I keep hearing a lot about "form goes out of the window for a derby", "wounded animal", it's nonsense. If we don't win this game, we have shot ourselves in the foot. Currently they're playing worse then they were under Moyes. They were lucky to beat Southampton, Watford, and West Ham at home, got battered at home by PSG, without their two best players, and couldn't muster a shot on target against a Barcelona team in the first leg that were way under par. My worry is Pep might try and overthink this game, and play with a view to Burnley on Sunday.
 
Will the FA charge Ollie with the shit that he's spouted about 'tactical fouling'! If anything brings the game into disrepute more than a manager insinuating foul tactics from the opposition in order to influence a ref I have yet to hear or see it! The Baby-faced Assassin? The Baby-faced Canute, more like! C'mon City, shove a few goals past the world's best keeper- keep up his average this week!
 
Not sure it was wise for OGS to respond to Pep's polite support of him in his press conference with accusations that we're dirty and foul everyone.

Talk about burning an olive branch.

Spot on. I hope Pep has our players focused on the game and we put down a real statement. No let up.
 
Their forum tends to be populated by “fans” from far and wide. The exact type of fan I’m saying buys in to the Liverpool myth.

Going off Mancunian based reds I know personally, none of them use their forum, and none of them want City to win the league.

My cousin who is based in a different part of Manchester has observed exactly the same thing - his red mates are all desperate to beat us on Wednesday.

In my experience, the “Liverpool are our biggest rivals” is a line trotted out by Mancunian reds to wind up City fans.

Don’t get me wrong, I know there’s no love lost between The Shite and the Scousers.

But for the majority or reds who live, work and have close family and friends who are blues, City winning the league would grate them far more than Liverpool in real life. On their forum it’s a whole different kettle of fish.
Completely agree.
