Match Day Thread Manchester City vs Southampton 29/11/2017 8PM KO - Rated 18 and over Edition

3 horse race? Who else we playing?

 

The only thing it might be worth is a cheeky punt to see if we can hold out until half time.

 

Win lose or draw?

 

Ah.... get it now!

 

Can get Saints +2 at 6/5

 

The draw

 

But we always concede just before half time

 

16-1

The two teams occupy two of the top five positions for passes completed in the Premier League this season and the Argentine is keen to see the visitors stick to their possession-based instincts at the Etihad.

“This is a chance for us to put the play on the floor and move them around. City have not had to run behind the ball so far and they are not used to it.

“Of course, there may be moments in the game when we will have to defend more than usual but we have to be ready for that and adapt.

Sounds like we are going to have a go at outplaying them.

 

i have a feeling we will score early on

(and then concede three as the game unfolds)

 

Those are good odds. I dont think ive ever since such long ods on a saints win in a premier league fixture.

Thats pretty funny. The bookies myst think we are a bit **** or sommit?

Its worth a fiver just for the fun of it?

I've given this quite a bit of thought and I think I'd line up something like this:

Forster Taylor

Bertrand Targett Virgil Maya Wesley Jack Cedric Pied













Long

 

Mind games hopefully.

 

Good to see some Southampton fans in the pub I'm working in (Waxy O'Connors). Everyone welcome to call in if ye can get past the Phil Collins fans enroute to the arena! Sadly I have a flight back home for the sisters wedding so I'm missing the game

 

I'm looking forward to this funnily enough, everybody thinks we will get battered so it's a free hit so to speak and even a narrow loss will be exceeding expectations. Citeh have to lose sometime and it could just be one of those nights for us and their form isn't exactly sparkling at this moment.

 

You can still get 13/1 on Saints to win with a draw no bet.

Vin

 

Shouldn't that be in blue?

 

Hmm, scraped a late win against both Feyenoord and 'Uddersfield in their last two games, nah i'll stick to the black.

 

An Arsenal fan has just told me he thinks we can cause an upset tonight.

I told him there was more chance of Arsenal winning the CL/PL double, and Arsene Wenger riding an elephant in triumph up the Seven Sisters Road from The Emirates to Tottenham.

Actually, I'd like to see that last bit.
