City will now attack the south end in the 2nd half

[Gray]

Also, looking at the weather forecast for today it seems that the sun will be in Willy's eyes in the second half if we do win the toss though admittedly it's a minor point given Manchester's normal weather!

3pm today. Yellow = Sunrise, Dark Yellow = 3pm, Orange = Sunset.

Would affect the away team more if we kick towards the family stand in the first half.

How can you judge that? since we been at the Etihad I count on one hand kicking of the other way..

Well, for the record, as I sit in 302 I'm a bit pissed off by this decision. My opinion is clearly an empirical one - I feel that I'd be proved right as well if I could get hold of the stats on it.

This decision will play merry havoc with Mark Hughes' masterplan for playing at the Etihad.

You're an idiot. You're judging Pep on one season in charge of Man City. Ignoring his huge success at Barca, at bayern, his countless accolades and praise from players, coaches all over the world.

He's so clearly in a different league to Mancini but that's not to take about from Mancini's success with us.

Counts for nothing all that before , it's what he does with Manchester City that's important to me & only that , I go by what I see with my own eyes thanks.

Ah you didnt read mu post then? How can you be proved right when like I said we have kicked of the other end around 5 times and the other end hundreds of times! So really you typing rubbish.

In previous seasons when we attacked the other end in the second half we seemed to do better. We had a better team, relatively speaking, then though.. :-)

We have the worst home atmosphere in the league. That gives our team no advantage whatsoever at home. Something is very much needed. Not sure this is the answer mind but it's a start.

Rubbish, i'v been to every premier league ground and our's is definately not the worse, the swamp has 75,000 dunderheads ....or so they claim.....sat there admiring the view and doing fuck all else, rags i know complain about it all the time, Arsenal etc are terrible

 

[Cellarite]

can we move the goal post to the side lines because we never seam to hit the goals at both ends

Jesus Navas would be prolific.

Totally agree. Palace and Stoke maybe the exception. Otherwise most of the premier league is terrible. Anfield is always bigged up by the media, personally always found it quiet, Everton is mainly quiet but can be hostile due to it being an old stadium and very tight and compact. Arsenal and Chelsea are just like ours (one end might rouse itself for an injustice or big games). Spurs (see Everton), Rags I don't need to mention.

It might be the start of a Navas goal rush?
