    Walker lines up for City tonight against his old club Spurs, as City play on their home turf at Nashville, Tennessee.

  2. What do you reckon the score is going to be, Pix?

    Spuds 1-0 down inside 10 mins.

    Must be the home advantage for City paying dividends.

    Not sure really, depends on how many subs each team use.

    What do you think the score will be ? And do you think that City will have any advantage being at home ?

    Do you have to get a special box or for that or is it built into the TV ?

  6. Both teams are playing away, Pix.
    <doh>

    Anyway, back on topic...

    I think Spurs should slaughter City - provided we are on our game.

  10. Not at all, Pix.

    Just being realistic.

    City have fantastic players. We cannot be cavalier in our approach, and our young , inexperienced defenders will need to be solid, or we will suffer.

    Kane needs to find some form, and our midfield needs to keep things flowing.

  11. It's all City, at the moment.

    Does is really matter though?

    I mean, as long as you're not constantly switching and changing based on who is winning, does it matter how you got started supporting a team.

    My dad wanted me to be a Norwich fan growing up (English side of family originated there) and named me after an Aston Villa manager. (My dad grew up in that area).

    I supported Liverpool though... Do you know why? When I got to primary school everyone asked if I was a Liverpool fan or an Everton fan, I said I didn't know. They asked if I liked red or blue. Thank God I liked red because they told me that meant I was a Liverpool fan and I played with the reds on the school field. <laugh>

    So I grew up nominally supporting Liverpool, although didn't really get fully the football bug until fairly late... In the late 90's.

    It's Bodankey who's concerned about this.

    Amazingly Spurs are still only 1-0 down. Should be around 4-0 or 5-0 to City.

    And inevitably, the Spuds concede again.

    They looked like they'd been drinking that famous Tennessee whisky that comes from Manchester.

    Wow, not far off a full strength spurs team and battered. City looking ominous. Line-up looks like a 3-4-3 too, they going to copy Chelsea and Arsenal now?

    Anyway, Spurs have the most expensive first XI in the world and have been the best team in the premier the last two years and have the best chairman and don't need any signings so it's not all doom and gloom.

    Pretty sure they were playing the back 3 before you last season.
