Fuck off. You’re a clown mate.

You are allowed to just ignore or disagree with an opinion without swearing and personal insults. Try it some time instead of being an arsehole:)

 

[paulchapo]

Might be watching from behind the sofa again!

Sorry for the travelling fans but if a monsoon descended on Selhurst Park and the game got cancelled I'd be highly delighted.

 

[heslops barnet]

Judging by City's recent run, no he doesn't. Any other manager would be getting the deserved criticism at this point. But I realise Pep is an untouchable god to most here, so have at it.

Pep’s a bit stubborn……

 

[Utter bobbins]

The state of this thread

 

[mosssideblue]

Are you really stupid enough to believe Pep is that stupid ?These early team announcements still catiching me out. I should be baling out from Match threads before the teams to miss the idiocy.

Obviously he is that stupid as he's still frothing

I know I am. I’m also allowed to call you a clown. That’s the option I chose.

 

[johnnytapia]

That’s as poor a subs bench as I’ve seen for many a year.

 

[I'm Blue]

Just win nothing else matters…….apart from injuries.

ok
now
fuck off

 

[mancboy]

Rico’s height and physical strength is a huge disadvantage but he has more experience and composure than pusey . Pusey is bit leaky .

fair enough but for me lewis is not a right back or a left back its sort of getting to the point where his versatility smacks of not being good enough to nail down one position

 

[theres only one carlito]

Over the last few years the outcome has been pretty positive hasn't it? `

Not with Nunes and savinho it hasn’t

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

God, I wish we were playing Everton away today. We could really do with a weekend off!

 

[BuzLightyear]

Grealish, Doku, and De Bruyne were all making their first start after being injured. We don't know if they're 100% fit, or if they need to have a break.

Considering we just lost 2 of our defenders in one game, who were also playing while not being 100%, and we have a more important game on Wednesday, it makes perfect sense.

You forgot the 'non' in front of sense.

 

[mancboy]

the pre match thread is dangerously close to morphing with the match thread

 

[Bluesince1979]

Fuck off. You’re a clown mate.

People not allowed opinions? Doesnt make you a “massive blue” to never question

 

[Blue and true]

FFS. He’s coming back from injury and played 3 days ago.We have a massive game in 4 days. . We pay staff big bucks to make these calls.

Fair enough, would still prefer him to play the first 60 than potentially come on when we're chasing the game.

 

[Stelea]

That's some injury list.
Not that the media will mention it

If they do mention it, It will be caveated with a value

At least there are a few of you with some basic football knowledge.

 

[journolud]

I've got to trust our manager but dropping Grealish after his last performance is at once baffling and scandalous. Not gonna do his confidence any good. And Doku?

I'll reserve judgement till after the game.

Scandalous? Give over. Glad you’re reserving judgement though

 

[Kippax77]

Apparently we’ve the largest/strongest/most expensive squad in the league….

Seriously though those 7 out injured would be first teamers on most games
