrincham. How slow is that match bus, particularly on the return journey?

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

We need to start keeping clean sheets again consistently, we give away too many sloppy goals

Quite right mate, I wouldn't be at all surprised if brentford score from their first effort on goal

 

[jimharri]

So.....1-1 then??

If that's your definition of getting the job done, then yes.

The Boys in Blue never give in, they fight to the end. Come on City, come on City. Show 'em lads, show 'em all.
Especially the Brentford Nylons (I know they call themselves the Bees but sorry that's a Manchester thing, bees are ours!!) Sorry, back to the post:
Especially the Brentford Nylons who think because they were the last team to win at the Etihad they can do it today. Think again you silly Southern softies, think again. You are just a bunch of triers who are too big for your boots. Whoops what just flew across our immaculate pitch.... a pair of football boots.

Especially the know nowt, pathetic, unprofessional load of codswallop who think of themselves as the 'media'. What a load of balderdash, as if you know anything about Manchester City you mixture of barnacles on our stadium.

Especially the Specsavers needing, whistle blowing, fudge brain, nincompoops, who call themselves the 'officials' and think they are mother of pearl when really they are shitake mushrooms. Do you not know yet who we are you bunch of fools??

WE ARE MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD. So put that in your hornpipes and smoke it!!

(Sorry @jimharri forgot to warn you to cover your ears.)

John Boy get on that pitch. Pep do not leave John Stones on the bench today please. :-)

Looking at the votes so far we really are disrespecting this Brentford team. If the win this game they're level with us on points and will be in the CL places. People are talking about them as if they're relegation candidates.

We still haven't started clicking yet and Brentford have. They'll come here with a lot of confidence. Maybe we'll get to see Rodri today as we'll need him - he's had enough time off.

I'd take 1-1 against this very, very underrated football team then move onto the challenges over the next 4 weeks.

You'd take a draw?

We're unbeaten at home in the Premier League in 31 games (winning 25) and we're up against a team that are nothing more than decent and have lost their most influential player?

Cheers for the tram info mate.

 

[york away to this!]

Just tram as usual, change at Victoria.

Get the Bury tram mate and change at Vic for either an Ashton or Etihad service.

Says it’s 1h 12m but I presume that’s with no traffic.

I was in Alty this morning getting my barnet cut and thought about that his, but the train is only 25 mins plus a 25 min walk so is probably a little quicker so I got the train instead.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

I dread playing these, will be a tough un.
