Just seen PEG coming out off Queens Rd bus depot(with 2buses)
Doubt that how he parks the bus,will make 1 blind bit of notice after dippers game.
Players up for it Fans up for it,can see another 1st half just like Everton..

Hmmmmmmmm

two sips is hinting at something int he its quiet thread as well...somethign about a player we were offered last transfer window .........

Personally I’d go full strength tomorrow, but don’t think Pep will. Wouldn’t be surprised to see something like this:

Ederson
Danilo
Stones
Otamendi
Delph
Fernandinho
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Bernardo
Sterling
Aguero

Given the rotation Ric and the fact we have to play on Tuesday and this is the late game on Saturday I think this starting eleven is close to full strength Ric.

Merlin may be given time off again so if so wouldn't be available and Walker has been carrying a slight problem into games after missing a couple previously.

Vinny would love to lead us out to victory and if the fairy tale is to come to fruition tomorrow we might see him on the pitch and rightfully so for the final minutes but we have to have fit for Tuesday for the impossible dream as such Ric.

As such your team is virtually full strength as Manure would have gone to test Sane's temper and Gab is off the boil at present but will start if Kun doesn't come up tomorrow.

We're going into a game where we can win the title in front of our own fans against the scum.
Let's put Wednesday behind us for the moment, raise the fuckin' roof and enjoy every minute !
I've always maintained that winning the title two years in a row is more important than the CL. Let's face it, Chelsea won it in 2012, Liverpool won it in 2005 and the scum won it in 2009 and none of them were the best team in Europe, At the end of the day it's a cup knock out and, as Wigan showed a few weeks ago, every dog has it's day.
Titles first.
That said, I'm still confident about Tuesday...

1999, not 2009 !

Do the players not have a choice though? Surely if De Bruyne, Merlin, vinny etc go to pep wanting to play to win the league then would he listen? It’s not as if we are a goal behind the dippers it’s three!!! Surely we should go full strength for this and win the title and hope for no injuries!?

Heart says win but head says draw. I came home early from Denmark last season to watch moaninho park two buses and city happy to play all their football in front..... considering both managers were happy to play out that debacle my head probably has the right of it on this occasion.

I wouldn't have thought so, tbh.

Leaving dave out would be a mistake,leaving him and kev out would be inexcusable,hope he doesn't do that,top players want to play and can play all 3 games,i wouldn't like to be him if he fields a weakened team and we get beat after that shit show the other night
