The game is off

[Mattyc55]

It's a shame but we are missing key players and it gives us a nice rest before the Chelsea game.. A few more sessions for Nasri to get fit too

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Pissed off, but its actually not too bad considering our schedule. Gives us a chance to get some players fit.

 

[Richard]

Anyone know why this decision couldn't be made an hour ago? Never going to get better.

Bad news coz was looking forward to it but great news for the team. Everyone fit for the reschedule. Plus it would have been a leveller in that wind. Good news as far as I'm concerned. Sad for fans travelling from far

 

[pudge]

Could be a blessing in disguise

 

[mammutly]

Knew it would be off!

clever sod

 

[Cobwebcat]

At least our unfit players maybe back for the rearranged game

And more rest ahead of Chelsea

This.

All our players should be back for the next Premier game.

Come on you rags!

I,ve been telling my blue mates all day the game will be off,scandalous decision to leave it so late ,not having a go at City,the police should have called it off at 16-30 when it was quite clear that it was going to be a one off weather situation.
We,ll let everyone set off ,chance getting stuck in already bad traffic situation and chance damage to your vehicle or worst to individuals ,then call it off an hour before the KO , typical no thought for the general public.
Let's face it the game would have been a complete farce in weather conditions such as this.

Good call GMP and it also puts paid to a night of moaning on the various threads on here. Everyone's a winner. Get home safe blues and mackems.

 

[wattle]

Ok. Chance to watch the sky match and cheer on those red devil...... Aaaaaaagh did I just say that!!!!!!

 

[bluegirl74]

right decision for me, i wouldn't send a dog out in this weather. gutted for the sunderland team & fans who've travelled but wish them (and obviously all the blues who've set off) a safe journey home.

exactly. great news.

sorry for those who have travelled for either team.

 

[Ban-jani]

Wtf is Ian Cheeseman and the m.e.n doing!? Give us an offical quote!!!!

 

[paulchapo]

Good news really as it gives the players a rest and a chance for our injured players to get fit. Even better news if the rags beat Arsenal as our main rivals will have all dropped points.

 

[welsh_andy]

blessing in disguise, least gives more time for our players.
gutting for those that have travelled to game though. safe journeys back guys and gals

 

[pedigreeblue]

And still nothing on the official site...!!!?

 

[BigOscar]

Hard to criticise the decision really, the weather is pretty mental and more and more roads are getting shut. Although annoying that it's close to the game, you can also see the logic behind giving it a chance. From a purely footballing point of view, I'd far rather play it at a later date with better conditions and hopefully some more fit players

 

[Bill]

dzeko was shit again.

 

[manimanc]

I have a feeling this re-arranged game will be the game to clinch the title for us......

Pro city agenda! Wait for for players. ;-)
