I'll give you 10, maybe 15 minutes

I’m going for my record tonight, currently stands at 6 minutes v Chelsea ....

Not predicting this one. The Geordies are in form. Obviously we are the more talented team but will we be on the beach?

Well before the end of 2017-18 we should have been on the beach. Instead, we decided to be Centurions. That's how it works with this gaffer.

Guard of honour?

Hop not. Bad idea

 

[cibaman]

I want to see Delap, Doyle and Palmer at least on the bench, let's show the rest of the league what we have coming through our academy.

I think Pep’s priorities will be:

1 Make sure the starting 11 is in peak condition in Porto
2 Make sure that those who don’t start in Porto can’t say they weren’t given every opportunity to win a place
3 Win the games
4 Give the youngsters a chance

Ederson
Walker Dias Stones Zinchenko
Gundogan Rodri Bernardo
Mahrez Aguero Foden

So looking fw to this. Title is ours, team are full of confidence, Newcastle should be easy. Cmooooon City

boring 0-0

Think Pep will have a mix of 1st team plus some fringe players in the next 3 games ensuring all the squad gets game time.

Ederson
Walker Stones Laporte Zinchenko
Dhino Bernardo Gundogan
Mahrez Jesus Sterling

Great shout this!

Geordies were on form but they've lost Callum Wilson I believe, who is by far their main man. We should be far too strong - I don't think Pep will go with a weak selection as all the top boys will be itching for a game, and I expect a comfortable win.

Any win will do, whether it's 1-0 or 4-0 it doesn't matter

They are a terrible team with poor players, their best striker missing and all overseen by Bruce who is very unpopular in the Toon for good reason.

Here's how I think the game will play out: They will kick off then all 10 of their outfield players will sprint back to their box and won't bother leaving it for the next 45 minutes. They will go in at half time 0-2 down. We will then kick off and then then all 10 of their outfield players will sprint back to their box and won't bother leaving it for the next 45 minutes. They will go in at full time 0-3 down. Bruce will say X should've been booked, Y was offside. He will complain about VAR and that Z was lucky to be on the pitch. Without all that, they'd have won no bother.

I have a lot of time for Newcastle as I have family up there but they have been very lucky not to go down. I think they will do next year if they keep Bruce in charge.

We're are the Champions of England and soon to be Champions of Europe. I hope we show Bruce a proper show tonight and hopefully enough for him to be sacked.

COME ON CITY!!!!
