City v Boro - Pre Match Thread

[SPIDERBOY]

Just obliterate them please.

Would like to see a few changes, not for resting players but to avoid that "after the lord mayor's show" risk.
Kompany, Maffeo, Sane to come in if fit.

The XI I'd like to see

I hate Boro so very much. Our bogey team, they knocked us out of both the League Cup and FA Cup a few years back, they beat us 8-1 under Sven, they won 1-0 against us with no shots on target and they knocked out of the FA Cup at home a couple of years ago. Also Danny Tiatto's stunner was disallowed against them years ago.

Any win will do.

Remember Fowler missed a late pen against that lot to keep us from a European trip.

Dear Man City fans, my name is Chris and I work for The Royal British Legion. I just wanted to let everyone on the forum know that during Man City’s game versus Boro both clubs will wear shirts embroidered with a poppy in show of Remembrance. These shirts will be signed and donated to the Legion with all proceeds going to our services.


Manchester City FC have been big supporters of the Legion by displaying the poppy on their shirt, allowing us to raise incredible amounts to support the future of the living and also help us uphold the memory of fallen. If you would like to own a piece of City’s memorabilia whilst also supporting the Legion please keep a look out on the club’s official channels for when the auction goes live between late November and December.


For more information on our partnership with the all Premier League clubs during the Poppy Appeal last year please visit http://www.britishlegion.org.uk/community/news/poppy-appeal/premier-league-clubs-raise-record-sum-for-the-2015-poppy-appeal/.


Many thanks for reading, and to the moderators, apologies if this appears to be an advert-type post. Please do feel free to spread the word about the shirt auction to raise as much bids (donations) as poss!

Shite penalty.

After the Lord Mayor's show. 2-2

That's the spirit.

 

[SWP's back]

Interestingly, of those 33 CL games above, City have been at home 17 times;

Isn't that just what you'd expect? It's as close to 50% of the time as you can get with an uneven number of matches played (33).

well, the interesting bit was the fact we've won 12 of those 17, which was the next line down :)
