    Well let's see how good Corky is, and how quickly he can shake off that ring-rust (stop giggling at the back.....)

    Thinking clearly isn't your strong suit, is it? As for ****ty clubs, Man City are the epitome of that. A few years ago you were relegation fodder with thuggish players like Ben Thatcher and Joey Barton and the 'brilliant' Stuart Pierce. You even lost to Portsmouth during our relegation season, just shows how **** you were. And you may be near the upper end of the league nowadays but dress a chav in a suit and he's still a chav.

    But Mickey is right, a large part of my dislike of Man City is due to their women's team. The fact that they bought their way into the top tier ahead of way more deserving sides such as Sunderland and forcing Doncaster, a club with way more history and success and had prior to this never been relegated, to be relegated by committee to make way for them simply because they have money is frankly disgusting. Likewise the fact that they've recently gone on a spending spree and bought several England internationals is such a clear sign that they're buying the league, just like the men did a couple seasons ago (yet didn't win you anything last season, did it?). A couple of seasons back they were playing in the third tier and they had never played in the top tier, now they're signing England internationals, it's ridiculous and if Man City lived in the real world, would not happen. Man City represent everything that's wrong with football from the greed to the huge impact of money. Though of course, I dislike Man City for the ridiculous spending and buying the league of the men's team as well. I'll give Man City one thing, there's certainly gender at that club: both the men's and women's teams have to buy the league because they're incapable of competing on an even foot with others teams.

    Hopefully not the hospitality suite, that would be unsettling for the guests.

    ****ing good reply. The only decent man city fans i know are mildly embarrassed by the way they have openly bought success.

    There were some posters on here that wanted Vic in a box some time ago.

    How many people are expecting a call-up by Poch for the match? I'm ready at the phone!

    Players not able to play because of broken bones...what a load of woosies! This is really going to test our strength in depth (or lack of). Those people moaning about Victor are about to discover all that he did. It may not be a coincidence that we've had this bout of injuries in the last few games....our players probably took risks against Arsenal and Chelsea. Some may be due to overwork. Doesn't matter what the cause...it is what it is. Let's hope that we get the ones with muscular injuries back soon, though probably not for Saturday. I suppose we should count ourselves lucky to have those points on the board. Perhaps we should all pray for snow to wipe out some of the winter fixtures.

    Just had a thought. Man City have carefully planned how to beat us by studying videos of our team. They won't be prepared for our totally new team on Saturday...we will smash them :)

    Perhaps you could save some of your disgust for the FA for allowing the course of events that allowed it to happen and also for your own club who decided not to pay their bills,many of whom were local people,threatening peoples homes and livelihoods
    All the owners of City have done is make improvements to the club and brought jobs and prosperity to the local community
    You just come across as a sad bitter little man,dont blame sheikh mansour for your tawdry existence

    City give back to the community and pompey take away
    Thats the difference lad

    So, is this looking possible?

    Gazzaniga
    Chambers Yoshida/Fonte Lovren Shaw
    Cork Morgan/Davis
    JWP Rodriguez Lallana
    Osvaldo

    Our bench is going to get really, really weak this weekend.

    Pochettino goes on to say that Davis, Fox, Schneiderlin and Guly are all still recovering.

    I reckon it'll be:

    Gazzaniga; Chambers, Yoshida, Lovren, Shaw; Cork, S. Davis; Ward-Prowse, Lallana, Rodriguez; Osvaldo.

    That's actually not a bad side. It's the bench that will look weak. On the plus side we will expect to lose and what an opportunity for some of the kids to show what they are made of!

    Lets tell them it's a late 5.15 kick off. They are so used to being on TV they might not notice.

    Someone tell Pochettino to bring his kit and boots. He could blatantly do a job at the back! Can't be any worse than Yoshida.

    Can't see Rickie not playing. Seriously hope we don't play Yoshida. Incredibly, Jos is the man!
