Why would it be postponed?!

Have you not seen the treacherous conditions? I advise stock piling pasta,beans and toilet roll....!!

 

[DMA's]

He's usually bang on lineups for Spurs.

Interesting if lloris doesn’t start. He is their captain would be a big statement from conte. Particularly as Forster is utter wank

 

[FantasyIreland]

I'd be happy with Grealish - Haaland - Foden up top. Stones & Aké CB (Laporte doesn't seem to like Spurs and Dias has had a decent lay off). Gundo, KDB and Rodri midfield. Although, I wouldn't even be opposed to KDB on the bench

We need to play a team that is solid in structure,where everyone knows their job and feels comfortable performing it,and isnt afraid to play on the front foot and take the game to the opposition.

Play whichever 11 can offer that.

 

[SWP's back]

Whilst I’ll obviously watch the game, this is the first time in a long time that I’m not overly optimistic going into it.

Agree! Spurs will roll up know this time Conti tactics is the right tactics against us Son and Kane will have that extra step in confidence in getting the chances and when I’ve watch Kane last few games when he has a half chance he always hits the target with pace! Hopefully we wrong and we bag an early goal or two..

I only just finished the bog roll I stockpiled at the start of the pandemic!!!

The way some of yous are going on you'd think we hadn't beaten Spurs in 25 years. It's fucking Spurs, lads.

Haha, we do say this every season though!

They played much better in the second half against Arsenal than we have in weeks.

This is the opportunity to put a bit of pressure on Arsenal. Win tonight, and on Sunday, and the gap will be down to two points before they play our lovely neighbours at tea time. To purloin an old advertising slogan; just do it!

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

They played much better in the second half against Arsenal than we have in weeks.

They had a bright 15 minutes while 2-0 down after getting booed off at half time for about the 10th time this season. Nothing to be scared of. If they beat us then I'll join the doom and gloomers about how the season is going to pan out.

Lots of snow here, as well. Would be quite the perilous trek to the Etihad today.

Given, I currently live in Maine, USA, but I wanted to commiserate, all the same. ;-)

Waiting for @snorky to call me a plastic.

No way would I insult anyone residing near Salems Lot mate!

Anyways I live in the Shire so its mainly mud tracks and horse n carts here.
I will be bringing Snork senior up to the game on Sunday, so if you northern monkeys can clear the paths it would be appreciated :)

We are going to stuff the spuds tonight, no worries.

I told you all!

 

[bluedreamer]

Tonight is a huge night for City. If we don’t win and play as badly as we have been recently , we can say goodbye to the title and be grateful for a top 4 finish.
For me it all hinges on Haaland.
pre World Cup we played how we have for years and Haaland took advantage of huge amount of attempts at goal and chances we created.
post World Cup we now seem obsessed with just getting the ball to him. The rest of our front 6 rarely threaten, and EH is man marked out of the game. Hence one shot on target in 360 minutes
If we don’t create much in the first half Pep needs to make big changes at half time.
Think Chelsea 4-0.

 

[Jack Hackett]

I hope you crush them and send them back spiralling down to mid table mediocrity where they belong

 

[blue ranger]

One of my mates works in town, says there's not been any snow near his office. Hopefully there's not much if any near the stadium?

I’m about 5 miles from ground. No snow at all.

 

[Gray]

Spurs are a counter attacking team, something we struggle with.

 

[Chak19]

We have to beat them this time, Arsenal did it twice, rags did it, Newcastle did it, even the dippers beat them, it will be embarassing if we don't.

 

[Bill Walker]

Son scoring is pedictable but he's crap and scored in one game this season, surely we can't gift him a comical goal in the first twenty minutes.

Please don't say that, the God's are listening to you and looking at each other.

He means Alfie's Son is getting a hat trick!

I'd say it's more likely he'll open the scoring with his first shot deep into the second half. 0-0 at half time is par for the course lately.
