Let’s say, hypothetically, you were choosing songs for karaoke. What song would you say is quintessentially city and therefore a must sing before the game?


Also, hypothetically, the machine didn’t have blue moon…

Fuck the Rags by The Beautiful Blues


Best thing about it is you don’t need the karaoke machine to sing it, as everyone will know the words!

Got sent this team:
Stefan ORTEGA

Nathan AKE
Ruben DIAS
John STONES
Kyle WALKER

RODRI
Ilkay GUNDOGAN
Kevin DE BRUYNE

Jack GREALISH
Erling HAALAND
Bernardo SILVA

In fairness, anything but that causes some concerns of pep tinkering with a winning formula again.

Defo no extra time please blueboys

They will score , that is for sure , we just need to score more

Sorry , repeating myself now !

 

[Eoiyflem]

This is unbearable now

 

[SebastianBlue]

Not only do I want us to win today, I want (for once) for us to stand on their necks and only relax when the eighth goal goes in. They are a rancid club with no real fans and entitlement off the scale. On a more optimistic note i'd like us to get double figures.

I want another Watford score.

 

[Bill Walker]

Hope Bruno the rat loses his shit again like Clanfield. :)

 

[Blueknows]

Hope we wipe the floor with them.

Just been in asda saw a dad with his son who was about 6 both in city shirts I commented "hope we smash em" dad replies 4 or 5 -1 Will do , son said " don't want them even winning a corner never mind scoring"

 

[TrentGrisham]

Rumoured;
ORTEGA

AKE
DIAS
STONES
WALKER

RODRI
GUNDOGAN
KDB

GREALISH
HAALAND
B SILVA

I'd have stuck with Akanji.

Also, Phil has been a standout in helping us progress through the FA Cup so it's a bit unfair on him to get dropped but it's obviously a strong team.

Morning in Pennsylvania. Come on, City. Win the F.A. Cup, beat the rags, batter u*****d. Play like City did in the home derby, against l'pool and arsenal in the league, against Bayern and Madrid in the CL, sweep them aside with the world watching. Better players, better team, better coach, better football club.
Memories: I've taken an old football annual off the shelf, the Big Book of Football Champions 1956, there's the photo of Roy Paul in maroon & white beaming at his son as they grip the handles of the Cup together. Then there was Tony Book in 1969 in red & black receiving the trophy off Princess Anne wearing the same colours. I see Yaya celebrating his goal in the semi-final in 2011, Mario winking at the rags after the match, Yaya again v. Stoke and Carlos Tevez lifting the Cup so that taunting rags banner had to come down, Vincent Kompany doing the same after the 6-0 demolition of Watford. All these excellent old scenes presage the newest vision, Ilkay Gundogan thrusting the trophy into the sky blue air this sunny afternoon after Foden, Haaland, Bernardo, Johnny Stones and Jack Grealish have heaped misery on Fernandes, Ferguson and their cringing plastic followers in Solihull and Singapore.

Breakfast's made, eggs, sausage & bacon, doorstop slices of bread, Daddy's sauce, pot of tea, wearing my faded blue & white scarf from Bert Trautmann days and have just put the missus's pair of red fucking shorts out of sight where she might find them in a month or two, the cats have new blue collars. Ready to sing Abide With Me then City, City, City, goooooal! goooooal! Poznans all over and onto Istanbul as double winners to win the thriple, as Rodri calls it.
MANCHESTER FUCKIN' CITY, COME ON! The best team in the land in all the world.
