That is the team I expect him to put out , and I hope that we see a reaction from the lads after Sunday and show the new boys they are in for a rough ride this year.

I pray to God we don't lose or the atmosphere on here will be worse than ever before. But I am confident of a result .

3-1 , Dzeko x 2 , Silva

Re: city v swansea match thread.

You will struggle to eat out as there are only two restraunts in Manchester.
I suggest a meat and potatoe pie

Right in the City centre and next to the Bus Station. You can walk to the ground afterwards 25 mins, or get a bus. The tramline to the ground is still not ready and a lot of building work going on around the ground, but you will like the ground. Best in england after Wembley an the Emirates.

Had a look at planetswan seems you have as many ticketing problems as we do. Our game is close to selling out. About 300 tickets in the City end remain

Anywhere that serves a decent pint for a fair price and we won't get hassle from kids...as for food - might try chinatown as suggested.

Thanks for those words - yes it has been a long time - it seems like a different world now, which I s'pose it is. Teething trouble with our new and almost constantly updating on-line ticketing service. Fair play - the ticket office staff work bloody hard and get a lot of shit. This new system has had a fair share of glitches though and as we all know, you can't please everyone. Good to see that your ticket sales are doing well - were hoping to be able to significantly add to the atmosphere - if possible..

Not given enough credit - I'm a ref myself and people don't actually realise how hard it is to ref, and how different you see the game etc.

I am sure you lot will deffo add to the atmosphere; used to go to Swansea a lot with work (a place called Ystradgynlais) and I always found it to be a very sound place - 1,000 times better than cardiff, and 1,000,000 times better than north wales, good luck for the season apart from our 2 games
