Pre-match nerves kicking in, not wearing City shirt, not going to the bar till AFTER the game, so superstitions sorted. Saw the local witch doctor this morning and he told me it would be 2-1 but couldn't tell me to whom. Fecking Hell. COME ON YOU YELLOWS!!
Bournemouth will be on 73 points after this, so best we can do is 3 points off the top, though it could be 2 off the autos is the Binners beat Watford. Brentford still losing 1-0 to Millwall at half-time.
Line-up: Ruddy; Whittaker, Martin (c), Bassong, Olsson; Howson, Tettey, Dorrans, Johnson; Hoolahan; Jerome.
Yep got my maths wrong! Two points off the autos sounds perfectly healthy. Now we've got to start playing to our potential
Right, win today and we are right back in the title picture - what an incredible season of ups and downs this has been, hopefully just the ups remaining for us and we've had all our downs!
Positions don't matter at the moment, it's the points we make up on the top that do and with Boro losing there is a great chance for us to narrow that gap significantly today - especially if the binners somehow get a result.
