It's back, and it's Live!

Fat Frank returns to the Etihad sitting pretty in the league. What a test for both clubs straight after the international break.

Eddie's back I saw ?

And Laporte, Dave as well? Read that Rodri was on the bench at the weekend.

I like Lampard especially after he scored for us against the chavs . But hoping for a massive
Comeback statement and another 6-0

[harveytravis]

Hope to see us playing some youth as well!!

Time for Phil to shine methinks....

[sheblue]

Let's just hope he picks the right team. Then we will take it from there.

[Hazy2]

Feels like a must win game.

Definitely, get back to winning ways, then rotate in midweek, newcastle for an early doors jolly up followed by the red shite. Got to take all 9 points from these next three games

Laporte? Thought he was out as long as Leroy?

I guess Bernardo is using up his suspension.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Anybody know if any of our players picked up injuries on international duty ? Notice the dipper players have all recovered ! Scotland said they would apply FIFA rule on playing for club after missing international game if Robertson was declared fit for dippers, but that has mysteriously gone away

I only saw that Rodri played the full 90 minutes of Spain's first game & sat out the 2nd game on Monday as far as I know, he is not injured

It was a question as I hadn't heard anything about them. Surely Dave should be back though.

Laporte and Sane were on holiday in Dubai and USA last week . Both back training this week but not yet kicking a ball which means they are at least a month away from even thinking of starting a game .

Can see a proper reaction from us after PIGMOL the PL , Sky fucking Sports and that cunt Oliver ALL CONSPIRED AGAINST US at shithole Anfield hoping to hand the murdering thieving bin dipping thick as fuck scouse bastards the title . Everything can change in a couple of games Pep knows that City know that and I am expecting one of those special performances from the blues whether our defence is short on quality or not .

[blues2win]

Pep says big Ed and Merlin fit and ready. Gloomy about Sane and Laporte talking about another 2-3 months. He’s not always reliable on return dates.

Henry Winter said he has not spoken to 1 ex pro who does not think we should have had 2 pens, Even based on the CL final the one in the 2nd half clip on to Arnolds hand is a pen so 3 ! What that tells us is the refs are not fit for purpose, you can give then all the help you want, If they do not understand or cannot process that players cheat and will do anything to gain an advantage, you are pissing in the wind !

I disagree.
It does not tell us that the refs are incompetent, it tells us something else entirely

Laporte started training a few weeks ago according to his social media. I don't think Pep has a clue on the return dates to be honest.

Indeed. They are one of two things. Incompetent. Or bent. As it goes my money is on both
