City Vs Norwich Pre match Discussion Thread

[schtipps]

As far as line ups go, i think Mancini will be looking towards the Munich game tbh. I reckon he will save Balo for Munich on the 7th Dec as Dzeko was not effective in Germany. No idea about Aguero though.

I think he will expect a win and play a team he thinks can win without setting the house on fire because he will have an eye on next week.

Re: Norwich looking forward to this more than the Semi, why?

I was excited about seeing this one too, but due to poor health, I won't be there. I have however managed to get my seasoncard to a fellow Blue and he'll watch in my place and enjoy what promises to be a great day I'm sure.

I've managed to contact the club and 'trade-in' my seat for the Arsenal and Liverpool games for ones with wheelchair access. My wife has got a carers ticket for those games too, so fingers crossed i'll be seeing City again in the not too distant future - C'mon you Blues!

Get better soon Blue, its exciting times ahead, hope you get back to the ground soon, all the best.

Re: Norwich looking forward to this more than the Semi, why?

They're a good side, Lambert has done an excellent job with them when you consider that we did a similar thing under Royle (I appreciate it's only relatively early days).

I don't mind them as a club, just hate Delia Smith since 1999/0 when we were 'the luckiest side to get promoted'. Alright we had a few hefty slices of luck at Ewood that final day but you don't get promoted over 1 game.
Then again, I suppose her booze fuelled rant at half-time a few years later demonstrated to all what she really is.

I'm very much hoping for 3 points and obviously that going towards a league title but I am also looking forward to the semi because it represents another chance of silverware although I know many don't attach significance to that cup or the Europa (if we end up there, hopefully not!).

Are you mixing them up with Ipswich?

Nah mate. I know Ipswich came up when they beat Barnsley that year but she definitely said it. I remember reading it in the City mag!

Re: Norwich looking forward to this more than the Semi, why?

I am looking forward to the game tomorrow more than the Semi and some of the other big games:

WHY

because either you now inextricably associate them with the rags & you really want to see city tonk them or you've got a thing about delia smith.

or possibly both.

Been looking at a few of their forums (they don't really seem to have one big forum just a few small ones vital and all that crap) a bit of the silliness coming out on one forum comments like these

Totally agree DG. Just need to get through match tomorrow and remember we haven't bought success, but done it the hard way.

I cant say I have much excitement for this game . If they beat us (possible !!), then they will have bought it , and not earnt it . Say what you like about last weeks game , but it was good honest football , as were the other Prem games I've been to this season.

Give me an even matched fixture at Wigan , Bolton or Blackburn anyday !

Which are pretty much carbon copies of what many Blackpool fans were saying last year, strangely enough Norwich's performance is pretty much equal to Blackpool at this time last season, same amount of goals scored and points and position

Re: Norwich

Cant wait for tommorrow. My missus thinks we are going christmas shopping and then putting the tree up, when in actual fact i am working in the morning and then taking my dad to the match! I could think of nothing worse than going to the Trafford Centre tomorrow and i won't be going! Not sure when to break this to her, think i am leaving it a bit late. I have taken my Dad a few Games this year - Everton, Villa and Newcastle and he has had £20 each time on Ballotelli first goal and won £270 (profit) on his days out. Going to go for Aguero tommorrow! Not going to be easy at all!

Dont mind Norwich - they are too far away to be offensive and seem to have good support.

8 am - wake up
9 am - work
11 am - back home
12 am - break news
1 pm - homeless
2 pm - meet dad
3 pm - enjoy match
5 pm - watch the rags get beat
7 pm - come home and creep (half pissed)
8 pm - watch x factor
10 pm - MOTD
11 pm - Try and get leg over (fail)
11.15pm - In the spare room

Great day!!
