Can’t wait for these delusional Mou posters to fuck off.I will probably get slated for being too optimistic...3-0 to them.
It doesn't really matter.Can't decide whether Citeh losing today is going to help i.e. quadruple gone or hinder i.e. make more determined?
Citys form has actually dipped a little since KDB returned from injury i think. Hopefully can stay dippingIt would seem KDB's ankle injury is quite serious.
I don't wish injury on anyone, it certainly helps up a little bit against them next week/
Get well soon KDB.
Played City last time without kDB and they smashed us 3-0. Doesn’t make a blind bit of difference. Foden is the replacement and he’s outstanding. We are going to get an absolute pasting.
'Get the fuck in!!!'I think we can all agree that next week's match is going to be a painful affair so I thought we could try and help each other through it with an official forum drinking game.
Just take a drink whenever the following is said on the match thread - kick off to full time whistle.
Feel free to add more to get a definitive list.
'...dinosaur...'
'Dier is dire'
'Wanks'
'Bloody Sissoko'
'Bloody Sanchez'
'What was that Serge?'
'Worst signing ever'
'I'm off to chat to the missus. It's better than watching this shite'
'Shocking defending'
'Son is such a streaky player'
'Get up Ndombele'
'Pass it Lamela'
'£15 million a season'
'Lucas just runs down blind alleys'
'Where is Bale?'
Just to start us off
Fuck himIt would seem KDB's ankle injury is quite serious.

I was joking mate. Well aware of why reallyThat record is more a reflection of Poch's attitude towards domestic cups than anything Kane did or didn't do. Kane barely played in the LC under Poch.
It will be 5 at the back won't it, with 2 defensive midfielders protecting them.
Last night was a trial run for it.
It's quite bizarre that I feel almost no excitement for this final.
Even the prospect of winning it doesn't fill me with joy. I don't imagine I'll be going crazy around my living room/the pub.
Is this just a symptom of a spoilt fanbase? We spent years eating out at the Ivy but never quite getting the best table and now we are faced with the prospect of being VIP at PizzaHut.
The 2008 league cup was the one and only trophy I have been conscious of us winning in my lifetime so you would think I'd be excited.
I guess it is just connected to the idea that a win will be the start of something, with bigger and better to follow. I still remember the post match interviews with Keane talking about how we have to push on from here and win more and I believed it.
Even if we win on Sunday the direction we are moving in is not clear and I think that's why it's a struggle.
I would be excited for this final if I believed in the team and the manager, but I don't. Being underdogs normally makes me more excited for a match but now we aren't underdogs, we are just losers. We know what will happen before a ball is kicked.
That run of games where Bale was starting and playing well feels like it never happened, we found something that worked and one terrible game against Woolwich put an end to it. Results since then have been horrendous but the manager refuses to use Bale despite him being his only possible salvation.
