Good omen : "The Viking" , Kirk Douglas, 1958 - on free to air this PM (In Oz only . . .)

Vikings surely? Not Viking?

[stevefromdonny]

COME ON CITY

[Nickyboy]

Footballs back and Klopp is whinging like fuck yet again the big toothed fucking weapon . What an absolute cunt of a bin dipping cunt this cunt is .

I often disagree with you, but on this, never a truer word spoken

[Beefymcfc]

Looking forward to this afternoon. Bit of F1 before the game will do just nice.

[johnny crossan]

Is it 5 from 9 or 6 from 9 or 6 from 7 named substitutes can be used ?

Spent some time searching. Found all sorts of versions so none the wiser.

Not really relevant though for Pep

Think it's 6 from 7 so I reckon
Ederson:
Kyle Walker, Rúben Dias, Nathan Aké, João Cancelo;
Bernardo Silva, Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne;
Riyad Mahrez, Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish;

Bench: Stefan Ortega, John Stones, Kalvin Phillips, İlkay Gündoğan, Phil Foden, Julián Álvarez, Cole Palmer
( +Josh Wilson-Esbrand & Luke Mbete if 9)

City win 2-0.​

You're right ; the novel was named in the singular , the film in the plural.

Would love to see that line up Johnny, but will he go that strong?
City win 2-0.​

Are we one up?

[Dimples]

Reality check. Money talks and BS walks. Here is where the money is going.

Checked current odds with the bookies:

Charity shield odds: City 7/5 Vs 23/10 Liverpool
PL odds: City 8/13 Vs 5/2 Liverpool
CL odds: City 5/2 Vs 9/2 Liverpool

Liverpool's huge delusional global following skew those odds in Liverpool's favour.
So those odds don't reflect the neutrals take on things. If they did our odds would be shorter.
Hard cash is saying we will be significantly better than Liverpool this season.
It will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

That's enough to get Carragher spitting

[john@staustell]

So Rodney Marsh's sources about us playing a kids team were apparently bollox. Maybe it was just mind games, but then again he often talks shite

[Beefymcfc]

Really strong side but not too sure if we’ll be up to speed yet. This will be the Dippers 5th game and our 3rd so they should be in a better place fitness wise.

Just great to see City back.

[Dimples]

Looking at those two lineups, this is no friendly.
Both clubs want to win this, to lay down a marker.

Really looking forward to this now.

[Beefymcfc]

Two decades after Alf last played for us, we now see his son on playing for God’s Own on these shores.

Yep. That’s why Klopp was complaining so much, even though he has given his players more game time in the build-up. I bet the cunt wanted it playing prior to our return to pre-season.

[Wooders]

That Liverpool banner “imagine being us” - a sobering thought

Any scousers jibbed in yet?
