The Derby at the Swamp Pre match Discussion Thread

[moz]

best 11 for the rest of the season twat em at the swamp win the cup and run em as close as poss ..... set the stall out and stop f***in about roberto.....onwards an upwards

This has echoes of the Liverpool game at Anfield in 2011 a few days before the semi

Whilst as rabid haters of the rags we'd hate to field an understrength team there and get beaten, the bigger game is the semi final.

It's times like these that big time managers like Roberto earn their corn. I wouldn't want to have to pick the team for OT, in some ways it's a no win situation

Chelsea will be fucking knackered by the time they play the Rags and as for Arsenal I doubt they'll seriously threaten a result against a United team with the title in their sights.

I can see united players easing off the gas because in their minds it's won, plus Chelsea and arsenal have a lot to play for looking at where spurs are.

Stranger things have happened and if we beat them, psychologically, things start to get a bit nervous and teams like West Ham and Villa aren't fully safe, even West Ham could still get sucked into a relegation battle with some bad results. If it comes to playing Chelsea or Arsenal with the title still not wrapped up.. I almost fancy us to steal it, not going to hold my breath but a lot can still happen yet, they were shite today and they had so much to play for. The biggest problem if things were to get 'really' close is the goal difference.

Mebbe Stoke n west ham can give those dirty twats some stick n get wins then were not so far off some squeeky bum time in may. Crouch n Owen may stick it to them plus Arse n Chelski still hate them n dont wanna hand over an easy win. Its a longshot but u never know?
Heres hoping we smash em next week n put them in shock with the daylight between us shrinking and Kun n Tevez running em into the ground.
COME ON CITY!

they will 100% nobble our players.

No they won't , that will risk yellow/red cards. What they will want to do is beat us thereby effectively winning the title and rubbing our noses in it.Unfortunately they're a game short if that happens.But hey let's go and ruin their party.Anyway I thought you didn't care any more.

First derby in a long time where the nerves haven't been killing me leading in. Last season I was a wreck the week before, especially before the 1-0 (one of the best atmospheres we've ever had at the CoMS/Etihad, what a night!). Now I really want us to win but it's only for the temporary bragging rights all derbies bring, a bit like the old days really. A draw wouldn't bother me either.

 

[citymad]

We need a win period. Spurs. Arsenal and Chelsea are going to be chasing us down. Can't get complacent.

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

I reckon our fans throughout the derby should sing...

'Wembley, Wembley, we're the famous Man City and we're going to Wembley...'

Having hoped to get to the FA Cup final and Champions League final this should get them going!!!

 

[inbetween]

Not worried about this one, more worried about Spurs away.

Ah hahahahahahahaha. Brilliant. Seriously though, they really will.

We're City we always care, losing to them cunts is never an option.

Fuckin hate that dirty rag song.

 

[LHarper]

Mancini should/will play a full strength side.

Like us all, he desperately wants to win this game. Even if it has no real bearing on the league.

[Tbilisi]

Did anyone hear them singing "were having a party on Derby Day" at Chelsea,was hard to hear I know but would be good to sing that back to them if we have another Oct 23rd moment.

 

[City_Sean]

strange feeling for this, titles over, and for me the bigger game is chelsea.

 

[lindy64]

Its always great to beat them and I think we will but either way we cant win in the media.
If they win, the emphasis will be on how much better they are than us and if we win it will be about how they ddnt need to win anyway and were a bit tired.
Either way we wont care cos we will no the truth.
