View from the Away End

[CuteMancs]

This is the best I can get for our visitors tonight. They are not a very confident, even though they seem to have found some away form at the moment. We have to get the three points, and the seagulls don’t have much to play for, hopefully this means we will be top of the table at 10pm tonight.

COME ON CITY!!!

And the rest…

After Liverpool's routing of Man utd the pressure is on city for a result. They're either going to batter us or crumble and we'll get a result.

Away from home, we have hope. It’s really not as simple as a title contender handing us our posteria. I can see another packed midfield with a false 9 such as Trossard playing.

If we avoid back luck, we could grab a point or so. This is the best away season in our history - it’s time to upset the apple cart again!

Intriguing game tonight. I imagine we’ll be brimming with confidence with little pressure on us. How mentally tough are City? We know how good their players are. The crowd’s reaction if City don’t take an early lead or go behind could influence the game. The bookies give us pretty well no chance:
City 2/11
Draw 6/1
Albion win 16/1

I think City will come out at a gazillion miles an hour (approx.). If we get through the first 15 minutes without conceding it'll get really interesting.

No better time to play the old Citzens. Pressure will be on them tonight and the home fans will be on them if they are aren’t ahead after 15 minutes. A real test of bottle for them. Hopefully we set up in a similar way to our last two, play without fear and see Pep and our Graham caught in a touch line bust up after a famous Albion victory.

After the dippers demolition of Manure last night, I can only guess Citeh will be more determined to get back in the PL nest tonight. Stranger things have happened.

Manchester City crumble... chance would be a fine thing. After our last 2 results I'm hopeful we can sneak something... who knows, just hope we don't get battered but we've got a good record of playing very well v the top teams...!

Three away wins in a row - against Arsenal, Spurs and Citeh - would be unbelievable. So sadly, I don't believe it will happen.

Free-est of free hits after the last two games. Bring it on.

After the massive strop their fans had when we won at the end of last season, I would absolutely love it if we beat them again. Actually I'd take a draw and good chuckle at all the hatred and nonsensical bile towards the Albion on BlueMoon.

Well unfortunately if history repeats like it has the last four seasons then we've had our lot wins-wise. We've had 9 wins every season ever since we've got promoted and spurs was our 9th win.

I really hope we can nick a point (at least) up there tonight. Throw some dirt in City's eye.

3-0 City. They're a totally different prospect to Spurs or Arsenal. Can't see anything but a defeat.

I don't think this is the best City side we've played in our five years at this level but they'll be far too good for us. Not sure why I say that really, Liverpool weren't when we went there.

Thanks CM, your efforts are well appreciated.

Nowt different from these than most fans but with less anger.
A lot of hope, tinged with fear is the usual set of thoughts when teams visit us.

I think City players have endured several seasons of pressure and it has become normality. Can't see City being nervous or edgey, just anothe game and another opponent to [play and beat.I think Pep has cemented the belief that there are no shit Prem teams, so I can't imagine any City complacency.

We have to win and win big...we are falling behind too far in the GD stakes.
