PaddockLad 14528 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Theres a boozer outside Piccadily station, you can get the free bus to the ground from the street outside there. Keep an eye out for two forty something vagrants minesweeping pints. That'll be me and my mate, after I've been for a cup of tea at me auntie Brenda's. Mums a manc.

scotty84 0 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I think everyone's just a tad excited to hear Jamie Carragher's expert opinions and analysis on MNF tonight, and needs to take a moment to calm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 We could do with 3 injuries and 2 suspensions to force Ashley's hand in transfers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odin 0 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 We'll play a 4-5-1.. The only positions in doubt are at the back. Taylor might miss out so that would put Mapou in the center, Santon at LB. I'm not entirely convinced about City's new boss so this could be a good opportunity to get a point (IF they play a very different system to how Mancini did) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm not happy with the transfer window so far, but I think the wailing and gnashing of teeth over this game is a bit ott. We'll likely get beat, but we put in performances at Man u and Spurs last season that show we can sometimes turn up at top clubs and not be embarrassed. So they beat us 4 nowt last time? Elliot, Obertan, Simpson, Perch, Gosling and Bigirimana played that day. Think we can put up a much better performance tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3422 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I agree. We'll probably put in a grafting performance and get beat 2-0 or 3-1. If we manage to scrape a point I'll be over the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same team that chucked in the towel at the end of last season when we were still fighting relegation. 6-0 off Liverpool, 3-0 off Sunderland. Good players? Yes. Good team?

Odin 0 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 We've a pretty much full strength squad (with what we have) which we never really did at any point last season so there's no excuses if it goes tits up. I'd have Anita in ahead of Tiote for what it's worth. He has more pace and passes quicker and more accurately. Sissoko can tussle with Y.Toure.. so we need the right tools to get it to the forwards when we get possession back. Tiote will really stifle our play as well as being a total liability.

Anita isn't as good at breaking up play as Tiote is though and unfortunately due to Pardew's outlook on things that counts more than being able to pass and move.

Happy Face 29 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 The Magpies were allocated 1,700 places and sold just under 1,500 of them, while City also failed to sell out - and announced that child and OAP season ticket cards could be used by adults for the game.

Ken 119 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Think it'll be a well organised and extremely disciplined performance being the start of the season. Should be a respectable 3-0 or 3-1 loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
