Man City V Wigan pre match thread.

I agree Kun has to feature - only question is whether he starts or comes on as a sub.

Play him first half get a couple of goals and take him of ready for barca.

Anyone know if Jovetic and Nastasic have trained with the team this week?

I know this is off topic but a blues fan posed me a question and my memory has started to cloud with age so its with apologies to the moderator I ask how many times have we played at the swamp but not against United I know in the league cup there was Walsall 4-0 (I was there) anybody remember any others ?

Not really a team to train with this week most players away on international duties. But I don't think either are fit a the moment.

There was a replay in the 80's - can't remember against who - 2:0 down 3:2 up then we went out the next round. About 13k turned up with many wearing face masks because of the smell!

Yes as mentioned that was Luton, a second replay, but it was in the 70's.

In the 80's we played a League cup 2 legged tie against Bury and the game at Gigg Lane was switched to the swamp for safety reasons. We won both games 2-1

I caused uproar at a pub quiz in Moston a few years back by asking ''when was the last time City won at OT?
Everyone put down 74 with the back heel and a few kicked off when I said 1985 (or 86) against Bury!

Re: Welcome for Uwe

Would love to her a Uwe Uwe chant before the KO next week but asking for the DJ and the twat with the mike to give it a rest will be asking for to much, so how about the kippaks and SS giving it a go early in the game I am not a singer or stander but would give it my best from 204.

I sit in 204 and I don't pay way over the odds for my plush leather seat to have noisy yobs like you spoil my afternoon by chanting and shouting.

Relocate to the South Stand if you want to make a racket.
