Stoke City V Man City - pre match thread

[Chi-town blues]

Cue for Crouch and his NBA goal ...again! Hughes will have his tits up for this game.
Fucking shit come on city ..lest smack this lots today.

Pellegrini sticking with the midfield duo of fernando & Fernandinho,they will play the first leg against barca (as yaya is suspended)and imo he is giving them as many games together for this reason.....

RE: Kolarov, he crosses well. Maybe he'll bang in some genius corners.

Lol. Genius Post.

 

[Manc in London]

We are missing, arguably, our two best defenders, based on performances this season.

Picking Kola makes me think Pelle believes Stoke will park the bus.

For any stato, Is it true that we've NEVER won a game Fernando as started?

 

[raymondkl92]

Nothing less than three points. Anything less and we could join that lot down below us struggling for CL places.C'mon Cittttyyyyyyy!!!!!

NOT TRUE. he started and scored the first goal away at West Brom.3-1

 

[J_Bow]

Kolarov's basically in for the hope that Stoke sit back and be compact so he can provide us with some width and some shit crossing.

Why oh why is this game not on TV? They're showing shite on channels which this match could be on.

There are fans of other sides who might say the same about our game, were it on. And, it has to be said, for a neutral fan we wouldn't be the most attractive side to watch at the moment. Too slow and laboured in our play.

You'd have to be mad to chose Man City away to Stoke for TV tbh, even if we were in good form.

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Kolorov probably in for his height rather than his crossing ability as looks like no one to cross to!

Can't believe he is starting Fernando again.

 

[Damien10]

Hopefully Koralov doesn't make the game harder then it needs to be for Mangala.

I think the word you're looking for is stench

Exeter, you are far enough away from them..support Man Utd..can't abide someone who's a million miles from Manchester calling me a rag..just follow Exeter or Plymouth..go and have a piss on the sea front in the wind..

11 posts and 9 of them bitching and whining about how shit we are. Start acting like a City fan and you might get treated like one. Just a thought

just put me in your foe's list hey..we've got nothing in common..

How did I forget Roma away, he played well that night. Thought it was bull.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

I'll go for a 3-1 City win and Everton to take something from Stamford Bridge...game on

[I Live In A Blue House]

Sorry ppl but I need to get this off my chest: FFS we are The reigning CHAMPIONS with a settled squad of players (with virtually 2 players per position) I am getting pissed off with our lack of GOALS scored tally. If our Manager can't motivate the squad enough then there is something seriously wrong with his capabilities? That's a load of bollocks I have just said which means 2 things. 1. Our CAPTAIN needs to sort it out on the pitch. 2. ALL players need to get their act together as a TEAM! Stating the obvious but who is to blame?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Really look forward to any replies. CTID season ticket holder 40 years!!!!!!! 2-1 CITY

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

The two Ferns without Yaya is a recipe for disaster as is Mangala & Kolarov on the left hand side of the back four. Nailed-on win then.
