Man City V Stoke City Pre Match Discussion Thread

Mancini press conf: Dzeko a doubt for Stoke [Daniel Taylor]

So what did Robarto actually say? This could be mind games, knowing how strong Stoke are in the air. If fit, he should definitely start.

Stoke fan here just coming to give my views of tonight. In my opinion tonight is probably as tough as you get in the Premier League right up there with Man Ure and the Arse and Spurs. I think that Man City will probably win the game as you should have too much quality all over the pitch and we will be massive underdogs although that is normally when we are at our best. Maybe 2-1.

Onto other things I posted on here under a different name when Mancini was having a bit of a struggle at the beginning of his reign and a few fans were having a go at him and I said he would need time to blend everything together and that given time you would eventually blend into a great squad and one that could match and beat the "Old Top 4", this has obviously gone onto happen and to be honest I am quite glad as I would much prefer you to win the league etc than the other half of Manchester. Onto the Champions league and I feel that the draw you had this year could not have been harder for your 1st taste of the CL and if you and Man Ure had been swapped around you would now be in the next stages......Anyway good luck for the season apart from tonight and in the return......

Good luck to yourself too.

I hope we have moved the hoarding an inch from the line :)

For some unknown reason I am more nervous about this game than the arse game.

Any kind of win will make me happy.

I was the same the other day I posted it on here Stoke worried more than Arsenal but I think we have more than enough quality to beat Stoke.

Dzeko has announced on his official page edindzeko.ba that he cannot feature tonight due to his ankle injury.

I think I'd rather Balotelli anyway?
