Juventus v CITY - Official Match Thread.

[Billy Spurdle]

Not much riding on it for City, but Juventus have their future in the tournament in the balance.

Looking at a 2-0 loss, but it won't matter too much.

Juve can't qualify. Unless Poznan win by 3 goals or more in Salzburg, we only need a draw to top the group. My money's on a 1-1 at 6/1 odds.

The game is live on ESPN, 6pm KO.

[mammyjam]

is assulin eligable or is it just prem games where you don't have to name U21s?

 

[johnny crossan]

Brennan has been twittering that only Zab, Boateng & Jo of Saturday's starters has travelled. Adebayor (injured?) and Lescott (flu?) have also been left behind.

Tevez to play anyone?

Yeah scrap my team choice from the other day now lol. Anyone know who has travelled altogether? Is Jo the only proper striker we've taken? No Tevez, Balo, Ade and Cruz?

Fucking hate it when City games are on ESPN. It's ridiculously expensive for what it is, so I don't pay for it, which means I've got to go to the pub to watch it, which isn't so bad at 8pm, but 6pm is a ballache due to finishing work etc.

Maybe Richards at right back maybe?

No Bridge because, I quote Mancini: "It is impossible for him to play because he is frail like baby with brittle bone disease. It is important he does not play. He is a good player."
