*** CITY v The Potters *** match day thread

[ruralblue]

Yes!!!!

Look again Pellers them the missing points right there! We could have been chasing top spot now if you'd have shown a bit more faith!!!!!

[Mase]

Yesssss Nacho!!!!!

Either your stream is miles behind or you've just spoilt a goal for me.

I'm watching it on Sky mate haha. Sorry for spoiling.

[bigblue]

Nacho Nacho Man!

[PrezIke]

Well done again Nacho! Nice pass Bony, actually.

[blues2win]

Fair's fair Lovely assist from Pony.

[aaron bond]

Brilliant goal. Pellegrini has fucked up big time this season by not playing him more.

Great pass by Bony too.

[sheblue]

Well taken goal young Ian, and dare I say it great assist by bony.

[Mase]

We want 5! We want 5!

[Saul Goodman]

Sure am glad that all those times we needed a goal Pellegrini threw on Bony instead of Nacho

[KinkyKinkladze]

Nacho's gotta be on for motm. From the first minute he's been buzzing around asking for the ball, trying to get involved in play. This is the most grown up performance I've seen from him, he's been excellent.

[Stan]

Oh dear, Micho should've been a part-timer by now. What is even the point of giving him 20 min. here?

Good odds?

[PrezIke]

I hear the Pellegrini song

[Mase]

I hope we don't concede. I want Joe to win the Golden Glove for about the 500th time.

Anyone know how he's getting on?

[CTID Hants]

We want 5! We want 5!

Fuck yeah, if not for owt else just shut the gobby spuds fan who sits opposite me in work. She's insufferable at the minute!

[nottsblue]

I hope we don't concede. I want Joe to win the Golden Glove for about the 500th time.

Anyone know how he's getting on?

Think one behind the gayer

[Mase]

Flippin eck Charlie Adam is a unit now! Stig Tofting eat your heart out.

[PrezIke]

On who was to be the ref, from The Guardian's minute by minute about an hour before the game started:

Manchester City v Stoke City line-ups ...

Manchester City: Hart, Zabaleta, Otamendi, Mangala, Kolarov, Jesus Navas, Fernando, Toure, Silva, Iheanacho, Aguero.

Subs: Sterling, Caballero, Bony, De Bruyne, Delph, Clichy, Demichelis.

Subs: Adam, Teixeira, Crouch, Krkic, Haugaard, El Ouriachi, Shenton.

[bigblue]

We haven't even played that good and are 4-0 up. Stoke have had bad luck with injuries (just like us) but are in free fall at the moment

[phips]

I hope we don't concede. I want Joe to win the Golden Glove for about the 500th time.

Anyone know how he's getting on?

Think one behind the gayer

before this weekend i believe Hart and Schmeichel were tied at the top but all that midweek action could've pushed De Gea ahead

[bigblue]

Fuckin ell looks like a thigh muscle injure for Yaya, hope he's not out vs Madrid
