When did you start supporting Man City?

No need to be cocky mate.

Wasn't being cocky, was just curious "mate". Touchy forum. Don't cry.

Oh I'm a cock for asking a question. I take it you're one of the bandwaggon jumpers since the investment came in. Don't be so touchy :'(

Angry man some would say too angry.

He did say definitely.

mourinho has said cahill and terry out - he might just rest hazard and a few others now so he can always say we beat a weakened team

Fantastic news on Nasri but I wouldn't rush him back into the starting 11 for this one, possibly 30 mins to get him sharper for the Barca game. Hopefully have everyone fully fit for next Saturday though, poor Stoke!

We need to go for it tomorrow and beat them. Tuesday in terms of motivation will take care of itself.

Alright lads <nods>

Thought I'd stay away after last 10 days or so. I know this place can get after big defeats. But, when Chelsea and Arsenal drew, I figured the place will have calmed down :)

(Not that anyone'd miss me or anything, haha)

I feel like we should take this one. the players have a point to prove after last fixture and it would be very unlucky to have another 'bad day at the office' coinciding with Chelsea 'great day at the office.'

Without Fernandinho's mobility and anticipation, I reckon if we play two men in the engine room, they will win the midfield battle again, which will not be good, so we should play with three in the centre instead.

I hope he fields a strong side. We've had the luxury of not playing mid-week, so hopefully that will come into consideration too, and not just the Barca game in the near future.

chelsea didn't win the midfield battle. they pretty much conceded the midfield.

<blinks> O_O

Am I seeing things? Or are you talking about a different City vs Chelsea at the Etihad?

Define midfield, please. And define battle too, if you don't mind.
