[Jack Hackett]

Just finished my first tin of Guinness! :D

Having dined handsomely on roast chicken and all the trimmings and downing the best part of a bottle of Burgundy, I’m now sipping a good two fingers of the Antiquary…lovely jubbly…

 

[kaz7]

Get ready for a loss to be blamed on raz whether he plays or not

 

[SidJames]

If you're gonna bet then look at the facts. Sterling been good against mickeys last 2 matches

Good Point.

No crowd away at Klanfield helped though Mate.

Prior to that he has been Dog Shit with a Crowd.

I think Ball retention will be key today.

Sterling losing the Ball 9/10 on the edge of their Box starting their quick counters will kill us.

Just my opinion.

 

[applecentral]

Can anyone advise what time is best to start drinking?

18.15 after City have won 4-0

Still not ready to accept he has regressed?

I hope he is not involved from the start. It will only highlight his poor touch and inability to get past the full back.

For what it’s worth, I thought he did an awful
Lot of things right against PSG.

 

[Ashleymcduff]

Just got to keep the diving rats quiet and we should be ok, they are both in good form from having a whole summer off and full pre season.
Pretty sure Dias will have jota’s measure. And their midfield are just whizzed up press monkies

 

[stonerblue]

No, most fans want to support the team with making snide comments.

Some wankers on here. Sagging players before a balls been kicked.

He is badly out of form,he is not a striker , he shouldnt be made to play there, saying we will lose if he plays but win if he doesnt was ridiculous by sid

I was thinking 3pm to brace myself for the team news but now think maybe a couple at lunchtime may have been a better idea! Lol had a few texts from dipper fans today saying they reckon they will win by 3 plus goals as our lads won’t handle the crowd!?! God I hate these twats more than the rags these days!

 

[burning blue soul]

This game will be more of a PSG, rather than a Chelsea.
The early pressure must be dealt with better than in Paris. Paris got ahead early and then defended like it was their cup final. Scouse will do the same if they can.
If we repel the early onslaught, or even get an early goal ourselves, then I see a dominant win*


*all things being equal with officiating, btw.

The ref will fold with their crowd which is why my expectations are low , draw at best i reckon

We will see. Don't think he'll start meself.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Keep the Egyptian Lennie Bennet quiet and we could get something.

Forget his goal scoring, look at his 1st touch; hell, even his 2nd touch (if he gets one) is usually a tackle these days.
He has lost his confidence and self belief, no amount of coaching can get that back... only he can.
If we need speed late on , or we are 3-0 up at 80mins, playing 10 men that's the only time he should be looked at.
As much as it pains me to say this, btw.

 

[citymad]

Just to get the butterflies and fist pumps started. Its nostalgic, it’s our song and brilliant when you’ve had a few beers in you.

The early exchanges will be telling. At Chelsea we dominated from the start, and didn't let up.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Bloody hell... Raheem is just out of form, he's not lost the ability to play!

While I personally think he would probably benefit from a fresh challenge, the simple fact is that he'll come good again some point, hopefully today if he's picked.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

He’s a fantastic player when he’s in the mood, but he’s been shit for the last 18 months so he should get grief, hope he doesn’t play today cos its like playing with 10 men when he does at that place

 

[blue aura]

Come on Blue boys, let's give them feral scouse fuckers a proper schooling.

 

[eastmanc]

Come on you Dolly Blues.
