Man City

They are tearing Chelsea a new one... imagine what the likes of Tevez, Nasri, Toure and Aguero will do to Fonte? I'm scared!

 

I was just saying that on a previous thread, frightening isn't it?

 

We'll have 'em

 

Get at them early doors and put one in the net.

 

only since theyve had 10 men, looked pretty dam average before that.

 

They haven't even got Hart or Silva on the pitch. Still think we have nothing to lose going into the game which might favour us however i do hope the players aren't watching this right now...

 

Sharp definitely is! He's tweeting about the game.

 

Ok serious question, since when did Fonte become the new Calum Davenport? He's getting as much stick as Guly now. Very brief rant owner.

 

All the team will be watching this.

 

Maybe if we snuck up on it............

 

I forgot City won every game last season

 

I find myself thinking "hey, QPR scored twice against them".

That said they are dominating and look great.

 

It's just one of those things. I still thought he was good last season but public opinion seems to have somehow swollen from "he's a bit dodgy, should probably upgrade for the Premier League" to "OH MY GOD HE'S SO BAD" for no real reason. Beats me.

 

The fallback position for a Saints fan is quivering wreck. Remember, you can't be relegated on the first day.

 

"A bit dodgy" is a good description I think. He's a good player, but I think he's a bit of a pushover. He looked shaky in most games towards the end of last season, so it's hard to imagine that he wouldn't be shaky against the likes of City.

 

Haha hope that Pantmillon is playing next week. I will be flying to Tunisia whilst the game is on anyway so my nerves will be because of the flight not our performance.

 

Nigel Adkins will come up with a plan to thrash City .

 

We all knew how good Man City can be, their team probably costs upward of £200million and everyone will expect them to not only beat us but destroy us. However we are an unknown quantity, they will underestimate us and expect an easy win. If we do manage to sneak a draw then fantastic, but if we get hammered I won't be too despondent because as we all know the game against Wigan is much more important for us. Also it's worth considering that Norwich lost to Man City 5-1 and 6-1 last season but still finished 12th.

 

Wouldn't mind if Panti-millions is in goal. That was dodgy and followed by that bizarre charade of holding onto the ball for as long as possible/trying to retrieve it out of the net for no reason.

 

His display against Blackpool last season was abysmal, especially when he got outmuscled from lil Dobbie.
