***Rags v City Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

Early KO today, must be a bummer to get up from Surrey so early!!
Only one thing matters today. Win. End of. Hopefully the circus around the change of manager will affect them more than us. We will be buoyant following the win at Newcastle midweek and should be ready to go again

Am confident about today. Can see us clicking up front in a big way

6-2 Foden Haaland (2) Doku Cherki Silva

[Mase]

I'm worried as usual when it comes to derby day.

At the kids 11:30 kick off - plenty of rags to give shit to before the game.

Come on City!!!

[nottsblue]

Rarely feel nervous these days. We’ve been favourites in every derby probably for the last decade or more. And after Bacons not in my lifetime quote it makes it even more funny.

If there was a combined XI from both clubs I honestly don’t know if a single rag would make it in

[salford city]

Out early doors for this. Hopefully be back in my deserted local afterwards.
Swap out the keepers from Tuesday. I'd be tempted to start both Cherki and Foden behind Erling and Bernie will deffo start. We have to win today, nothing else.

Agreed. I wouldn't overthink this and I'd have Cherki and Foden both playing and go at them full pelt

That’s normal Mase. HNY by the way. Guehi mate. If it comes off we spoke about him 12 months ago…. X

Good old chompy on sky sports yesterday was asked to do his combined XI

Saw that. The rag had about 5 of theirs in the team. Absolute dickhead

[Nick]

Cherki over rat face easy

[sheblue]

The referee and officials are the main worry today. Well have to be very careful not to give Taylor any excuses to screw us.

[gmercer1]

VAR to the RAGS rescue

[PeterParker]

Are we one up yet?

[CTID Hants]

Your City side for the derby!

XI | Donnarumma, Lewis, Khusanov, Alleyne, Ake, Rodri, Bernardo (C), Semenyo, Foden, Doku, Haaland

SUBS | Trafford, Bettinelli, Reijnders, Cherki, Ait-Nouri, O'Reilly, McAidoo, Mukasa, Mfuni

[Kippax Sean]

5-2 City. The ref and VAR will do their very best to help the scumbags out. Haaland and Foden have been off the pace the last couple of games hopefully they'll be back at it today.

[gmercer1]

Don’t fancy Ake at left back. Should have been O’Reilly all day

Foden and Haaland have both been asleep since Xmas, they better wake up soon!

[Nick]

Fuck off ake at lb when the other two are fit and ait made the goal

Our best player on the bench again WTF

[Nick]

Don’t fancy Ake at left back. Should have been O’Reilly all day

Target him all day. He has one leg

[sheblue]

Didn't like our fullbacks.

[s1ty m]

Nunes?
