i've got some bottles of beer in the fridge and a homemade pizza that i'm cooking up for later. i use this dry fry pan pizza method that is fucking beautiful and creates really amazing Neapolitan pizza. Bear in mind as well that i've never been to Naples. Regardless, I'm nervous and excited for this one.

I hope we see a Yaya ready for some fight. I don't see how the Count won't play the Balkan duo together up top which means Fernandinho or Fernando miss out. It's too early in the season imho to do anything but unleash hell on these cunts, even if it doesn't go our way today for whatever reason.

I predict a close, nervy match which we win 2-1. Jayko scores the winner.

cheers

Well, it's time to get out the season card and get ready to leave for the ground for the start of another season, my 34th as a season ticket holder.... come on the real Champions!

Have run out if real coffee so it's perhaps lucky tea instead of regularly lucky coffee in the lucky flask today . . . but I'm not happy about it because it could upset the equilibrium and have devastating negative affect. Though we might be ok because I've doubled up on the lucky egg mayo sandwiches to see if that gets our lucky universe back onto an even keel.

Anyway, enough of that luck stuff - let's fuck the luck and use our superior skill, talent & organisation to outplay the dirty bitter booing & coach bricking, respect free zone scousehampton whinging divers.

Come on you Blues!!!

Out on the west coast of Canada feeling pretty good about this one. The firepower on display against Newcastle was amazing.

Just watch video City coming on stadium , Sagna is there.

Would like to have seen three in the middle for this one.

[blues2win]

Clichy starts at left back and Zaba at right back. Otherwise same as Newcastle. Fernandinho and Aguero kept in reserve. Maybe not deemed fully fit for 90 minutes.

[Sideshow Bob]

dammit we are going to get overrun in the middle. again.

from the OS:

[blues2win]

We really need Jovetic to drop back into midfield when we haven't got the ball. I would rather have Fernandinho in a central midfield three and leave Nasri on the bench but maybe that's just me.

[blues2win]

Johnson is very weak defensively but Kolarov isn't in the team. We really need Clichy getting up our left flank and for that matter Jovetic/ Silva/Nasri exploiting any space Johnson leaves charging forward.
