On way to the Etihad now .....

Low key after the lord mayors show sunday , just settle for a coffee and chocolate bar at half time methinks !

[Herb]

Just been to the ticket office & there are outside broadcast trucks parked near the ffront entrance.

Have you developed a ststutter tted?

It's an age thing - I have the same p p p pproblem . . something to do with our g g g g ggeneration.

Distracted by blonde round about that time.

Speaking of distractions: Saw Gadaffi on Oxford Rd before. Deffo him. Not even trying to pretend. Not dead after all. Probably working for CIA or MUFC in some capacity.

This is Welsh, is it?

TEAM NEWS: Pantilimon, Richards, Boyata, Lescott, Clichy, Milner, Fernandinho, Garcia, Lopes, Dzeko, Jovetic

We not got an official match thread or am I just going blind?

[hyper]

There is a promise of rivers at the usual sites. We'll see I guess. I wouldn't mind radio Manchester though, football on the radio is underrated.

You do know that the MCFC site has a link to local radio commentary for every match?

Interesting and with hindsight I'm glad no Silve, cos this gives plenty of space for Ferdi, Garcia, Lopez and Jovetic to see what they can do.

I have a feeling that Wigan would almost pay to get knocked out of this though, they can't really want to be in Europe never mind the domestic cups if they are going to try and return to the prem.

Richards as captain

Our eyes on the ground have spotted broadcasting trucks, and the usual suspect sites are suggesting there will be rivers.

Oh, and whoever the fuck starts the NEXT thread, fucking mention if it's a Home/Away game, and mention competition (unless Premier League) in title ... makes it easier to go back to old threads once they go past the first page ...

And would be nice if you look up the ref appointments too :)

Manchester City v Wigan Athletic

Good to see Lopes play and probably without too much defensive responsibility. He might be a little overawed and look to pass the ball on quickly early on but as he settles ,and with all the talent around him,I expect to see some quality from him and a goal is quite likely.He has a real eye for a goal.

If Lopez can strike up some decent simple link play with Ferdi and Jovetic early on they should respond by trusting and including him. All round this is going to be interesting to see how these 3 get on between each other.

Looking forward to this now, didn't think Ferdy would start.

Of course

I used to have a favourite little hillock from where I could gaze at many a spring bubble up from below and turn into a mighty river. I have just gone looking for said hillock, but alas it is nowhere to be found. Might any of our readers give me the coordinates of another such vantage point? By PM perchance?
