'Tis alright to pelt the oppos with pies made in Wigan - they contain all kinds of shite. They might even contain a little bit of Dave Whelan!

You will know, if it has broken bone in it.

Our number 7 may be of interest to you tomorrow night.

19 year old called Alex Scott, nicknamed the Guernsey Grealish because of how he carries the ball.

Incredible talent that we won't be keeping beyond this summer, he's been outstanding for us.

Dortmund are watching him every week so wouldn't be surprised if he went there to replace Bellingham, but I know that Man City have had scouts at several of our home games this year so like I said maybe one to watch.

Scott is a cracking prospect, you’ve got a very good academy there and produced some good lads in recent years
Full respect to lads like yourselves who go regularly and follow city and the gas, but when I lived down there and on many subsequent visits I’ve met a depressingly significant number of born and bred Bristolians who support united, liverpool etc. A weirdly large Chelsea following as well
I think given the likely number of changes and the fact we have Newcastle early on Saturday, it might be a closer game than many are expecting, we might even have to come from behind

Start strong, win the game then rest 4 or 5 after 60 minutes.

My starting point, but the number of times I've looked at our starting eleven and said 'That's strong enough!' and then they seem unable to get any momentum. First goal inside ten minutes always seem to be the way for a decent performance.

I'm working away from home for the next couple of days... in Bristol.

Sadly, no ticket.

Full strength, no fucking about. Only a win will do.

talking my son, just wants to see alfies boy,lol.
should be straight forward, but it is the cup and its city, but we should be a few goals clear at end of 90

Keep an eye on the ticket forum on here, and mcfc spares on Twitter and facebook, might get lucky

 

[Crooked_rain]

Should win this. My ideal XI: 4-2-2-2.


Ederson

Ake-Dias-Laporte-Akanji


De Bruyne - Bernardo.

Foden. Mahrez.


Haaland- Alvarez

I know dropping Grealish and gundo stinks

I think Jack will get rested, He started something like the last 10 games

I reckon Haaland gets rested too.
