Match Day Thread Man City v Saints - Wednesday 10th March 6pm, Sky Sports

There are five possible outcomes to this:

Lose horrendously
Lose badly
Lose
Draw
Hahahahhaha Win.

Again, I'll eat my head if we are relegated in this game.

Discuss.

 

Keep it tight and try to keep it to a very respectable 8-0 loss.

 

I dreamt the other night we would win 1-0 with an injury time winner so that is what is going to happen.

 

Ralph can rest the entire first team for this one if he wants (monetary fine or not), for all I care.

Nothing about throwing the game. Exclusively about avoiding picking up even more injuries in a game that has nothing riding on it for us.

 

Do you remember in 2003 when we had the cup final v Arsenal, didnt we play them the week before and lost 6-1 - think we played loads of reserves?

 

Jermaine Pennant's career took off from there...

 

Christ, I forgot about that. He could have achieved far more than he actually did.

Didnt they buy him as a nipper from Notts County?

 

Think we played pretty much a full strength team actually.

I was in the Clock End at Highbury, nearly went home at half time.

 

I was in hospitality that night. Luckily I was in the middle of an Email Migration for Islington Council, so was staying up there very, very local. The next day in the office was 'fun'

 

Ah, my bad, wishful thinking.

 

We weren't even that bad tbh. Just one of those horrible evenings where everything they tried went in.

 

Sounds like about 9 out of our last 10 games...

 

Our defence has been dogshit for about a month though.

Wasn't really tested yesterday, but I do like this approach of using actual Full Backs at FB. Hence why I am genuinely less concerned at Danny getting injured than I would be if it were KWP.or Bertie.

 

Wednesday 10th March 2021 Manchester City V Southampton 18:00 KO
Referee: Jonathan Moss.
Assistants: Marc Perry, Dan Robathan.
Fourth official: Martin Atkinson.
VAR: Andy Madley.
Assistant VAR: Stephen Child.

Will Mr Moss do us any favours?

 

To judge by the match on now between Man Utd and Man City, we've got this. 2-0, with Che and Vesty. Maybe I should cut back on this afternoon drinking...

 

Vesty is due a goal. JWP hasn't managed to find him from a corner for an age.

 

He picked him out at Leeds, but Vesty headed wide.

 

This City pitch isn’t in the best of conditions.

 

KDB is no JWP

 

3-0 away win.
