[worsleyweb]

Not long now. Less than a week.

Let’s hope we smash them and don’t concede.

I think that ship sailed minutes after I originally posted the message, mate. :)

Haha, yes. My timing always was shit. Still 11 jokers, extreme pessimists or “typical Cityzens” - not sure which.

 

[Mr.Feeny]

It was actually October 2016..Pep's first season.I was in Spain at the time in a bar full of Spuds fans!!

That's right. It was in the fall. I think we were wearing those maroon kits as well.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Anyone heard about Walker having a calf strain or was it just Vinny Jones talking shite???

 

[typicalcity...]

Apparently there’s gonna be something for joe presume prematch

Don't think he's injured, just rotated with Trippier. Can definitely confirm though that Vinny Jones will have been talking shite.

We were unable to handle the press. I think Bravo was the keeper. We were well beaten.

I think the previous visit was the day of the Blind Official.
One of the goals that Spuds scored was about 3 yards off easy.

Yes, he was. I remember feeling frustrated at how many points we were dropping because of inept goalkeeping. Forget about the Spurs match away. That entire season seemed to follow a pattern. City would dominate the opposition (sometimes profligate in front of goal) and then the opposition would score with their first shot on goal.

It seemed as though everything on target went through Bravo. Which was a travesty. The Chelsea match (1-3 was an example.) Chance after chance without putting the match away before Chelsea managed to get a shot on goal that undid all the hard work. That Willian (?) goal was never the middle of the net.

Ederson played a big role in us winning the league last season in that he reduced the amount of stilly, avoidable game-changing goals that inevitably cost teams points.

Jon Moss will referee the game,remember Palace away last season ?

Ederson
Stones Laporte
Sterling Silva Fernandinho Silva Sane
Mahrez Aguero Jesus

Bit Mourinho-esque isn't it Phil?

Surely we don't need Stones & Laporte?

I’d be more concerned that you’ve allowed yourself to listen to that moron :) Hopefully though it’s just pure rubbish :)

Walker is on the England bench, so not injured;
Subs: Walker, Butland, Alexander-Arnold, Dunk, Chalobah, Mount, Maddison, Sancho, Bettinelli

I haven't seen any of the football yet. Just catching up, but I suspect he is carrying a groin injury. The press said in build up to the game that he had a minor groin injury. I wasn't sure whether to believe it but if he was a sub that tends to make me think he is carrying an injury. Likewise Bernardo Silva. Very similar reports.

Walker came on for England as sub.

I know. My point was that it backs up the reports that he was carrying an injury. i.e. an injury that doesn't prevent him from playing but might bother him a bit if he keeps playing and might prevent him from training to maximum.

He was on talkshite it's great comedy.

Would he risk him if slightly injured for 20 mins when he also had Trent Arnold and dunk on the bench.?

Marv talking hatstand for a change, lol.

 

[Armaan]

Hope kev can get 20 mins here and then another 20/30 in the CL. Ease him back in I say, the rest have proven they can still do the business without him.
