[Nigels Tackle]

fully expecting to be disappointed come 2145

[sheblue]

Fuck that. They are not that great.

[nottsblue]

Don't think I will be disappointed tonight, unless we get a royal spanking. I don't expect us to win, but you never know. I do expect a close game and I expect we will surprise a few folks with how good we will be.

If we get at Barca, then they will concede. Think back to the away leg in Paris last year. We took the game to them and they didn't expect it.

[Original Dub]

You're constantly negative these days.

Is it a wind up or what?

Will be fuming if Vinnie just walks straight in again. It'll confirm to me Pep hasn't got the bottle I thought he had.

Need Serg to get involved tonight. He can't do his invisible man impression.

Merge, baby. Merge.

Anyway, tonight is a free shot. No one is expecting us to win so we can relax and go out there and win. Or draw. Or lose. The important game will be the return one. And the Celtic game. And the BMG game.

Taking my very big cushion with me to the pub. They've got a sofa too.

No Kun? Going with a false nine then, possibly Nolito? Back three of Otter Stones and Fern with Zabba and Kola as wingbacks tucking into midfield to protect defence?

We shall see, but once again not the side I thought it would be. Variety is the spice in Peps life it would appear

Wow to Kun on the bench. Will have to watch this on replay later, unfortunately. Pep is cray cray, but I kind of love it.

[City64]

Two things ...........

Nigels Tackle has become a boring pessimist in the extreme .

Im off to the pub to watch the game good night !


ps I have had a fiver on City to win 3-1

[blues2win]

With Zaba and Kolarov we look vulnerable on the flanks defensively. Perhaps he feels the need for Gundogan and Fernandinho for defensive solidity.

[sheblue]

Nolito wide left and Kev central, false striker.

[stevefromdonny]

COME ON CITY

[london blue 2]

Kola and zabba = game over

Never mind. On to the next one
