Devil Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Possibly Torres back but on the bench for this one. I am expecting a very good game today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieH Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 be surprised if torres is on the bench yet dev. and i'm not expecting a good game. i'm expecting us to defend deep and stolidly the first half then look to nick something in the second. also think city will get more nervous the longer they don't score against us and that'll cause mancini to retreat a bit. glad tevez is out but shame vieira's suspended though.

City seem to be imploding, so now's the time to be playing them. This game is pivotal for them (and Mancini), and they are bottlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be made up then if one of the principals of the story denies it No smoke and all that. Let's see if Mancini is still there come the summer. Mancini confirmed he had a barney with Bellamy, and if you add Bellamy's (and the rest of the squad's) evident and well-leaked unhappiness with Mancini's training regime (and their doltish love of perennial underachiever Mark "There's lovely for you" Hughes), it is a pretty well corroborated story I reckon. Liverpool must be well up for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say I thought Mancini would still be there come summer. A mate of mine tells me something that was already agreed when he came. I like what he tells me but am waiting to see if it happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharecropper Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I have just spent ages looking at the final games left for all teams from Spurs to Fulham, giving each of those teams a win against lower sides, and draws or losses to teams above or around them, and some special games, derbies etc taken into account and I think this is how it will finish: 4. Spurs (68 points) 5. Liverpool (65 points) 6. Villa (65) 7. Everton (61) 8. Birmingham (61) 9. Man City (59) 10. Fulham (57) Rough and ready of course, and looking harsh on City, but they have to play Chelsea, Spurs, Birmingham, Man U, Arsenal and Villa! I gave Spurs the 3 points for Everton, and Man U, 1 for Man City, none for Arsenal and Chelsea. Fourth place is for the team that cocks it up the least from now.
