3-1 with goals from Dzeko,yaya and aguero

Can't disagree with that team, or scoreline, but Manuel usually springs a surprise in his team selection.

True. I was wondering if he'd start with Garcia, to combat the height that Cardiff possess, and rest Toure for a little bit longer. I'd rather he didn't but, as you say, MP does like to surprise.

 

[Plaything of the gods]

Don't care about the score as long as we twat Cardiff for the away defeat.

Would be great if the Etihad crowd could whistle the Tan and Ole (Laurel and Hardy) theme at some apt point today.

Have a feeling Cardiff will roll over for United in their next PL game.

 

[baldybouncer]

I hope we rip that little Ole twat a new one!

 

[Pigeonho]

Gonna stick with my earlier prediction of 8 nil. Play all 3 strikers and watch Cardiff shrivel up and die.

I think it's less likely than usual that Pellegrini will spring a surprise as we have West Ham on Tuesday and that will be an opportunity for the returning players like Micah to get a game.

Navas and Fernandinho have put in a lot of miles in recent games so I think Navas will get a rest today, but Fernandinho will still start but get a rest in midweek.

The danger today is complacency. So far there has been little sign of that. But banana skins come when you don't expect them

 

[Badtez]

Cheers Feely. Guess its a radio job today then. 2nd in league awaiting goal 100 and get no coverage....lol.

He will play the best team he has available Marvin, most will be rested midweek

3 pm KO's are not televised on British TV, however there will be plenty of sites showing the game live

I agree apart from your last line. Cardiff lost last week; they'll get absolutely battered today if we play any near to our usual home form, and if they get nowt next week, they'll be adrift at the bottom with little sign of any way back. The United game next week is a decent chance for them to get a point or 3, if they can keep United out for an hour or so and sneak a goal. Plenty of average teams have done that already this season,so, why not?

Chances are that Chelsea will win tomorrow, casting United further adrift from the top four; then the scum will beat Cardiff next week, leaving Ole without a league point and rooted to the bottom with only the trapdoor as a way out - unless Mr Tan sacks him around the end of February, so that he can do the job himself.

Anything from 4-0 upwards for City today.

 

[waspish]

Asking Solskjaer what kind of reception he will get! No one will give a fuck about this 2 bit manager it's like its Mourinho is managing them

 

[TGR]

Should be a straight forward regulation home win and 3 points today
4-1.

Hope we batter them! - And that Rag twat they've just taken on see just how noisy the neighbors really are now!

 

[Tueartsoverhead kick]

You guys come nowhere close to the level of loathing I harbour for that detestable little baconface loverboy. Why? Cause I'm a Norwegian blue that's why. Annihilation is what I want tomorrow, nothing less.

Not a Molde fan, then?

He he. To the extent that I care about Norwegian football I didn't mind Strømsgodset winning it this year as they have an affiliation with City. I've been blue since Tueart's overhead kick. Crazy I know, support your local team and all that. Can't be helped in my case. CTID.

Why thank you for the mention !

 

[Paulpowersleftfoot]

Hull and palace have both shown that it's possible to come to the Etihad and not get a pasting
At Cardiff they worked really hard and were rewarded for it,however profligate we were.
If we turn up expecting them to roll over like Norwich did,we could come unstuck so let's hope the players are fully focused and keep the pressure on Chelsea and arsenal
7-0,8-0? Take a scruffy 1-0 right now
