As long as Phil is central, we’re laughing.

Final game of 2023. What a year!

Gonna put the kibosh on this, 27 home games unbeaten this year, won 23 in a row then DWDD.

Last 3 PL home been drawn, would really like the Boys in Blue to see this out in style.

Time to remember and say farewell to our lost Blues as well.

C'mon City!

Jack has trained so will likely play

Didn't Cancelo play under similar circumstances?

The fact we are now chasing again fills me with joy, we chase down better than Arkle on a bad day…

Reality bite that finishing the job v palace and spuds we’d be top with a game to spare; alas I prefer the fire this scenario instills in our boys…

Not a banker tomorrow but expect to grind it out

3-1, coming on strong late on

Couple for Walker (:

Ack, go on lads - a clean sheet tomorrow please. In fact, pretty please with sugar on top.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Just win so we can all have a very Happy New Year.

Not sure Kyle will score two (two in a bed maybe) but nice to hear someone praising him rather than all the muppets writing him off

Looking forward to tomorrow’s game, first trip over this season. Expect we’ll have to be patient against a deep block and guard against the counter. I suspect this will be the last one before we start to see the return of key players. Would be very very happy with a win of any sort but a win with a clean sheet would be fantastic.

Our creativity has been OK , but our finishing has been in general poor , we have scored plenty of goals but have probably missed at least twice as many , if you add our inability to keep a clean sheet it adds up to close games that really should be a walk in the park.
Expect exactly the same against Sheff Utd , they will score with their first chance and we will have to scrap for three points , the days of 3-0,4-0,5-0 wins are not a reality at the moment until we get the likes of KDB,Stones, Haaland,Doku fullyfit and performing.
Three points and the result is all that matters on Saturday , i am not expecting a masterclass

Why are you so sure they will score? Yes we havent been the tightest this year, but we kept clean sheets in Saudi against teams prob no worse than Sheff Utd

Unexpected chance to close the gap and keep ourselves in the mix.

Few injuries still to big players but we can’t do anything about that against Sheffield.

Go get the win and let’s see how we are looking heading into the Newcastle game.
