Good point.

Late night

This match has me worried, there's not one of us who can say the boys are clicking right now. CP is a tough away match and some of City's best players are seriously out of form. If I'm Pep I am playing Gundogan, Rodri and Bernardo in CM. Something is up with Kev, I'm sure he'll find his form but let's let him find it at home, City need to stay on the heels of the scousers.

Don’t know about not clicking. Win at Chelsea play Liverpool off the park hammer Brighton we’re not that bad.

Always slightly on edge after a defeat, irrespective of who we're playing. Fuck up today, which is improbable but not impossible, and it's two defeats on the spin. And the vultures will begin to gather, both in the media and on here. Seldom seen posters, never around when we win, but who suddenly appear when we lose. And Palace are a competent unit, not to be taken lightly. They'd have got the three points at Arsenal (who aren't the mugs they were earlier in the season) if they hadn't decided to go 10-0-0 for the last 25 minutes. We shouldn't fear them, no. Of course not. But treat them with respect. I'll be delighted with a solid, professional 2-0 win.

Ffs have just set out from the wilds of Derbyshire piss wet through and freezing headed to Manchester.

And now you tell me it is Palace away, oh well 55k others might make the same mistake.

But still a loss. I hate any loss, whether a heroic last minute defeat, a 4-0 battering or a penalty shootout.

 

[aka blue jambo]

Thank god we are at home then.

:)

You can be sure that Benteke will score, so we need to find two goals from somewhere. If we can then a 2-1 victory is my prediction.

Me too, but that wasn't my point.
