I have been keeping an eye on the barcodes forums, and it seems they have other things on their minds than the game. There are a few comments to give you a flavour of their thinking...Enjoy :)
Team Selection
Elliott
Raylor, Williamson (if fit), Saylor, Haidara
Gouffran, Anita, Abeid, Sammy
Armstrong, Ferreyra
And the rest...
Needs to be a weakened team IMO. We'll lose even if at full strength so may as well rest Sissoko, Krul, Colback, Colo, Cabella (maybe start him instead of Gouffran) etc and keep our big players back for the weekend.
Paying £15 to see us get stuffed off Man City is a nice change from the usual £45+
Think we can get another draw or win away to Man City !
They just loss and they're playing Man United next, no way are they going to put out their A-grade players for a Carling Cup game.
This is a good chance that we can get a really good result from this !
Problem is Partdue is likely to put out our B team as well. Considering that our first team would struggle with Citeh's B team, the writing is on the wall. We're Away as well....but being on a rich vein of form (2 in 2 :--), you never know.
Hope we start Ameobi, Squidward and Perez to at least have some pace in the squad. Cabella should start too. ...but errrrr, that is starting to resemble our first team
Pardew ****ed up by getting us this far. He was probably relieved to get city away
Mullered
7-0 man city
7-0 man city Hat trick from Sammy is wasted. We should play the likes of Ferrarya, Armstrong, Sammy, Haidara, Cabella, Abeid.
Maybe the young lads will surprise us?
We will get battered 5-0
really would love to beat them as I'm sick of these ****s constantly beating us and alot of the time particularly at home undeserved imo. We won't win but maybe reminding Nasri why he is a little clit and kicking him into row z might dull the pain of getting hammered.
I dont think well get thrashed, just lose 2-0 comfortable for man city
Can see an extra time bore fest.
