Might be fun to see how much the shirt numbers add up to. Including the bench I'll go for 686.

In terms of the score a Chelsea 3-1, though knowing our luck a draw is feasible

I know he'smade of glass but Vinny could do with some minutes. I suspect it won't be quite as youthful a line up as some might think.

Me neither. I reckon it'll be a mix. I also have woke with a feeling that we'll do it today. The kids will play like it's their world cup final as they will want to show Pep that they are worth a shot of progressing with City. Pep is known to bring youngsters on through the ranks and they know this so will give all they have. It could be quite a surprising day.

[Spurge]

Pellers reported in the independent saying he wouldn't buy a ticket today. I have a feeling that we will start with at least 6 youngsters, weve made it very clear since the draw that we would field a significantly under strength side and if we were to go back on that I think I'd be disappointed.

[john@staustell]

I wouldn't put it past Pellers being a bit disingenuous. If we ARE forced to play a weak team he still won't want to lose and the only chance is to pretend its even weaker

[Dimples]

I am really looking forward to this game.

I agree with rural and John@s.
The 'kids' will be chomping at the bit. The line-up will have a few old heads in there as well.

This is the 'kids' big chance. They are going to fight tooth and nail - and can keep it up for 90 mins - no problem - youth is a great and beautiful thing.
If we can get settled into the match without giving away an early goal - then Chelsea will have to dig deep - have they the hunger?

Nicely poised.

[City64]

I'm on holiday in Lanzarote enjoying some winter sun and taking a break from football . Yes I will watch my beloved MCFC this afternoon in bar in Teguise and get pissed BUT ........

I don't give two fucks about the game !!!! Our club is being systematically fucked over by bent refs a bent FA and a media with a clear agenda , the whole football world can fuck right off that's how I feel right now . Lastly whoever wears the city shirt today good luck don't get injured stick 2 fingers up to every fucking TV camera inside Stamford bridge

CTID fuck the world , UTD are shit fuck off Clattenburg hope you get ciff you cunt and fuck off the BBC , SKY and every other twat who hates us .

[Douglas Higginbottom]

City will play plenty of kids today likely get beaten and the media will be all over it. There will be real focus on the wheels coming off since Pep was announced.Total garbage as we were playing pretty crap before it but that won't matter and little attention to the fact that we had a reserve side out after being done by the FA.

[iwasthere2012]

1-3 for Chavs or worse. Are we doing predictions.
Nacho to score for us.

[Dimples]

Off topic I know but -

'...since Pep was announced.Total garbage as we were playing pretty crap before it...'

The players would have know way before it was announced - small circle of agents, top pro footballers, etc... - word would have reached players ages ago
Could be a reason why our players have not been putting in a shift before the Pep announcement (excpt for the CL).

Re the unfair treatment of us by refs, FA, PL, etc...

Chelsea also have an axe to grind re unfair treatment (corruption) by the establishment (cartel).
Worst case for them was the CL 2009 via Barcelona.
The ref was a disgrace and I mean a disgrace. It was robbery on Chelsea.
It was so bad that I was hoping Drobga would level the ref after the match - just to get some sense of justice.
Barca go through after an injury time goal gave them 1-1 at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea had 3 or 4 penalty appeals turned down, one of them was blatant handball by Pique.

Caballero
Tosin
Sagna
MDM
Kolarov
Fernando
Humphreys
Garcia
Sterling
Iheanacho
Barker

Though Hart should play for me. Don't get this rotation for cup games for the goalkeeper myself

Reverse for me.

3 - 1 City.

Komps to open the scoring. Barker to add a second to take us back in front and Sterling to seal the day in the final five minutes.

I don't think Sagna is fit yet. Celina is starting today.

[ENIAM NAM]

Pellers to Chelsea in the summer maybe?

Abromovich to pellers , " Roll over for us, we're out of everything else"

Pellers plays youth team.

[Dimples]

Posters who follow the 'kids' - what do you think of the team, how good are these kids, how many of them will make it with us, any chance of an upset?

[stevefromdonny]

tbh I rather us win next Sunday and need to rest players for champs league next week. I DONT THINK WE WILL WIN AS WE WILL HAVE TO MANY YOUNG UNS AND CHELSEA WILL HAVE A STRONG SIDE OUT

but as always

COME ON CITY

[blues2win]

Silva Aguero and Toure out of the squad altogether. Vinny, MdM all four full backs the two Ferns Sterling and obviously Nacho all in squad. Clearly they won't all start; only two full backs for a start unless he plays Kola wide left.

[Beefymcfc]

Will be glad just to see a goal from us today.
