Fantasy ending
Ortega gets sent off we go 1 behind.
Carson comes on and Haaland equaliises.
1 Minute to go and we get a corner, pep says ok for scott to go up the other end.
Scores with a diving header.

I thought magic mushrooms came out in late August

3 nil up, Cherry and half time all in the same sentence - why has that just sent a shiver down my spine?

Bournemouth mate, it never leaves you

Go back a few weeks even months and to be told then that all you need to do is beat West Ham at the Etihad on the final day of the season to be Premier league champions for a 4th consecutive season I would of ripped their hand off.
Stop worrying about Arsenal, the hard work of getting to this stage as been completed.
City are sharks and will smash West Ham on Sunday and WE WILL BE CHAMPIONS AGAIN.

Had a quick question. I'm from the US but traveling to the UK this week for holidays. I'll be in Manchester for the West Ham game. Obviously the goal is to see if I can grab a ticket to see the game in person but if not, what are the best places to catch the game?

I want to be around other blues for when we win the league (fingers crossed). Would be my first time in the UK as an adult.


As for any predictions. I think 3-nill. Haaland brace and Foden score. Keep the same starting lineup minus Eddy.

I'd say that, normally, W Ham would have a 15% chance to avoid a loss.

But they are in poor form (conceded 5 goals in 2 of the last few games, conceded many chances vs Liverpool) and will be less motivated than us. Given also that the game is at home, the chance for a huge upset is small. But we should be careful as shit can happen.

The task is to find the right balance between control and aggression. If we don't score early, say in the first 30 minutes, the pressure might get to the players. We should be patient, but not too patient and not too fixated on control.

For the 3-2 against Villa they were in 14th place and they'd drawn their last 2 games against Burnley and Palace but they found themselves 2 nil up at ours with 15 minutes to go. On the other hand we've beaten West Ham fairly comfortably to win the league on the last day before, so let's hope it's more a case of that on Sunday!

Come on mate, we never score from corners.
