Champions -v- Aston Villa Build Up Thread

[City64]

11.30 am start in the Northern Quarter . Will be rocking !
Stagger up the miles platting cobbles by the canal then hopefully have enough in the tank to get up that fucking hill at the junction.
Party in the city centre after the game will worry about getting home around midnight hopefully !

Actually, what pub did we meet in all those years ago Liam - I know it wasn't the Townley and I'm half sure it wasn't Mary D's?

Yeah Mary D’s. You’d lost your passport I think

I watched City v United (Kompany header) in there as well and it was rammed. Soaked with beer when that goal went in!

Of all the teams Villa. The hate will make for a cracking atmosphere. Unbearable if we lose.

Jesus that's right. Fucking mare of a trip. Brother in law lost his passport, 4 hour train to holyhead followed by 3 hour boat trip. After losing a Derby one nil to lord fucking rashford.

That was it! I was going to watch a gig in Manchester afterwards and because we lost I went back to Mary D’s had a few more my phone battery died and I made my way into Manchester centre 3 hours after planned. Mrs was raging at me stood outside the venue

I have a cup final that day myself which takes me to kick off so straight home, tell the wife to leave with the kids and watch it in peace on my own.

Front three of mahrez-jesus-foden for me with kdb bernie and rodri midfield.

Defence picks itself…unfortunately.

[aaron bond]

Well, it's a very important game so it means Pep will overthink it and do something strange. Even though he should not be starting, I have a feeling Pep will play Sterling.

Foden should be back in the starting line-up. Ake should be at the back. We have no choice but to play Laporte, but Fern shouldn't be anywhere near the defence.

I'm confident our midfielders and attackers can do the job on Sunday. We keep possession well and are scoring plenty of goals. We just need to limit Villa to very few attacks because, Ake aside, the defenders have all been useless lately.

[ntipping]

Frustrated I can't make it to the game, at least it's on Sky I guess.

Ok , a few city twitter accounts saying John Stones and Kyle Walker trained this morning with the first team squad ……

[hayling22]

I think they will be up for it, purely because they are tailgating our season, and for once they can make a difference.

If Villa play their normal game, it should be straightforward
These games also have a twist somewhere, the most likely a scenario where either a defensive calamity on our part, or a fluke gives them the lead.
I am never surprised if that happens, but we will come through, even if we go a goal down

Video footage now confirming this ……

Great news, especially Walker.

[PeterParker]

So 6-0 it is.

[carl_feedthegoat]

I hope we give slippy G a torrid time when we play them .
Fucking gargoyle

Potentially we have a recognised back 4, lets see what Pep says tomorrow afternoon

[Mase]

Looks like there’s fuck all wrong with Stones. Hopefully he doesn’t go on a sesh between now and Sunday.

Quick close the pubs!
But seriously if he is fit enough to play he must start.

[Original Dub]

That's fantastic news.

Bring it on

Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s been on the piss for a month or so
