The mancityfans.net football forum

I have been tracking the forums all week, and this is the most I can come up with (that's worth posting). If anyone can find anything else, please feel free to add. I am hoping that we don't suffer from the usual post CL hangover which we have seen all season. After what we saw on Wednesday, I am hopeful we will be OK.

Not much to enjoy here, but do your best

COME ON CITY !!!

Referee: Andre Marriner
Assistants: S Beck, A Garratt
Fourth official: J Moss

Super optimism to point of insanity, but ....3-1 Burnley win
.
More confident about this than I was about WBA - 2-1 to the Ckarets

They are away in Germany on Weds night in the CL, footy gods will do their usual dabbling and we'll win 1-0

With City playing away in Germany tonight, I'm hopeful we might get something on Saturday. Surprised our game is on the Saturday lunchtime with them playing Wednesday, they usually have the Wednesday teams playing on the Sunday (Like Arsenal are doing)...Let's hope it works in our favour...1-1 - which would be a great result.

Man City don't have much better players than either Liverpool or Arsenal and we kept them both at arms length for pretty much both games.

The way we played Monday...it will be a cricket score to city

It will be a re run of Burnley 1 Man City 6 with Bamford, Flannagan and Gray spotted at Half time in the Pub talking to Kevin McDonald!!

That's it!

Cheers for your trouble CM. I too have a sinking feeling about this one for some reason

Claret usually gives me a horrible hangover, but I hope tomorrow will be different.

As someone who is allergic to alcohol, the prospect of claret is most unsettling.......

So much so that I could see us doing something daft, such as conceding an early goal and then having to spend the rest of the game trying to break down a ten man defense, just to try and scavenge a point.

Burnley seem at their happiest (and best) when they're parking the bus and defending as though their lives depended on it so, no matter how you look at it, it might be a long afternoon for us.

No one seems to spot that a lot of Premier games are easier for us away than playing the 11-man wall at Etihad. West Brom being a classic case.

Nice one John


A friend of mine once had multiple pints of lager and then a packet of crisps when he was walking (staggering) home. He was as sick as a dog afterwards and always blamed it upon mixing food and drink.

He hasn't touched crisps since that day.

I have another!

30 years ago when I first met my wife, my mum and dad took us out for an Xmas meal at a posh restaurant. Mother downed her large schooner of sherry before I'd finished ordering the 4 drinks, then had another. She had one more then we went into the meal, where she had ordered a bottle of South African wine. After a couple of glasses of that she headed for the toilet, alternating between there and the cold outside for the rest of the evening.

She blamed the crab starter and it was about 20 years before she admitted it may just possibly have been the sherry.
