On Saturday, City, go out there and play like you know you can. You will undo years of hurt by beating these arrogant red rag bastards. Think how the City supporters around the world are willing you to win. To Vincent Kompany and Nigel DeJong, play with the courage of Bert Trautmann and the strength of Dave Watson. David Silva, dazzle them with your skill like little Bobby Johnstone and Ali Benarbia used to do. To Micah, you'll be as immense as Roy Paul on Saturday. Adam Johnson, get down the wing into the box and skip past their full backs like Mike Summerbee when he knocked the ball back for Nelly to score that day in '69 (and if a rag nicks your ankle, don't hesitate to do what Franny Lee did so convincingly and so often.) If we're ever in doubt, remember Paul Dickov at Wembley in '99. To Mario and Edin, never stop running, be Njinsky up and down Wembley's rich green grass, and then let's see Nigel show the rags the kind of mockery Mike Doyle used to give them. To all City's supporters, sing "Feed the Goat" and "Uwe, Uwe Rosler" as the minutes tick away and City are knocking the ball around at 3-0 ahead. Remember Neil Young, Malcolm Allison, and Joe Mercer, because now it's our time, and it's about bloody time.
