thats a fucking quality line up. still have to pinch myself.

Five englishmen in the eleven, we're ruining football.

[Mase]

Fucking ell. Was hoping for Weiss. Hopefully bring him on.
I wouldn't have playing Robson though. They're just gonna try and kick the fuck out of him! Maybe start with Bellamy instead.

[SUPERMANuk]

surprised lescott is starting! is sylvinho on the bench or not part of the squad? (might not be match fit)
we've got our strongest team out, just need to finish unlike what we did at wolves and nearly paid for it!
:D

[Mase]

Hopefully get a few early goals so we can take the big boys off.

[david yearsley]

Absofuclinlutely NO excuse tonight! Les has to start proving he IS the gaffer and this is the ideal opportunity - there´s never an easy tie but fresh and early in the season we should demonstrate the chasm in class

[CityGer]

Loving the line up tonight and can't for this. Streams have been doing my head in this season and this feels like a treat. 8 of our next 11 are televised which is superb for me.

As a side note, I wonder how long before De Jong starts getting twitchy? World cup year. I've been off line all week so if he's injured, fair do's.

[roadkill2487]

Toure is captain!!!! Congrats to the NEW captain of our beloved club!!

[smurfsdabomb]

Appointing some guy with 2 man city games under his belt as captain is a joke.

I also hope Lescott has a shocker, an OG and sending off would be nice.

[Tokyo Blue]

They are advertising it as being on HERE but at the moment it is Tromso v Bilbao.

[irblinx]

Warnock full of praise for us in the match programme apparently and also just on SS, damn him how I'm I supposed to keep up my hatred of him when he being so bloody nice?

Are you on a wind up mate?

[One cap Whitey]

Wow thats some line up. I'm made up with that, no excuses tonight.

[smurfsdabomb]

Nah, I just can't stand Lescott. He's a giant cunt and not good enough for City's ambition. Does anyone really think you could win the league or even crack the top 4 with Lescott, Richards and Bridge in your backline? Mid table players in my opinion.

what he said - i'm hoping we go up big early and get weiss on for robbie at half

:D

Sylvinho's international clearance was not completed in time, so he can't play. He will need a work permit, where as players from Birmingham don't need one for some strange reason

[Tokyo Blue]

Here's a revolutionary idea for you. How about waiting until he plays for us before slagging him off?

What's that smell.

[BmoreBlue]

preposterous - you must be here to wind up
