£500 on a city win. I took Carl's advice. If we lose I'm going over to South America or wherever the fuck he is these days and reinacting the bumming rape scene from pulp fiction.

Do me a favour, make it the one from Deliverance...

that you have a preferred anal rape scene is charming.

The team shouldn't have issues with Pompey, but that's where it all gets interesting when you start to feel that way, isn't it? A daft red card, an OG, a shocking 25 yard blast past Given and all of a sudden it's fuclin real. Let's hope we have the concentration and focus to get the 3 points with no injuries today.

Come on CITY!!

[mr_nool]

I don't min seeing Belles getting a rest - I want him to last all season. But why is Petrov on the right again?

[carl_feedthegoat]

NOT ONE SHOT ON TARGET IN NEARLY 10 MINS FFS !
COME ON....PRESS THEM !!!!!!

[Sister of fu]

Really sloppy at the min. Need a kick up the backside!!

[Crossie]

Petrov on the right so we play abit narrower, or encourage the overlap. Failing that he can just cut in and see what opens up, its worked well in plenty of Mancinis games so far.

Im abit worried though if Ireland isnt on form today, which he hasnt been so far, we might struggle to break this lot down.

A near miss or atleast 5 mins of pressure should break them, at the moment, they smell blood

[HBlock Cripple]

passion and desire anyone...................................

[Somerset Blue]

Pompey don't seem to have read the script - don't they know we need four goals?

[shawzy]

Vary impressed with Zabba,Toure and Tevez so far.

But why play narrow againsta team that's come here to park the bus?

I was hoping for a 4-4-2 with Ireland as attacking mid in my preview, but I sure didn't mean with Barry on the left wing and Petrov on the right.

[Crossie]

Way too one diamentional.

We have negated Tevez's form and strength by moving him out of the position thats given him 243 goals in 42 games.

Adebayor is carrying on from where he left off, which was bench form. (Hughes last game = dropped)

I just think we need some balls in the middle of the park, some fire. someone to fucking dominate our little shy pixie midfielders

[Somerset Blue]

Better by City.

[Good Times]

What's wrong with Petrov's head?
