Predictions? Certainly looking on readings forum they are being very negative expecting a big score line, hopefully there right but I'm going for 5-0.

They'll be difficult to break down and we might have to be patient, City to win 2-0.

Be interesting to see if Tevez and Aguero start given that we have 4 games in 10 days

If he does he can fuck off back to Italy quick-smart! I've got Tevez has my Fantasy Footie team captain.

Amount of rain today I'm not expecting anything special.

A slow wet game with lots of fuck ups. Slipping, mis timed passes, mis controlled touches. Mis kicks. Won't be worth the pneumonia I am probably going to get but it should also be an easy 3 points.

I'm gonna go for Balotelli in the starting line-up. You know you want him there.

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."

After the end of the world last night I'm expecting a loud "WE'RE NOT REALLY HERE" from the stands today

I reckon we'll see couple of surprises in the line-up today. Sinclair to start with either Balo or Dzeko.

It's days like these that make me think of those iconic see-through "rubber johnny" disposable plastic macs. Oh the memories.

There's every chance I could be in a "Southern Comfort" coma by kickoff - someone try and remember the match highlights incase I need to ask questions please.

That should accommodate their supporters then, and nearly all of their first team too.
