Was going to this until it doubled after a few days.

Bern unwell and hasn't travelled?

Seriously lacking in the creativity side.

Are dungba/ olise and paqueta the best we can Di?

Dias Bernardo and KdB not in the squad for the Super Cup. Bernardo a surprise. Hopefully just a niggle. Stones back.

Apparently Bernardo is unwell. Hopefully fit for the Bar Codes on Saturday.

Stick Ed in midfield , his passes were falling just a tad short for Erling on Friday. Perhaps , being a little more upfield will make up for his lack of strength in his kicking. He used to easily set Kun up from a deadball kick. Having said that mind, in midfield he'd probably loft the ball over their crossbar.

Although he wasn’t listed in the squad Ruben travelled to Greece. Good news.

It's a nonsense game that will be forgotten by Thursday. Just hoping we take it easy and get through without any injuries.
We've enough for now.

Probably just me but I want us to go all out for it. Get another one ticked off the list. Same when the FIFA bullshit jamboree starts towards Christmas.

BT or TNT as it now is, for unexplained reasons. Can't see it on City TV/Plus/Youtube, whatever it is.

Dias can’t play because of concussion rules but he’s training and will be fine for Saturday.

Are you near any bars mate? The Greeks love their footie so shouldnt be a problem to find a bar showing it, especially as they are hosting the match.

Keep an eye on OS they should list which channels in each country is showing.

Surely it’s a 48 hour rule?

Seeing how we are in it, we may as well go all out to win it. It is another pot when all is said and done and one which is quite exclusive to be in

Plus hopefully it will iron out the sloppy play we showed at Burnley and get us back on it

Agree with this win It - I will wash my mouth out

But I remember seeing pisscan talking about this or something like it . He said that he put out a second team because he had a prem game after it, but when he saw the oppo celebrating the win/cup he knew he had fucked up ,
