Pep is class. Apologised for being lucky with the pen and Aguero being off side. No skirting around it, or "oh I didn't see it" rubbish.

There's a few on here who should take a lesson from Pep.

DeBruyne, Fernandinho, Mendy and Stones have all been back in training this week. Boy are we gonna need them for this run in. From weekend it's something like a game every 3 days till the end of April

We rarely get anything from the mickeys at their place so you better get up and running quick.

KdB straight in the starting 11. Can't see him being very match fit or sharp

You'd beat Fulham with 9 men so don't worry too much.

Looking good up to now but you need to keep up the concentration levels against teams like this.

 

Better do us a favour tomorrow you lot

Rather fetching red and black scarf being worn on the bench by Brian Kidd. What's that all about? Homage to OGS?

City provided 1,500 of them to our away fans as a tribute to life president Bernard Halford, who died this week age 77.The red and black stripe shirt is an iconic away one at City and the scarf has been used before to pay tributes particularly as it stands out against our home colours 

 

Edit:-I'm really hoping Puma bring back a version of the red and black away shirt

How about letting the fans pick from 3 or 4 options? They are the ones buying it after all. Not just at City, any club.

Couldn't agree more. How novel would that be to actually let the people buying decide. Instead they all do it behind closed doors until the launch.

 

One thing I did like regarding consultation was choosing our current badge. We were the one's who chose the new badge instead of the eagle and stars one. There was a portacabin outside the ground for several months where you could go in and look at various options or themes and vote. The current one was far and beyond the most popular

1. Bernard Halford, RIP. City's club secretary then life president for 47 years. 

 

2. Our red and black roots

Don't count on it....our record at that ground is horrible.

City have amassed the same amount of points in 31 matches that Leicester did to win the league after 36 matches. 

 

Yet you are 7 points adrift of last season after 31 matches, but if it wasn't for Liverpool hanging on, you'd have won it again at a canter. 

 

Impressive.

How do the points differ on last year for Liverpool for the same amount of games Bob? You must be at least 10 points better?

When are you going to stop 'pleasuring' each other? 

 

One of you hasn't won the league in donkeys years, and the other has never retained it. Yet all you want to do is pat each other on the back. Sounds like you'd both be happy with second.

Interesting line up. The majority are either injury returnees or players in need of game time. Happy to see Fernandinho back though

[BangrakBob]
