***Official Fulham v Man City Thread***

[Original Dub]

Wasn't Jo Hughes' 1st buy?

I think it was like the Cisse to Liverpool deal. Pretty much already done before the manager arrived, although officially signed under him. You can tell he wasn't a Hughes player. RSC might be a cart horse, but he's not lazy and lazy players is not something associated with Hughes generally.

All that said, lets hope he proves us wrong and bangs in a brace today.

5 of our starting XI were signed by hughes.

We all know who to blame if we don't win then...

Toure, Zabaleta, Kompany, de Jong, Tevez?

After spending all week with the newborn, totally sleep deprived, we find out she has to go back to hospital tonight. Off we go with the bubba (she's OK) and mum. I do the supportive thing staying up helping out, being there and doing my bit. I conveniently getting very tired just in time to get home for the 1am kick off.

Except it's a 2am kick off.

Fuck.

Hope you're watching Fox Sports mate. They're showing the Goat's derby at Maine Road as their classic match right now.

What I'm thinking is he is harnessing Jo's powers to thwart Hughes' plan of dominating us and pushing us back. Kryptonite if you like ;-)

Looking at the players picked, I'd fancy us to take the points here. Seems that Zabba's been brought in to give us a real tackler on the right, rather than the forward impetus of Micah or Jerome.

I don't have Fox. I'm watching a stream which has an old City -Fulham game. Mpenza, Beasley, Joey, Isaaaksssson, Sun. What a team.

Can Jo grow a 'tache like Joey, we can give him a knew knickname .................................... Mo-Jo. Anyone remember them???

Mint, love it mate!

Sky are really outdoing themselves today billing the game as ITS PAYBACK TIME.

Looks more like they are promoting a boxing match. Maybe they'll ask Hughes and Mancini to fight it out at half time in the centre circle?

Wish my back was not buggered up so I didn't have to watch it on tele and be at the match in person like normal.

[brite blu sky]

im thinking that Mancini has learnt from the Arsenal game and realises that we play better with 10 men. Jo is the perfect answer and will disappear so well that Fulham will slip into a false sense of security and not even be able to see him on the pitch. Jo hart will and will float a long one straight to Jo that will just bounce off him and over the keeper. Fulahm will complain and the ref will point out that Jo is actually on the pitch to everyones amazement. 1-0 and game on.

Slum it with the peasants mate, you know you want to.

The media are going to have a proper wank-fest if we fail to win today.

I will be avoiding all forms of media, especially this site, if things don't go well this afternoon.

Its a must win to avoid a complete meltdown.

If we draw this, I won't lose the rag (pardon the pun), once we fucking try to impose our game on them and ATTACK!!

Bellamy handling himself very well at the moment. Well done Cregg!

Got nothing but good thing's to say about us. He does talk with real class that lad.

'A priviledge to have played at the club'.

[dazby]

I just saw the Vass score a goal for City. Wow.

[Beefymcfc]

Roberto Mancini: 't'eeez important, that is all' ;-)

WTF is Maradona doing on our coach?

[Dameerto]

Oh crap, Maradona is at the game - time to get nervous.

[MaineRoadMemories]

Maradona with the City squad just shown on tele. Hmmmm, our new manager in a few weeks. That'll be entertaining! ;-)
