No, he'll pull something in the warm up. Or walking up the tunnel. Or trap his finger in the changing room door.

We've scored in something like 59 consecutive home games and need one more to score 100 this season. If any of you aren't expecting us to draw a blank today, you're no longer proper City fans.

How can you see the invisible man? :)
We'll see a shirt run out with 35 on the back.

Spoiled alert, he doesn't pass fit.

I'm in this boat.Cardiff will come with belief and a very big bus and we know they can be dangerous on the break and from set plays.But if our key players get it right, and we have 6 of them, we will win by at least 2.

Could actually be right. Might be like Pearces last game playing for us when he needed one more goal for his ton and seem to remember he missed a pen at the end!

These types of games are all about getting an early goal imo. We struggled against Palace and the longer we went without scoring the more confident they got and the more frustrated we got.
If you go out and score in the first twenty minutes or so then the opposition's game plan goes to shit and it could turn into a walk over.

This. The trouble for these teams is that we create too many chances not to score at least 1 or 2 so they need to score to get something from the game. Cardiff will look to get something out of dead balls and long balls so we need to concentrate at the back. Just as important is to get the ball quickly into their final third when any rare attack breaks down. That's when Cardiff will be at their most vulnerable.
