Someone with a pair of balls:)

Dave doesn't play for us anymore. So who else? :)

Who remembers going there late 70s fa cup reply snowed like a bustard funny though snowballs flying everywhere think we won 1-0

See posts 104-5 for more on that subject

New manager syndrome is long over with them. 3-0 City. Dias on the scoresheet!
We should be spanking WBA easily, but this season you never know...
On top of the pile tonight.

The team really picks itself for this game and the only real consideration is swapping Torres for Jesus

Yes I think this will be the team just a shame Foden wont be playing more centrally

 

[Chi-town blues]

Leave it to Phil. He will glide through their defensive lines and the ball will be in the back of the net before the keeper moves..

Give foden a smallest hole and he will glide through like on top of icelandic ;)

He'll be given license to drift inside and hopefully he'll be terrifying and tormenting the full back

I'll gladly take a scare-free 2-0 right now, if it was offered to me.

Jesus is a confidence player mate, I don’t think he’ll be benched now he’s got that crucial goal.

Took his goal brilliantly against Cheltenham, we kept on playing Bernardo when he was playing poorly and that has worked , would love him to score a hat-trick

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Is Fern injured? If not I’d replace Rodri with him in this team and I’d be very happy. To me, Fern is as important as Kompany too this team.

True , but i would save Dinho for the more difficult games like Spurs at home and the Dippers away , Rodri has been doing OK recently.

2-0 City, and 2 minutes until a squad price comparison or the cost of either Dias/Cancelo

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Good luck City. Hope you guys go top tonight

Good luck City. Hope you guys go top tonight

Win our game in hand and we should be OK :)

How times change. A few weeks ago Gundogan was getting dogs abuse (not from you Paul) and now he is in peoples fantasies!

I always liked gundo but at one point I thought we needed a bit more bite in midfield and he was a luxury we didn’t need as after his injuries I still think he is reluctant To go full in . I can see why pep thinks that he world of him .

I should be in the Vine now
Fuck you COVID

After his bad injury for Dortmund he’s always reluctant to tackle, don’t need him tackling just control the midfield area

3-0 City with a West Brom goal called offside due to the new rule "guidance"

3-0 City with a West Brom goal called offside due to the new rule "guidance"

The “guidance” that none of the idiots refereeing the matches will even understand.

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

Fat Sam will do us tonight. WBA will be very well organised and defend in numbers, catching us only on set pieces from which they will score 2-1 to them. VAR will chalk off a couple for us and they will get quite a few decisions. Payback for our Villa goal and also the underlying agenda of keeping Man Utd in top spot

they only understand guidance in side brown envelope

 

[mat]

Kavanaugh reffing and Passion on VAR.

Have our work cut out tonight.

 

[andyhinch]

Could go past 40 points tonight and I can relax.
