*****official city v the entertainers match thread*****

Could be a very interesting line up if he goes with what he played with this week.

Well doug, you see a lot in training. It occured to me this morning that it wouldn't do us any harm to start Mario, Edin and Segio just behind them. Followed by Gareth, James and David in midfield. .

That would give them something to think about

There is never a guarantee that Mancini will start with the line up that I have seen in the week but I still cant report on what that is.Even when it's fairly obvious.
It's late now and I am still wondering if he will line up 3.5.2 as it seemed.And the 3 not including Lescott as well to surprise us all.Will he really do that?

I will be amazed if Lescott doesnt start unless hes injured. I wouldnt be surprised if its 3-5-2 though with micah lescott and savic and zabba and clichy/kolorov wing backs.

I wouldnt like to see us go with Zuricity team as it leaves us with no width which is dangerous against spurs as cant see mario and sergio tracking there fullbacks.

I am really really struggling with my shirt selection this evening. Do I stick with the usual or do I go old school? Decisions decisions decisions.

Old school I would say.

Le Coq it is then. Thanks Doug, I hope.

How about Savic,Micah and Clichy with wing backs of Milner and Kolarov?

'Kin ell. They couldn't even beat Wolves at home. I hate this team more than any other on the planet and want another 5-1, no make that 5-0 because I don't even want them to have the pleasure of a consolation goal. ;). COME ON CITY. Lets shut the fookers up. Sick to death of hearing about em.

Forget about the media, we just can't win that battle. If we win they'll have put up a valiant effort against a billion £ side. If it's a draw they will be heroes as they will have curtailed a winning home winning run and if they win then it's not worth imagining; every Spurs and Rag supporting outlet will be waxing lyrical it'll be unbearable.

Let's just go out there and do the job, that's all I want. We've got the beating of these and if Bobby get's it right it'll show the rest we've got what it takes and that the wobble was just that. Beating Spurs would send a real message, if the so called best team in England can't beat us, then who can. Let's lay this myth to bed, once and for all.

Come on City!!!

That "wobble", included two red cards, both questionable, penalty not given and a dubious offside goal.

Not a bad "wobble" eh?

Red cards, what Red cards? Surely you couldn't have seen any Red cards for offences that can't be judged as such? Look at all those games afterwards, or even during, where similar offences have not seen Red cards. We didn't have anyone sent off, it's a figment of your imagination, an illusion, it's Bobby's imaginary card waving that counts, nothing more, nothing less.

Lol. And all true.

Search for the TuneIn Radio app on appstore and you should be able to get coverage on BBC Radio Manchester and TalkSport, hope this helps.

I had hoped for something with Zabs for Micah and Micah shifting over instread o the scary Savic. Dzeko gets the nod because of the 4 at WHL and his goal the other night, I suppose. I prefer Mario every time, however. Nasri had a storming debut in the 5-1, another similar display will do son. He owes it to us as well!

time for samir to step up to the plate...

Yep he certainly does and no time like now to produce!
