Hope to see xavi6 at some point and drag your arses to Townley.

Let's cheer the mighty sky blues tonight to an important win.

Woohoo! Last time we went top on the 28/12 was 1981. We got relegated that season. Typical City

Oh yeah, 3 points pls today, thank you.

Nowadays hardly anyone works between Xmas Eve and beginning of Jan. No wonder GNP has gone to shite. Mind you in Spain they do this about 8 times a year with all those 'puentes'!

Mate, we got relegated in 82-83.

A tough game is Villa. Always is. They are scratching a bit for points and so won't lac commitment. ButI think that if we play at our best, we'll win.

Come on City!

I rumbled the little I have amongst my ears since tonight as I cannot understant If they shall come to park the bus or they will try and play... Confused!
Love to sing the top by tea time, but I am still eating the bitter flavour of not setting the top for Xmas. Nervous!

Come on City!!!
A dirty one-nihil or a gorgeous feast if they will play: I'll take both... :-)
