In town. Where’s the party?

For my dissertation, I am conducting a survey on policing abroad for fans of English clubs and how this differs from UK policing. It would be great to get City fan's experiences abroad! The survey should take roughly 3 minutes! Thank you.

If you're here for the champions clap your hands
If you're celebrating now clap your hands
If you're happy that we did it and you really wanna show it
If you're here for Man City clap your hands

If you're feeling like a winner stomp your feet
If you're proud of your players stomp your feet
If you're happy that we did it then you really gotta show it
If you're here for Man City stomp your feet

If you wanna cheer together shout hooray - Hooray!
If you're one with the team shout hooray - Hooray!
If you're happy that they did it then you really gotta show it
If you're here for Man City shout hooray - Hooray!

Just sayin

If you start it then I’ll join in.

I had forgotten that chant, what a great one it was. I would love to hear it today as the Swansea players line up to give us the guard of honour. "Bring on the champions, bring on the champions!"

Does a guard of honour improve our chances of beating Swansea?

I suspect Swansea think their guard of honour and other celebrations will soften the mentality of our players and give them a better chance of taking something from the game.

Could be a spectacle today. The pressure’s gone but I’ve got a feeling the lads will turn on the style and the goals.

No idea but that is the standard practice. It isn't done to wind Swansea up or soften our resolve anyway why shouldn't we celebrate? Swansea are fighting relegation I doubt they will need ant extra motivation.

I have a feeling Mendy will start and will be given 60 minutes.

I'd say the reverse. Have him on the bench and, if all is going well, bring him on for the final 20 minutes or so.

That’s what I originally thought too. But now he announced that he is back on Twitter. That’s a hint to starting for me. Also started the EDS game last week and was brought off instead of just coming on late.
