What'd be your team? I'd go for:

Hart

Zabaleta - Demichelis - Mangala - Clichy

Fern (any) - Milner

Navas - Yaya - Silva

Aguero
Good defensive cover and plenty of options going forward.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

This could be the last important game for us for some of our players. They need to dig in and get the result. 0-2

[phips]

im interested to see who our fullbacks will be. that often tells a lot about Pellegrini's mindset

C'mon you blue boys. No passengers No regrets and remember the fans. This is their day. Turn the season around today. Cheers.

Turn it around? It's over. Today is just about pride and banter. In actuality, I can't remember a derby that's probably meant less since the takeover.

Cheers

I actually think this is as important as any other Derby. We're not only playing for pride, this time we are playing for an automatic qualifying place as well as putting breathing space between us and the likes of the Dippers & Saints. With the new CL money kicking in it's essential that we qualify automatically, enabling us to plan our summer accordingly.

I guess I'm pretty confident we are going to end up third no matter today's result.

You're right tho in that ending up 4th is a potential nightmare. Tho tbf the Arse walk it every season and seem fine.

Cheers

Arsenal always get pitted against some chumps but if it was us we'd somehow be drawn against the hardest team in it.

It's just the Platini/G14 way.

only in feb the rags were still crying about the dire football they were playing. They have won a few games with a decent result and now think they are world beaters.

the only chance they have is that our form has dipped due to lazy cunts. First rag game I have been concerned about for awhile.

We scored from a corner. Wow

Are you watching the 2012 Derby game where Komp's leaps like a salmon by any chance?

Just back from my own Sunday game (and post game beers). We won for the first time since late October, which I take as a good sign for the derby.

COME ON CITY!

Nice one. I'm saving the beer until 5 mins before KO, if I can last!

No in the vid you posted Beefy. 2nd goal from a corner

It'd be nice if we could break the hoodoo today, and I don't mind if it's from an own goal or Yaya's fat arse, just put it in the net.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Off to town to watch the match in the pub. Hopefully this thread'll make fun reading when I get back.

COME ON YOU BLUES!

Hopefully in a good way, not a Carl RANT way!

Rookie mistake - no beer in the fridge!
I'm too nervous to stay sober. May have to steal a Liebfraumilch from the missus.

If it's alcohol based, it's all good. Stealing it from the Mrs is just a bonus ;-)

Go for it.
