Its the same team we beat 6-3 at our place. And the 3 is flattering to them.

Not scared of these pricks. This team embarrassed themselves in the week. They're coming out with a chip on their shoulder.

Are you mad?
Philips was terrible on Wednesday
Don't want him anywhere near the squad never mind the first xi!

He didn't say Phillips. He said Phil (you know as in Foden).

Could be Phil as in Phillip Schofield?

A quick pint then off to find the Mancunian section in that shithole in Trafford.

Only got the 3 goals due to us making changes otherwise it would have been 10 :)

Cancelo will really make an impression today, fuck knows for which side though ha

I'm hoping we don't see him

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Or Punxsutawny Phil seeing a shadow which means 6 more weeks of winter for the scum.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Might get an unexpected boost if Easter Island is selected.
Probably stick with Warwick the Argentine though

I’ve had the team confirmed from a trusted source:

Ederson
Walker
Akanji
Ake
Cancelo
Rodri
De Bruyne
Bernardo
Mahrez
Haaland
Foden

Foden is better at pressing than Grealish, it makes sense. The first 30 minutes may be a bit frantic, we'll need our best pressers on the pitch to control the game.

Laporte on the bench makes sense, too, given his injury problems last year. Might be risky to start him 3 times in 6 days.

Cancelo would be a risky choice, given his form and state of mind. Could go both ways. But he won us the game at United last season with forcing an OG and assisting Bernie's goal. If two from KDB, Foden and Cancelo play close to their best, we are highly likely to win.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Two hours to go and the media are still frantically polishing the giant red turd, trying to convince everyone that their darlings are 'back'.

Come 2:30, they'll be snivelling back in their offices realising that however much it is polished, a turd is still a turd.

Come on City... Get these bastards back in their box.

CITY! CITY! CITY!
