[Father Paul]

Give over

Why?

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Lot of very Italian looking people knocking about the home end

Oh marone

 

[paulchapo]

Looks like TNT have lost the feed from the Etihad !

Useless wankers.

Surprising that Sky have never tried to get the CL rights bsck; pretty sure, IIRC, that they had it in the era when the dips won it in Istanbul back in the mid 2000s.

Wasn't that ITV?

 

[Blu1]

Amazed foden & Rodri start

I like the look of the team. The formation of 4-1-4-1 is exquisite. Lots of layers, some meat in the middle and the big cheese on top.

 

[M Gaudino]

O’reilly v kev on the right

There's a load of blokes in impeccably tailored suits round the back of the Etihad bundling a load of copper cable into the back of a black Cadillac, not sure if it's related.

Why?

Already been run into the turf! that’s why

 

[Georgian Maestro]

Looks like he's prioritising this and sacrificing the Arsenal game with that selection

the match day thread isn't open yet pal

 

[Sky Blue]

Ok.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Amazed foden & Rodri start

Arguably they could do with the pitch time
to get match fit?

He probably realises like us we will be unlikely to get anything at Arsenal. Sadly they are better than us at present with a much stronger squad. Winning tonight takes the pressure off us a bit in the champions league.

 

[Paul1970]

Have a feeling kdb will turn on the style tonight and run the show to show us what we are missing . Tbh I didn’t want him to go and j still thought he could do a job for us but he’s gone now so hope he does well but not tonight .

 

[lonestay]

Guessing Joe Harts head n shoulders career is down the plug hole !

 

[Father Paul]

Already been run into the turf! that’s why

Well yes. He probably should not even be on the bench. This puts him out of a more important game on Sunday I should think. While at the same time increasing chances of a medium term injury perhaps. Clearly Pep has givem up on the league and going in balls deep for this. I hope it doesn't backfire. Anyway, lets win this one now!!

 

[Axel Freed]

On games like these it’s a fucking good job we have the tourists otherwise the ground is half empty

Another way to look at it would be that if Khaldoon and Soriano hadn’t completely fucked over our core support then the ground would be full of proper blues tonight like it pretty much was against Napoli in the original CL game.

Overweight bald men in their early sixties can bear an uncanny resemblance ...
