    can someone please go on bbc and explain to jenas that a week doesn't start on a wedensday and run to tuesday

    "So far, the biggest week of Manchester City's season has been a failure - but they still have the chance to change the way it ends."

    Last week was bloody awful for poor city. I agree but this week is a whole other week...

    Also not a good comparison to think of the Spartans. Although Leonidas sending all except 300 of his army away was seen as heroic, his phalanx defensive tactic of intertwined shields was susceptible to attack from the wings and with City's pace that'd be an Achilles heel.

    Blimey, all this and FSG's Last Stand using "could have" instead of "could of." It's like University Challenge in here.

    I am of the opinion we use him. Fear of god and so. TAA will need all the help as I believe they will still target him

    No red card for a high foot into a bottomless pit either

    I strongly believe that Liverpool name is going to be the hat for the semi-final draw on Friday 13 . What else can I hope for?.

    To be fair, the definition is vague:

    A period of seven days.
    The period of seven days generally reckoned from and to midnight on Saturday night
    Workdays as opposed to the weekend; the five days from Monday to Friday.

    Is it five days or seven?

    This assumes a working week of Monday to Friday but many people no longer work this traditional week. It's not uncommon for people's weekend to begin between Monday and Friday and vary from week to week, depending on their shifts. So we should give careful consideration to calibrating a week as being any seven-day period, inclusive of the rest period generally considered the "weekend."

    And team-mate Mane believes the Egyptian could be back for the heavyweight clash.
    Mane said: “Bobby [Firmino] was on the bench [against Everton] and Mo had a little [issue] with his groin but I think everything is fine.

    Well, if we're going to get all classical, it might be Horatius van Dijk keeping the bridge from the Clusians.

    The Clusians were the away team there but there may be something of value for Klopp in the tactics, with the high pressing concentrated on the right wing:

    From now on I shall always see City as the Tarquins.

    If available, he must start.

    Him being on the pitch changes the game; we don't sit as deep, we have a out ball with a goal threat too.

    Without him, we sit deep and invite pressure. Only a matter of time before they score. Salah coming on at HT could already be too late.

    The longer the game goes on, the more pressure Man City will feel so we need to try and keep them quiet but I'd be more inclined to try and get that away goal. If they score two whilst we're trying it doesn't matter, they'd still need three more.

    Bottle(s) of red wine.
    Dog gets the blame if we lose because it's safer than blaming wife -mind you she will probably go to bed before the end of game if we're losing just to get away from me.<laugh>
