i think he'll stick with Willy but i won't be surprised if he plays Hart. Pellegrini is leaving at the end of the season; that is decided.
why not do everything you can to win at least 1 trophy on the way out, regardless of upsetting people (ahem, Willy)?
I'm not really a City fan. I'm just here for attention.

ah right, I definitely agree on that. Caballero will start whether we like it or not.


Not too sure about that. After last week's performance there is ample potential for making everybody concerned look silly if Willy is picked. Maybe ferran and Txiki will lay the law down?


Manuel is a man of his word, reneging on sticking his Willy in could have an advers affect on the squad.

I think the Jovetic axing from the CL squad last season caused unrest, could see a similar situation with this goalkeeper question to be honest.


If I was a first team player Id be fuckign praying Caballero will be dropped...no fucking way should he play.

Disaster if he does.

Baconface's success at the swamp was built on one simple decision, to drop the disastrous Jim Leighton in favour of Les Sealey in the 1990 FA Cup Final. It was a selfish decision on his part but it helped that shower of shit immeasurably. We could do with Pellegrini being equally selfish on Sunday, but the man, and the circumstances, are completely different.

We owe it to the world to win this. They'll be insufferable otherwise.

Wait a mo. Wasn't there uproar when Joe got the call over Pants for the FA Cup Final?

Seem to remember as well that Pants had kept us in the competition a few times through that campaign.

Think he's going to play Joe.

I think he'll play Hart too.

Pellgrini comes across as all nicey charmy and all the rest of it. Which he is, but it doesn't stop him being pretty hruthless with team selections and retained players etc. He just seems to do it without the battles that surrounded Mancini.

Pantilimon was half decent. Although I've backed Caballero in the past last week was truly awful. It's fine if we are playing a crap team that never gets across the half way, but Liverpool pissed all over us last time and we need Hart

Specifically the semi against Chelsea. He made a series of saves that helped us win that tie.

I smoked da herb last night and it's going to be a bright colourful game with all the players hugging one another and coming together to sing Kum Ba Yah before kick off.

The ref will be wearing pink and the linemen running down the line with flowers in their hair.

The game will be played in the most friendly manner and the winner shall be decided upon a lovely game of paper scissors stone.

This should be nothing more than a performance related decision, the whole country had an opinion on how crap Willy played on Sunday.

There's a saying..... You're only as good as your last sale (i'm sure the word sale gets swapped depending on job function/industry)

Given his insistence of playing YaYa has me thinking Willy will get the nod, then half of me thinks that the Sheikh might actually send word down the line, something i wouldn't normally condone but in this instance i would say it would be fully justified.

Why would Willy want to play himself though? Who in their right mind enjoys making themselves look like a penis infront of thousands of people?

Mangala Bony and Navas all available for selection on Sunday. Navas could be a useful sub Rather have Nacho than Bony for a striker sub. Mangala rather than MDM as a centre back sub

Just Delph de Bruyne and Nasri injured now. Klopp was asked about the effect on City of travelling back and forth to Kyiv. He said; 'They flew, they did not walk'. Quite a good one.
