Unlike Graeme state the ****ing obvious Anderson I don't think we have anything to lose. We get beat so what City are very good at home, in fact they are very good full stop. As long as we give them a game and keep it respectable (2-0, 3-1) then I'm fine with that. With the defence shot to pieces I can't see us parking the bus at City that would be suicidal as the City fan further up says, if we go for it from the off then we could catch them off guard slightly and, the best in my opinion we can even hope for is a draw. Mind you I said something similar when we beat them at SOL so maybe we can do the double over them or maybe not. Definitely on MOTD first or second as Man Utd play tomorrow early night for all of us.
Vaughan, Gardner midfield you might as well pick 2 lads out of the crowd for me, Gardner has been poor in the last few games and Vaughan hasn't been playing at all. Would rather we used Colback or Meyler in the middle with one of those two, if we keep the midfield fairly solid that could give the very thin defence a bit more protection hopefully anyway.
Nerves can cripple a team and if we can hold out for the first 20 minutes or so Citehs new breed of cry baby glory hunting fans will start getting on their backs. Squeaky bum time is definitely effecting them and they arent the same team they were in the first half of the season and trust me they'll still have the Jim goal at the back of their minds. Whats blue and doesn't fit? A Man City fans old Chelsea shirt.
Colback returns for City clash Team news ahead of tomorrow's game at Manchester City. Martin O'Neill will be able to call on the services of midfielder Jack Colback tomorrow. Colback has returned to duty ahead of the trip to Manchester City after missing the midweek cup defeat to Everton. The 22-year-old was granted a short period of leave after his first child was born on Tuesday morning but is now back in contention. "Jack hadn't had much sleep for about 24 hours and excused himself from the game, but he is available," O'Neill said. "We now have a couple of other injury problems but they will sort themselves out, I hope." Meanwhile O'Neill confirmed that John O'Shea is "coming on" but won't be available for selection at the Etihad Stadium. Staff will continue to monitor the progress of Kieran Richardson, who has spent almost a month on the sidelines.

you can see his point, and you are not alone. Success tends to attract those extra fans, many who are fans who just stopped going but sadly we all have those plastic ones.
When Roberto Mancini first announced yesterday that Man City’s leading scorer Sergio Aguero would be out of action for ‘one day, ten days or two weeks’ with a ‘stupid’ injury Pies immediate thought was ‘sexual misadventure,’ which probably tells you more about us than it does about Kun. Alas, according to the Mirror at least, Aguero has been sidelined by an altogether less salacious injury, cutting his foot on his three-year old son’s mini-moto bike and then having the gash treated with a disinfectant spray he was allergic to. Aguero is understood to have suffered an extreme reaction after a member of the City medical staff applied the spray, with his skin inflaming so badly that it came up in ‘burn-like blisters,’ swelling his entire foot to the size of a bloomer loaf. Yep. It’s fairly hard to argue with the ‘stupid’ assessment there.
