[Chopper]

Cautiously optimistic about this one. 2-1

[Lee_R]

We need to be this lot tonight. If we score more goals than they do, I reckon we will.

nail on the fucking head

We need to start with 11 men on the pitch.

[Lee_R]

Fucking war cry this match.. if we batter them Mourinho will never be the same again.

My prediction 4-1 they will score first.

you're right. he'll be even worse!

[everyonehatesus]

Come on city, just off to the pub as im working away in Cornwall. Big game this no matter what others say, winning puts ckear light between us and sets us up nicely for the next few games.

[Chopper]

I view the special one as a fading star. A hammering would confirm this.

Fingers crossed.

[Tesl]

To echo everyone else, I too think its important that we score more goals tonight than they do.

I've been confident about this fixture all week but I'm bricking it now.

Would love nothing more than for us to smash them into next week, but its not going to be easy against Mourinho's side. We really really could have used Aguero tonight, I think its much tougher without him. I don't think they will be easy to unlock and they will be dangerous on the counter.

Any result is possible here but we have a great opportunity. Please please don't let us down City!!!! =)

I wanted to provide some sort of tactical analysis including how it may be better to include Jovetic rather than play two up top. However having listened to the vile diatribe from Mourinho, I really hope we fucking spank them and if not win. Just fucking beat this Portuguese cock sucker. He had become irrelevant, I forgot how much I hate him. TWAT

[blues2win]

You're right about Jovetic but Pellegrini may think he's not fit for a full match. If our twin towers don't spark he'll surely bring him on after an hour. Kick off May be delayed Sky saying.

some fucker had me thinking Pelle is the master of mind games with this Aguero-trick.. but it is Negredo really

injury apparently so Demi in midfield.

and obviously no Aguero, that was typo from somebody at MCFC. Negredo & Dzeko up front

[PeterParker]

This is bad, we need Ferni.

[gmercer1]

Think we're really gonna miss Fredi's energy in the middle of the park!

[Moonchesteri]

This is bad, we need Ferni.

Yep. I'm a lot more nervous now! but come on City!!

[Lee_R]

I kinda like Demi in midfield.

[london blue 2]

Demi instead of fernandinho scares me
