FUCK THESE CUNTS UP!!!!!!

Let's do this. Love your banner.

[Sister of fu]

A game we can't afford to lose. I wonder which city will turn up?

[Original Dub]

When was the last time we lost three in a row?

A game we can't afford to lose. I wonder which city will turn up?

We've been fairly average since the Burnley game, surely it's got to change soon. Trying to bring Sergio and Vince back in has not helped but now they've got a few games under their belt I'm expecting them to be up to speed now.

With Maureen being such a shitbag I reckon it's going to be the same old 'Park The Bus' and hit us with speed. We won't change our ways and there will be chances for both of us and it all depends who takes them.

Most seem to be going for the draw and I suppose that could be the outcome but I just have this sneaky feeling that we might edge it; the players will be up for this.

Come on the Blues!!!

[london blue 2]

I think they'll be confident to take us on on thier patch. Whether they succeed remains to be seen.

COME ON CITY. We haven't won a "big one" in a while now.

[City64]

Rumours this morning Ivanovic is injured ? Plus Fabregas doubtful , Fillipe Louis injured and Costa banned . Interesting !

[Crossie]

We won't have a better chance of beating them than this. But it's still feeling like a 0-0 or cunting 0-1 Hazard counter attack sucker punch after we've been all over them.

We need Sergio to be the difference today.

[South Stand Balti]

I'm hoping MP comes up with a tactical master plan today (not two left backs). Options are a bit limited with Afcon and injuries:
Hart
Zaba Kompany MDM Clichy
Fern 2
Navas Milner Fern 1 Siva
Aguero

Super Frankie to join the party late on and score the winner.

[Mikhail Chigorin]

Really worried about this.

I fully expect us to come away with nothing against this cheating set of cloggers and divers.

[Feed The Goat]

Nearly in London we will win today

[Bluemoon16]

Score very early please.

[ruralblue]

THIS!

Well okay am nearly in Skiptonia but think we'll nick it one nil. Though have a feeling it will be a boring game and Jose will play it safe but one of there lot to lose their head and take an early bath. No Lamps goal either think one of the Ferns will grab the winner late on.

[london blue 2]

Score very early please.

Please

No matter how the game ends this one will be very frustrating to watch with them rolling on the ground all the time

Come on City!

I'm hoping/expecting that VK & Serge are now somewhere close to full power, after two 'warm up' games.

If they are, I think we will win. If not, they will impair the team at both ends & we will be lucky to get a draw.

Saw a comparison between Silva & Hazard for this season & for goals scored, shooting pecentage, assists, pass completion; was surprised to find DS is ahead on everything as % minutes played.

Hazard has already played way more games though, hence scored more etc & we did find that system where Silva scored goals & the team looked like Barca. Then sacked it.

It's the taking players on bit though. If we had a midfielder who could do that; it fucks up the opponent's plans. If we had Hazard today, we would fuck these over, completely. We still may do, but take him out of their team & put him in ours, & I doubt they would even be close to us in the league.

Best Wishes to all who are going to the game. Do the lads proud and hopefully they'll do us proud on the pitch.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

I'm confident we'll win 0-1.
