[PinkFinal]

Why's it being played at 12.45pm when it's not on Sky or BT Sport?

It was moved to be as far away from the c/l game as possible I assume.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Need a much better performance than the one we got last night.

Any of our injured players back?

I just hope the tactics and team selection are spot on. One thing is for sure Stoke won't roll over and die like they did against Spuds. Come on City!!

Injury news 1pm friday
I have given up predicting just get the bloody job done,no delph left wing or yaya with fernando ffs

Silva is back for this weekend but don't know if he will be able to play two games in 4 days :/

Any word on Nasri?

Muscle injury it seems. If minor tweak then a week ow 4 weeks.

i have a feeling we will see a shed load of changes because we looked tired on tuesday.

for me i would play a strong team as top 4 is still our best hope of champions league football next season.

aguero is on form at the moment and i would like that momentum kept up. souness said something last week that sergio looks the type of player with his body type that he needs to be playing every game to maintain himself at a high level which i do agree with actually.

this could be like the west brom game where it will be closer than we think.

Lost last couple of games stoke like see us put few past these

Haha had to read that a few times, I think i get the gist of it.

Do you mean "Stoke have lost the last couple of games, i would like see us put a few goals past them" ?

 

[Silva_Spell]

Really is pathetic that we're needing to win 3 draw 1 to make the top 4.

 

[citymad]

Hughes will relish this game against us. Personally I can see a draw here. My main concern for this one is Shawcross doing one of his hatchet jobs on Aguero. Dirty bastard.!!

3 goals up at halftime then rest players for the 2nd half. ................If only.
