[Nigels Tackle]

we want 10!
come on city!

[john@staustell]

I fancy we'll get a fairly rusty performance from a bunch of guys who haven't played together for weeks and end up winning 3-0.

I havent been paying attention for a while - is Jovetic anywhere near full fitness? This would have been ideal.

Who is this "city" you refer to?

Bit of effort is needed I think or you can leave the officialness to someone else.

[AlpsMaster]

Is the game on TV?

Yeah and using all small caps really annoys me ... learn to write headings correctly ...

[AG7]

Is the game on TV?

Yes it is ... on Sky Sports 4 (435) and Sky Sports 4 HD (404)

Bayern winning 2-1, Honda penalty. Still got a chance of top if it stays like this.

Gonna have to switch over to that. Jazeera has a half hour program JUST about 'that shin' on the channel the City game is coming up on. Making me fucking sick!

@MCFC: CITY TEAM TO FACE PLZEN: Hart, Richards, Lescott, Demichelis, Kolarov, Milner, Nasri, Javi García, Fernandinho, Džeko, Agüero #mcfc

[Hutch's Shoulder]

Reasonably strong side, expect Aguero and Nasri to be taken off before the end.

Went into town before the game. Pint in the Arndale micro bar, round the Xmas markets, gluhwein, bratwurst, German lager and pork sandwich. A few stocking fillers bought, a bit crowded but everyone polite and apologetic about rubbing shoulders, until some fat sod in a football shirt barged me out of the way at the town hall with a scowl.

You will have guessed by now what shirt he was wearing.

[Saul Goodman]

I really don't like Aguero starting this match

Would've liked to see Boyata in for Demich and Huws in for Aguero

[Sideshow Bob]

Wtf is the point of starting aguero?? Stupid UEFA points?

[Camebro]

How navas didn't earn a run out after the weekend is baffling.

They definately know their markets. Sky had 2 Gold games with the Rags beaten us and Newcastle before we played each other.

Sick Scum.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Not surprised that Aguero is starting as he is the one most likely to score and get the game won.Especially pleased that Yaya isn't playing.He needs a rest but it has always seemed he had to play no matter what.I am expecting to see a bit more going forward from Fernandinho and hopefully Dzeko will get the message that he has to put a proper shift in.
