thank fuck proper football's back this weekend!

Bit of a bogey ground over the last while. Let's hope we're back with a bang.

Sat evening too, nice...

During the week that's almost the morning for me! Got a weird feeling about this one, can easily see it going the way of the Bournmouth game, concede and then grab a late winner and it will all depend on the defence formation and selection. I'd personally go with a 3 at the back and 3 forwards.

It does in my house !

Just waiting for a clean bill of health for all our players after another bullshit International break . City putting plenty about via social media that Vinny is ready to play again , very timely with Ottamendi banned for the weekend . Leicester are dire this season , huge problems defensively for them plus injuries and selling there two best midfielders to the Chavs has seen them nosedive after the miraculous title winning season . Still a tricky fixture for us but can see us creating plenty of chances .


And thank fuck the PL is BACK !!!

i thought i read Vinny would come back (barring setback) in the next cup match? i wouldn't be surprised to see him not even make the squad for Leicester. in the case, its gonna be Mangala. I'd almost prefer it be Fernandinho with Yaya in midfield.

I'm sill having nightmares about the three at the back we played at Leicester last season, granted there was different personnel then.

so the tests get tougher as the unbeaten run goes on.The "theory" is that we will suffer when suspensions and injuries start to hit and the players start to tire in a gruelling season. This week will test that with the Otter missing and others maybe injures or carrying a knock or something.

It was scary watching England v Brazil. We already knew Kun had a problem so first down was Jesus and not looking good, then it was Stones! No center backs or strikers!!!! And what am i hearing about Merlin?

So Leicester will be a real test as they can be formidable when they are at it and with a new manager they certainly will be. Tough tough game so no 5.1 win and just a win by one goal.

Amazing shit ! Vinny very bullish about being ready for Saturday .

Cant see Vinny being ready. Think it will be Walker, Stones, Mangala and Delph in a back four. Then again guessing Pep is not a predictable sport, he is just as likely to play 3 at the back.

Sergio tweets all tests aok. Ready to play against Leicester if selected. Feyenoord at home should be comfortable so strong side needed. Leicester will defend deep and look for long balls over the top for Vardy.

The mantra "any old win, any old how" will do for me this weekend.

Absolutely NB.

I'd not be happy necessarily, but I think I might even 'take' a draw here.

Don't any of us can argue with that NB, I'm equally concerned about injuries from these sluggers like we've seen before.

Well if we really have dumped typical City we should beat them. But you know these are like Everton only ever turn up for our games so I am not over confident on getting a good result.

3-0 to City and the start of a disastrous run that will see Puel sacked before Christmas and Leicester eventually relegated - I hope.

The minute we're over confident is the minute we're rags, so forget that bit pal.

Saying that, we're more machine like and these days, we have a style that the oppo needs to adapt too... instead of the other way around, which has been the case for an age.

It won't be easy, but they can't be looking forward to this

Still a load of pessimistic cunts about even though we are 8 points clear , unbeaten and breaking records left right and center ??? the "old city" has a lot to answer for lol

That's the spirit.
We will tear them a new one.
