    That would be great. Perhaps if he could score in the last match of the season, against ManU, that might actually come true, because he will have played his last match for Saints, which would then leave the door open for a return to Brazil. :)

    If Guly scores, it means he's playing so I hope I don't see him score... even though secretly I'd be pleased.

    That was my point.

    It is written. He will score the winner against United.

    Don't you just love him! That is a statement not a question.

    OK getting pumped for today. Lets get at them from the start. Get an early goal and anything could happen. COYR!

    We mustn't let them score first. Or, preferably, at all.

    If we score early I'll fear a City onslaught from then on. In a weird way I'd probably feel more confident if we went into the break at 0-0.

    If they don't score by half time the crowd will get nervous, which might help us. Then a quick succession of goals from Jack Cork, JWP, and Luke Shaw.

    Steady on; I thought it was only me that became "pumped". I thought you lot were more "stoked". I appreciate that I have no copyright on this but I have been pumped before games for many years now. However, if that's the way you're really feeling, I feel honoured that I'm no longer in the minority. Perhaps we should have a poll.

    If Shaw scores, my devious plan in the prediction game will be going swimmingly.

    And they can't be expected to know that his brother cut my hair at his barbers in Bedford Place. I didn't walk out looking like Mick though, and it didn't improve my game much either.

    Just been on a Man City forum. Amazingly, they are all predicting a win for Man City.

    Cheeky blighters.

    Its a wet drizzly morning here in Manchester - i bet they still water the pitch at HT though. Cant wait to get into the stadium - have a good feeling about today, unlike my son next to me here who is not at all positive . COYR !

    I think many of us view this as a real banana skin game.
    Southamptons pressing style is a real problem for City and really knocks us out of our stride.
    Hopefully our greater need will result in a narrow win but really wouldn't part with any cash betting on it
    With Aguero out it should be more or less the same X1 that started at the emirates

    Hart
    Zabaleta Kompany Demichellis Clichy
    Fernandinho Yaya
    Nasri Silva Navas
    Dzeko

    Maybe Negredo for Dzeko or Milner for Navas but formation should be the same with one up top

    Hope you are right PPLF. Should be a great game to watch.

    By chance I've found myself in Manchester for the weekend. Any one know which pubs are for the away fans?

    Might be worth playing Rodriguez more central and targeting Demichellis. Think Rickie will have a tough time against Kompany, so Rodriguez may be a better option. Would be an interesting battle to see Toure against Wanyama!

    Not many near the ground but you'll be welcomed in any pubs in the City centre,try the bulls head on London rd opposite Piccadilly station then get the tram from there to the ground
