***Official City v Everton Thread***

[dikdik]

From a purely practical point of view if the temperature is going to be -5 degC then AJ for Silva for me.
Growing up in the North East v Canaries?

Id EFFING LOVE a win tonight, infact I'd give up all my Xmas presents to sit at the top of the league by a point on Xmas day. A present all on its own that.

Please please please boys lets stuff them and have a hatrick for Tevez

[Brad]

I got a good feeling about this game tonight, same feeling i had when we stuffed Chelsea last year, hope we can get the 3 points and maybe score a few goals too, but the 3pts would be the best xmas pressie ever.

I feel more confident than I have in a long while about playing Everton. Despite the fact that someone told me earlier, that Gorgeous Giorgious Samaras was teh last man to score against Everton for us at home! Can this be true!?

3-1 City.

Thoughts on our line-up tonight, with De Jong being suspended.

I would go with

----------------------------Hart

Zabaleta----------K Toure-----Kompany-----Kolarov

------------------Milner---Y Toure--Barry

Silva-------------------Tevez---------------Balotelli

Looks about right, although isn't Kolarov suspended?

Nope he missed the West Ham game. That was his one game ban

Of course he did, for some reason I had it in my head that he got sent off against West Ham. Cracking up.

[CityFanFromRome]

Don't know if 'Il Sulk Italiano' will play but fancy him to score if he does.

Took me a bit to understand who you were referring to, lol. But I agree, if Balo plays he will score; I tell you more, if he plays he will score a brace, mark my words.

Shhh, it's not done yet!!

[Douglas Higginbottom]

The team Mancini worked with on Saturday didn't have Mario starting but AJ instead. I hope AJ's head is right and he if he plays he takes his chance and we can bring Mario on later to finish Everton off.

[CityGer]

We owe these fuckers big time tonight.

Come on Blues!!!

That is a surprise DH! What about midfield then for NDJ?

[svengali]

Balotelli is as mental as a box of monkeys. Did anyone see him arrive then? Brilliant!

Haha the state of that hat, quality!

No what did he do?

[bluej]

From the beeb

1906: Carlos Tevez retains the captaincy and starts for Man City.

[13021J]

Hart; Zabaleta, Kolo, Kompany, Kolarov; Milner, Barry, Yaya; Silva; Balotelli, Tevez (captain)

[svengali]

He had a hat on that was very reminiscent of the penguin in Wallace and grommit. It was essentially a giant wooly glove on his head.

[bluej]

Hart; Zabaleta, Kolo, Kompany, Kolarov; Milner, Barry, Yaya; Silva; Balotelli, Tevez (captain)

That's a quality line up. Interesting to see how Milner and Barry get on together. Hopefully Balotelli won't see his arse either.

[BlueMoonAwoken]

That is the strongest line up ive seen this season, mancini definitely wants those 3 points.
