[Hutch's Shoulder]

Just arrived at the ground, roads busy because no trains, everyone seems to be into the stadium early. Quick pint then to my seat....

I'm but a nervous wreck at this point. I do not look forward to this game at all. Fuck.

[CTID Hants]

Usually via PM, I'd check yours.

Me too pls Slim

Soppy's will be up in 5 minutes, I recommend the refresh button at that point as they don't stay up for long.

I would have played Milner on the left to cover Kolarov when he goes forward. I presume with a left footed centre back playing in Lescott Pellegrini is prepared to risk Nasri who is far less inclined to track back but offers much more creativity than Milner. Zabaleta coming back is obviously huge. Doug's training report suggested he was in with a shout.

Carl is having nightmares at the moment though.

He's such a smug little shit

It's not fair, Kompany had to run all the way back to defence after the toss, Suarez hardly had to move. I think Kompany should be given extra rest, it's Wenger fair.

Come on City! Bit more nervous about this than this years derby to be honest. Should be a goal fest but we going to have to kill the biter off.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Strongest possible 11 in my opinion. Hope it aorks

[Dameerto]

Fucling McManaman in the studio and Owen on the commentary team - another unbiased match to listen to then.

[Dameerto]

Jeeze off the post.

[Slim]

Nasri tracks back, wins the ball and then is fouled, who's assuming he wouldn't track back?

[Saul Goodman]

Shocked to see Zaba back and I like this Vinnie-Lescott partnership

[Dameerto]

Zaba looks well up for it.

[Slim]

Doesn't get much better than that Vinnie, what are you waiting for?

[Saul Goodman]

Kolarov embodies Manuel's approach to football: offense over defense. Shame for Clichy

[blues2win]

I didn't say he never tracks back. I just said over 90 minutes Milner offers more solidity down the left flank. Still Nasri offers more creativity and it's a difficult call.
