Couldn't see a "what the opposition are saying" thread and thought that didn't last long!!! A quick Google later it throws up next to fook all. Two independent sites which have jack all on (last topic/reply two days avoid) and even on the tribal and footie mad types Bugger all about playing us except one thread about a spare ticket.

People have told me that they are inbred over there but thought they would have got internet by now?

Method
1. You can prepare the prunes in Armagnac several days in advance. Soak them overnight in the cold tea, then drain them, barely cover with water, add the sugar and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain, sprinkle over the Armagnac, cover and leave in the fridge.



2. Make the apple stuffing by mixing all the ingredients together.



3. Make the forcemeat stuffing by mixing all the ingredients together with the reserved goose liver, finely chopped.



4. Preheat the oven to 220C/ gas 7. Then begin by placing the forcemeat stuffing into the neck flap end of the goose, pressing it in as far as you can, tucking the neck flap all round it then patting it with your hands to make a rounded shape. Secure the flap underneath with a small skewer. Next, place the apple stuffing in the body cavity as it is - although it looks raw and chunky, after cooking it will collapse to a fluffy mass.



5. Season the goose well with salt and pepper, lay it on a rack in a roasting tin, then place it in the centre of the pre-heated oven. Give it 30 minutes' initial cooking, then reduce the temperature to gas mark 4, 180°C and give it another 3 hours. That is for an 5 kg goose plus stuffing: allow 15 minutes less for 4.5 kg; 15 minutes more for 5.4 kg.



6. Meanwhile, make the stock with the giblets.



7. When the goose is cooked the juices will run clear when you pierce the thickest part of the leg with a skewer. Remove the bird to a serving dish, snap off the wing tips and allow to rest for 20 minutes or so before serving. Drain off the fat from the tin and make a light gravy with the giblet stock and a little wine. Heat the prunes gently in a frying pan, and stand in a warmed dish. Give each person a little of each of the stuffings, and serve the gravy and sauce separately. The nicest vegetable accompaniments would be some crisp roast potatoes and red cabbage.


8. Voila, our goose is stuffed & cooked. 5-0 Man City.

Beat me ;-0

[bigblue]

One of the more attacking starting line ups I've seen from Roberto all season. Feelin confident that we could get back in our free flowing, goal scoring form.

COME ON CITY!

[Slim]

Very strong lineup there.

With the exception of Kolo, that's the Spurs lineup isn't it?

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Glad to see Clichy is fit to start.He got an injury in a Kolo tackle yesterday and I was a bit worried.
Clean sheet is what I want today more than anything else.

[kinkylola]

only yaya and barry in midfield could be an issue, I can see them being pulled out of shape by yaya's forward running. Hopefully our attack totally overwhelms them.
