Urgent cry for help! One of my twitter followers has been let down on his lift for Saturday...does anyone have room in their car?!
http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=275029 Opposition view from City's bluemoon site Can see Mancini playing more or less full strength side on Saturday,with us having no European interest its become a lot more important to do well in the FA cup Should be more or less a full house,sold over 44000 so not much left which should provide a really good cup atmosphere
We have only kept a few clean sheets all season thus far. We need to keep it tight for the first twenty and then see how we can go from there. No doubt, the players will be up for this one, let's just hope they are wearing mostly yellow !!
City Team News, from BBC; "Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero (hamstring) will miss this weekend's FA Cup third-round tie against Watford but controversial forward Mario Balotelli is available after recovering from a virus. Manager Roberto Mancini says the 22-year-old could be on the bench but forward Samir Nasri is suspended and Yaya Toure, Kolo Toure and Abdul Razak are on international duty. Defenders Aleksandar Kolarov and Maicon (both knee) are not yet ready to return while right-back Micah Richards (knee) and midfielder Jack Rodwell (hamstring) are longer-term casualties." Heading off from Salisbury about 8ish. Boss dropping his missus off in Birmingham before the rest of the journey. Hope to be up by about half 12 for meat pie, chips and gravy and a pint or 2 of mild (apparently). Are people going to try and get to the bar in the grounds?
Looking forward to this one, has a feeling similar to that of past play-off finals or cup semi-finials, hard to keep it in perspective that its only the 3rd round! Really excited particularly for the amount of noise 6,000 Hornets can make! On the pitch, really hope Almunia, Hall and Abdi are fit. Having them in the squad will really increase our chances of getting a decent result. Either way, we will give City a game no doubt, heres hoping its a positive one!
In position at Brittania hotel manchester 3 bars a pizza house and a curry house all in the hotel dont need to go outside till tomorrow
Is this match gonna be on radio anywhere, as i know it's not on tv. it seems as if evry other match has at least radio coverage except ours, even though we were on BBC news for a few minutes today, with john barnes and others talking about our fa cup final in 84 and about the game tommorow. Why give us all that attention when we aren't even being covered.
I've picked up the minibus and bought bagels for breakfast, i'm ready! lol Has anyone heard about Abdi being a doubt? Master Hornette said they're saying it on the BBC...
So the team is looking like being: Bond Hoban Ekstrand Neuton Cassetti Pudil Hogg Yeates Chalobah Deeney Vydra Assuming that no-one else is injured/suspended/ineligible/in prison/on loan to Shrewsbury. (why isn't the spacing working?)
Will Buckley on now too. Wonder if they'll cover the Beleck loan? It's the sort of quirky thing I can imagine Colin Murray talking about.
Doesn't seem to be live unlike their chat with Buckley earlier. Nice joke at the end! "Harry" Groves...
Norway you are just around the corner from one of the finest craft beer pubs. Its called Brewdog and its on peter street M2 5BG. I'm thinking of heading there tomorrow about midday if you fancy a decent pint.
