KDB still out. Decision on Fern today.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

This looks like the toughest of the last 3. Rat boy suggests Otter Vinny at CB and Laporte at LB to counter their height.

100% we are back to the luxury of one game a week and only 3 to go.

No resting anyone, if we get injuries as we go, the so be it. Better that saving a player for the Leicester game bullshit


Absolutely, No dicking about with the team now Pep please.

One small break in week stuffed full of hurdles, bad karma and unfortunate co-incidences for City.

But champions are able to surf whatever waves hit them and City are still champions and can continue to be next year!

Up the blues.
Fuck Lolerpool
And lets stuff Burnley 6-0 :)

Start with the same team that finished on Wednesday before Serge was subbed. Pace and retaining possession we know what to expect from burnley so let's put them away and then manage the game. 10am start so should be on the pop in burnley for 1045 come the fuck on City

Quite strange! Even though Burnley are safe they've just has a Burnley Landlord on saying that they put a dent in Chelsea's top 4 hopes and now they want to do it to our title hopes. Must be a Dipper fan having our 6 fingered friends off.

Personally, I hope her pub floods after being struck by lightening before it subsides into a sink-hole.

I'm 74 and have supported the blues since 1956. It has always been my experience that the tiny town of Burnley, ( some 40,000 in the 1970s I believe) invariably had City as their second team. Always friendly folks in the 60s and 70s when I was there... before life and jobs took me south.
Has it really changed that much?

To be fair, it may have twinned with wherever but nothing has really changed. Bit like Wigan ;-)

To HT, I have a mate who is a staunch Burnley fan and he's always had a strong connection with City. However, he has told me in the past that their are quite a few Rag/Dipper followers, Rags mainly, as a 2nd team due to the need to be part of the PL.

Great to hear from lifelong supporters and the few who saw a bit of glory prior to this period. I was born in '71 so its been quite lean but wouldn't change it for the world, its in the DNA. However, I do note the '56 date, were you classed as the Glory Hunter of the time ;-)
