Hopefully the barcodes turn up like they've turned up at The Emirates and Stamford Bridge in recent weeks...

I doubt it though, They'll be like the Harlem fucking globetrotters.

I long for us to put in a performance where everyone plays at their best.

Can't see Doku starting another game this season.

Nothing like writing a player off so early in his career

Come on mate he was a couple of inches away from getting the winner at klanfield,though to be fair I'm a couple of inches away from being well hung.

 

[shevtheblue]

Ortega

Stones - Akanji - Dias - Ake

Rodri - Kova

Bernardo - Foden - Doku (If fit, if not then Alvarez in middle and Foden on left)

Haaland

I must admit I do find the comments about Doku a bit...... strange?

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Laying my patio today, then watch us put in a great display.

c'mon City

 

[citytill1die84]

As full strength as possible with another week off come on City.

[Inter Me Nan]

Gonna be giving Hooper some grief tonight the shit ****.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

 

[Kompany & co]

Can't see Doku starting another game this season.

And if his shot against Liverpool is 5 inches to the left and doesn't hit the post but goes in. What then Ethan ,Ballon d,or ? Fine margins between hero and dropped.

Yep, comes on, does a great job, nearly scores a winner, but some people want to ship him off to Troyes next season.

Can’t make it for the game as celebrating a big wedding anniversary where we got married but that said what a stroke of luck as this is our day planned for tomorrow in Cape Town.

Come on you blue bastards stuff the barcodes!

Seems a lot of effort and money to spend to find a remote place to dump her body, mate, but I suppose you get what you pay for!

(Only joking — happy anniversary to you and the missus!)

I could have chucked her off Table Mountain and been out now even with bad behaviour but I’ve turned I to a full on Bert so it’s turned out ok

 

[clarion]

I think Bobb will start on the left. Bernardo on the right. Foden as 10.

A lot of responsibility for Phil to fill Kev’s boots — hope he rises to the occasion!
