^^ Not unless they havent spent 2 years (or was it 3?) with the team.

Draw

Actually they're quite shit and we can play their game better than them.

Gonna put 5 on a draw though.

I am not very happy that our captain was so keen to risk his dubious fitness in last night's match against Israel especially in view of the existing injury list or that Belgium were so willing to gamble on him coming back not fully fit when the risk was all City's.

If his country is more important to him than City he should be treated to a spell on the bench.

Oh give over with the fucking drama. He was obviously fit to play and the minutes were of benefit to both Kompany and City.
The wailing and nashing of teeth in some quarters regards Kompany is pitiful.
He obviously loves both his country and his club.

I love my club but do not give a monkey's for Belgium in a meaningless game. Nor do I give a monkeys for Spain or Argentina who deprived us Silva and Kun for must-win matches against the rags and Seville.

I am sure that Pellegrini knows a little more of what is best for City than Wilmots.

I wouldn't expect you to give a monkey about Belguim, Spain or Argentina. The difference is the players obviously do so you get used to it or spend every international break stressing over potential injury.
I was buzzing to see Kompany back, coming through 60 minutes without issue, setting him up for a start at the weekend. All good in my, and most right minded people's minds.

You seem to have been arguing with every one who does not agree with you and therefore are not right minded? We are lucky that he seem to have come through it OK but he needs to think of those who pay him first. The next injury I want to see him get is in May from the strain of lifting trophies.

A meaningless match for Belgium was not worth the risk for a player who has developed glass legs. Ferguson would not have allowed any player to muck him about.

Of course i've been arguing with anyone who doesn't agree with me. That's the point isn't it? He needed minutes after a lay off, he got them and came through unharmed. Job done. Hopefully he'll start at weekend and our shaky defence will get back to normal.
That's the top and bottom, and whilst I understand some people will have had concerns I'd have hoped that him coming through the test ok would have been enough for them. As it happens it's not and there's still some who are moaning.
Thank fuck we haven't got anyone like Ferguson at our club...

Is anyone fit for this one?

I am.

Why have people been constantly whining on this thread? It's been going on all bloody week. Negative Nellies, ffs.

It's a pain in the arse, the injury situation, but if we haven't got a squad that can absorb sufficient injuries to beat Bournemouth at home, then we're in trouble.
