Putting a tenner on Watford.

That is yet another duck in their row....................
First, us getting beat in the semi-final
Second, the sacking of their coach
Third, the ref

This takes as much as my attention As a preseason friendly. Can’t see us win as Watford will want it more by far. And tbh I’m not that bothered. I just hope players stay free of any injuries.

Hopefully we'll start with serious momentum tonight and keep it going (that includes Eddie at the back). It's always harder to start slowly and then try to up the tempo. That's what happened first half in the Semi final against The Arse.

One of my bug bears is the fannying at the back, Otamendi moves 10 yards forwards with the ball, puts his foot on it, pulls it back then passes it sideways 10 yards or back to Eddie. Ederson was doing it too first half from the kick off instead of shifting it with pace either out wide or to the full backs to get the momentum going.

It would be nice to see our last two Prem fixtures used as a build up (with shedloads of goals) prior to twatting Real Madrid and shoving it up Senor Teabag's arse.

1-4 City

The only thing we have to play for is 100 goals but hopefully that will be enough to give them a kick up the arse

Motivation is the key, will we have it?

 

[Centurions]

I might have gone for a loss for the first time ever on here, but now they've sacked their manager(again), I'm going for an easy canter for us. 100 goals coming up ;)

Can't see us being up for this in the slightest, again resulting in a below par performance. Going for a 1-1 draw, the positive being a few academy lads in the starting line up, hmmmm.

You're overly positive for a change.

A clean sheet gets Ederson the golden glove.

3 assists for KDB to break Henry's record.

9 goals away from 100.

Sterling is 3 goals away from 30 for the season and 20 in the league for the first time.

Jesus is 2 away from becoming the second highest scoring brazilian* player in english top flight history.

Silva is 2 away from overtaking Bergkamp to go 5th in all time assists

They have lots of individual small milestones to play for and of course selection against Madrid.

I think we will win by enough that everyone says we are just flat track bullies again.
