Thierry Henry just suggested some of his colleagues let their feelings for Phelan get in the way when they spoke about Silva's appointment. Ouch. Say it like it is, Thierry
Obviously hope we get something today. Trouble is all the pre season ballcocks when Bruce told the Allams to stick the club up their Harris did not help a club already in a crisis. Staying positive today by reminding everyone we can play good football and still have enough fixtures to get our heads above water,all we need is a bit of Lady Luck and keep hold of what real talent there is left at the club.
Southampton 2-0 up on Leicester. Puts them right in the mix for the fight against relegation if they lose today.
Some people on this thread have forgotten the golden Hull City rule: When City play a tough team expect only defeat. This makes eventual defeat easier to accept (less painful). It also makes a good result feel even more satisfying.
After the three points we get today, we'll be out of the relegation zone, and just two points behind the current league champions.
It might be a day for a first victory at the Bridge, but I suspect 3-2 to them. If Harry puts in a fair but game ending tackle on Costa, you never know.
oh yes, he's a big strong unit, love to see him go through that horrible Costa like a knife through butter, leaving tramlines up his thigh, an elbow in his face and writhing in an agonizing heap on the turf.. and it was a fair tackle..
I think a draw would be a massive result for us today and give us a positive outset. I think we will have to score and I think we need to surprise them by going at them from the off.
I think Niasse could have a big part to play he could really give Luiz the runaround maybe getting us some good free kicks or a penalty.
Over recent years we have got draws at arsenal , Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool as well as the much talked about wins at arsenal and spurs , I hate the term free hit which is thrown about , results are achievable in games like this
There's no free hit, we have to try and get something out of these games because when we play burnley we'll ptobably get stage fright and lose
