***city v spuds official match thread***

[Nigels Tackle]

they can't score
we can't defend
sure to be a classic
4-3 to us
....and that's after we've gone 3-1 down after 60 mins

come on city!

[Blue Since 76]

Considering our away form, every home game is must win, end of.

[AG7]

Looking at the table again, a draw would be ok in worst case scenario ... but gotta win, BUT if we can't win, hold on to a draw instead of giving away a late winner to them while trying ...

I still think though it'll be 3-1 to us, Aguero brace and Negredo on the scoresheet ... for them, a dodgy penalty and Soldado (that's if Ade doesn't play, in which case he'll be their scorer).

[Beefymcfc]

Spurs are a team aiming for a CL spot and if we can't beat them at home then it gives them an advantage over us. Their mantra will be not to lose whereas ours must be to win.

I'm fairly confident we can beat Spurs. I can see it being a close game, like the last few seasons, but there is that niggling doubt due to our current position on the league. No way do I want to see us 8th or 9th, possibly 9 behind the leaders and possibly 5 behind 2nd and 3rd.

How many people predicted this before our season started, not many I guessed.

[City64]

Just about to partake a 7 minute train ride into the city center for beer then onto the Etihad where i will gladly settle for any kind of win for MCFC .



Ps can someone keep an update on the Tyler thread going if we have the cunt doing us again today ........ thanks.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

3-0 to us. Jobs a good 'un.

[Breks]

2-1 to us. Would love a bag full but i will take 3 points anyway we can get them.

[sheblue]

3 points is a must, doesn't matter one bit how we get them.

[Clowncrete]

If we get the first goal, we'll batter them 5-0.

[Moonchesteri]

I'm so nervous as a draw would be a really bad outcome right now and they deffo have the quality to hurt us on the break.

I have this feeling it will be a score draw but please let's get the three points no matter how

[Risby]

3 points is a must, doesn't matter one bit how we get them.

I think the result is more important than the performance right now. Keep taking the three points, climb the table, worry about style later on.

[Tokyo Blue]

Guidetti on the bench????

Excellent. I always like to see young lads given a chance. I have got no idea if he is any good but there is one way to find out.

I'm looking forward to this match. Never liked snotspurts.

Me too actually. Not saying it will happen today, but I've always felt it best to bring them off the bench when a game is wrapped up if possible for a debut.

[littlebig]

I'll take any kind of win for three points. They've been pretty tight defensively and we're missing the Magician but we should have enough power and guile to outpunch them.

Would love to see JG get a run out (Dzeko won't be happy), still don't know what this lad could be - championship or top 4 club striker

[Beefymcfc]

I see Sky, after showing a poignant piece on Ryan 'The Family Wrecker' Giggs, are concentrating on our away form. A pic of Pellers depicting the good and bad followed with a load of clips where players are on their knees or have their head in hands, nothing to counter it with clips from the great home form.

So, from this, I'm gathering we're playing away from home and Sky are only showing what we are doing on the road?

Anyway, very good line-up there and probably our best at this moment in time.

[Spurge]

YES HE IS ...

@MCFC: SUBS NEWS: Hart, Lescott, Richards, Guidetti, Garcia, Milner, Dzeko #cityvspurs #mcfc

Guidetti is apparently a late replacement for Kolarov who is ill.

[Tim777]

Finally no Garcia in the starting line up! Has Pelle been reading this forum? ;) Very good line-up.
C'mon City!!!
