setting off in an hour for what i believe will be my first victory at the newly and awfully named dw stadium.

Come on city third spot awaits :-)

What makes this thread official? I've had a look around and it's pretty damn shoddy for an official thread. I suspect it's a knockoff.

Sat on the coach on my way to my first away game in around 6 years, 'mon City

I have to agree, it smacks of fake import.

you lucky fcuker ,i've not been to an away game in the league for nearly 20 years!! (since i've been in france )last match i've seen was schalke away last year

Decided years ago to knock away games on the head, last one was a very enjoyable 2-1 win at Anfield. My eldest bullied me into this one!

Star.

Can't believe Stevie's on the bench again. Micah's got a job on today, real chance to prove he's still got something.
Has Hughes bowed to the Petrov pressure?

I also think this is a game Bellamy would've been very important. I hope we don't miss him too much. Big game for Petrov and Shaun.

No robbie, no bellamy....I suspect a lack of options more than bowing to pressure.

Hope Petrov grasps this opportunity firmly in both hands and shows us what he can do. Would also be great for SWP to have a good game.

I agree that Petrov should start today on merit. I think the other option would've been to pop Stevie in there and change the formation slightly.

Don't think so.. I reckon he just wants to keep playing 4-4-2 and at the moment he cant' see Stevie featuring in that formation.
I'm sure he will come on again today like at Villa if things go tits up.

I'm a little worried about Richards at CB...I hope he steps his game up

Breakdown.
If we win by 2 goals or more, we finish today 3rd.
If we win by 1 goal, 4th.
If we draw, we stay 5th.
If we lose by 2 goals or less, we stay 5th.
If we lose by 3 goals but score 2 ourselves(eg, lose 5-2), we drop to 6th.
If we lose by 3 or more goals and don't score 2, we drop to 7th.
