'''''''''''''''''''''''''''COME ON CITY''''''''''''''''''''

 

[Blue Smarties]

Good morning all, lets fucking have em.

 

[roj]

Just watched Mel C and Emma B do I know him so well on YouTube. Sorry got distracted, can't remember what I was gonna say now.

 

[whos_kompany85]

Don't think I haven't felt these nerves before, but it's not been since 2012. I'm not sure he'll start anyone who hasn't started before, could be dinho and either fernando or delph.
Come on city.

 

[Sergio<3]

Just got in from a night shift, couple of hours sleep if I can then up to see the mighty blues tear these rag cunts a new one! CITY

 

[rnblade]

If TWATTENBERG gets his way, he will dishing out penalties to the rags all afternoon, while we won't get a sniff.
Time for the guys to put that bell end Zlatan back in his box.
Come on CITY.
I'll settle for a 1-0 for us now.

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

That derby where they pointedly targeted Wright-Phillips was one of the most cynical, snide things I've ever seen in a football game.

I remember that game well, you're spot on and it went completely unmentioned by the media or none blues. Like you say it's one of the most cynical things I've seen in football. I never want to see City employ those kind of tactics, regardless of the opposition.

 

[AustinBlue]

Came over from Texas with my best mate it's his first football match. Also, apparently, the beer is stronger here than he is used to. Hoping he recovers in time. Anyone want his ticket if not? :). Buzzing. Hark now hear, the city sing...

 

[TINY]

Shitting it

 

[zen gambler]

I'm not even in bed yet, got to get up at around 4.00 AM to watch this one, before we head off to the ferry for Vancouver Island to watch the granddaughters play football in Victoria!!

Come on City.

I'm getting up at 4am in Vancouver as well to watch the game. I hope you guys smash United!

I'm a Liverpool fan (ducks for cover), but i see this as a 2-0 or a 3-1 win.

 

[mosssideblue]

Really looking forward to the game. Play as we know we can and we should fear no one, not even that shower

 

[malg]

Shitting it

Yep.

 

[Pleatfooted]

Put those bastards to the sword blues! I firmly believe pep has something special up his sleeve that will ram all those so called pundits / experts comments right back down their traps

 

[bluemonkey71]

Shaking like a shitting dog. Off to work

 

[SWP's back]

I've been up since five (3am uk time). Can't sleep. Read just about every article written on the derby in the last three days. Listened to four different football podcasts to try and calm my nerves and nothing is working.

I don't think I've ever been so up for a derby. I fucking loathe those cunts and that doesn't do it justice. I hate everything about them. Their players are cunts. Their manager is a fucking disgrace and their fans are the football equivalent of herpes.

I hope football prevails today and we teach them a lesson again and please don't let Clattenburg fuck us over once again.

 

[Elbow beards]

Happy Derby boys!!!!! Let's smash these rag pond life back in to last century and may we walk in to work on Monday with our heads held high and a cheeky skip in our step.




Or a draw will do.

 

[jimharri]

Shitting it

Yep; I hate derby days. The thought of losing to that shower of cunts really does get to me. If we had a decent defence, I'd be more confident as our selection of attacking players (even without Kun) is the best in the league.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Given the furor over Marinner "not seeing" Sergio's phantom elbow, you can be sure Clattenburg will call it tight and see everything. Doesn't bode well for the game ending 11-11. Also, given that United will try to physically dominate City, I have to expect a large number of yellows and maybe a red or even two!

Beyond that, I just hope City play excellent football. After that, it all comes down to moments, chances taken, and mistakes made.

There is absolutely zero reason why City can't win this game by a couple of goals (0-2 my prediction), but the same is true of United if they pump balls into the box from midfield or get Martial, Valencia, Shaw, or Rashford behind the full backs and put decent balls into the box in the air, or pulled back to the penalty spot.

Should be a good game that may still be in th balance in the 95th minute.

Given I just got home from a flight and am still a bit pumped, and it is almost 2am here, and the game is on in a few hours, it might be a loooong night with very little sleep, but I'm going to have to try. Enjoy your morning, lads and lasses, and let's stuff 'em!

 

[BlueS]

I think either team could win this. or it might be a draw.

 

[colombia-mcfc]

Exactly. How many games has Kelechi had to come of the bench to make an impact? plenty. How many of those games were crucial winners for us? plenty. I'm really excited by this guy and even though its a big blow with Sergio's ban, this is his time to shine now. Not even Bony can stand in his way now. He's the man for the future. Come on City!

But seriously it annoys me when sky sports say that foreigners struggle with the pace and intensity of the premier league. It's like they ignore that 70% of the players in the league are foreign. Remember when Yaya first joined, Paul Merson said De Jong,Barry and an aging Viera were better than I him and he said Aguero is 100x inferior to Tevez. English players really showed their intensity against Iceland didn't they.
