I think people have a funny idea of what it means for the bookies to be right, it means that favourites should win more frequently than second favourites who win more frequently than third favourites etc. Not that the favourites always win.
The bookies don't do right or wrong. They just do profit. Any bookie worth his salt, wins whatever the outcome.

Just need to tell him we love and admire him greatly - so much so we even named one of our stands after him.

Am I the only who can't help thinking there is a shock on the cards with this one!?
Everyone keeps talking about us being the best team in Europe etc. I've got a bad feeling this could end up a draw

His last moment reffing us was not giving the most blatant penalty ever in the 93rd minute of the 0-0 draw against Everton. Stones on Sterling

So much negativity about this match. We are one of the best teams in Europe, we are playing at home and we will win by at least two clear goals.

This definitely has the potential to be a banana skin.
Their away form, our lads looked a bit knackered in the last 15 minutes after flying high for over a month, some players need a rest, everyone thinks we are unbeatable and the new Barca after a handful of games and the unbeaten record are all painting this as a “City moment,” where we manage to buck the odds and revert back to what we have been so many times before.
Here’s hoping this doesn’t become a “Typical City” moment!!
TBH, give me a 2-0, without them getting a sniff, and I’ll be ecstatic. However, it could well be another 5-0, such is the ability of this squad of players.
I’m mindful that the Napoli game was on a Tuesday and that Pep may well NOT rest players for this game, knowing that many of them will virtually have a week off, for the first time in a long time. The sports science guys will have an excellent idea of who is and is not fatigued, worn out, etc...and maybe Pep sees this game as one where we need to get ahead and only then get the rest they need.
The team I put forward for this game had 5 changes (Danilo-Walker, Toure-Fernandinho, Bernardo-Silva, Gundogan-KDB, Aguero-Jesus), but maybe that’ll have to wait until Wolves. We’ll see.
