I'm sure this is a first for many a long year, even at home, but we are now favourites to beat the orcs from Mordor:

Crikey. The bookies are one of the few groups who actually seem to believe in city

Blimey O'Reilly, never thought I'd see that in my lifetime

Now I really am worried.

We were the favourites against the Arsenal and look what happened there!

Still a watershed moment for us though.. even if nowt comes of it.

When we're favourites at the swamp then that'll mean something

Okay.. but wasn't it only last year that Baconface was asked the question ".. Will City ever be favourites to win the derby?.." and his response was ".. Not in my lifetime.." - well less than a year later it's happened and unfortunately he's still alive! ;-)

Good point Craig. And by the colour he's going at these press conferences he wont be alive much longer.

Bet Phelan takes the post-match today.

That would be when we're favourites to win at the swamp.

Cheers mate. I don;t think I have ever seen that before. Certainly won;t be putting any money on at those odds!

Ha ha, on Sky they've just asked Johnny Giles who he thinks will win tonight. Obviously he went for united and his reason was because they had better players? No, they are more in form? No, .... they have a better structure at board level . . . ah right

This year more than any recently this game is about the points and the psychological knock to a 'top 4' team than it is about getting one over on the rags. We did a number on Chelsea and showed how professional we can be and showed we are close to being right up there with them. There is more in this game about cementing that claim than anything else.. it just happens to be against the biggest bunch of watery arsed cunts you could ever imagine, led by an addled delusional geriatric whiskey soaked smelly old rancid fart on his last legs.

They will do their utmost tonight to try and stop us.. and i rekon they have a slight advantage in that they are away from home.. but the fear factor will be high as a loss is massively more damaging to them than us.

I really hope we brush them aside on the way to panning them, no better way to back up the psychological impact of going into this as the bookies favourites than to finish it as clear winners. Rancid baconface doesn't want to live to see us as favourites and now it has happened.. but to prove that we are favourites and deserve it we have to win.. the cooler, calmer and more professionally the better.. the more it will sap the deluded piss sponge's will to live!
