[Veevs]

Don't Hughes and Tevez have the same agent?

Isn't hughes agent Kia Joorabchian and Tevez the also infamous Pinhas Zahavi?

[waggy]

CITEH WERE SHOCKING YESTERDAY,WE WILL WIN

[trueblue]

...more likely suffer the backlash Waggy, dish the tin hats out and man the trenches on Saturday - it aint gonna be pretty

[brian_gallagher85]

We have some big star names in the team which might help us get a result, I'll go for:

Robbo

Irwin Samba Smalling Pedersen

Holliet Gerrard Nzonzi Rochina

Rooney Batsituta

The fact that we have an forward line up worth easy over £100 million, suggests we are going to score. With Gerrard winning the ball in midfield and making them forward running, it's still the wingers that concern me.

I thinhk it's time to introduce Irwin and Smalling, Irwin has been consistent for many years and Smalling this season has looked a regular England international.

What planet are you on? Irwins a left back, and Salgado is still capable of walking so will start.

[McClarky]

I am looking at City's problems as a boost for us. There are 2 scenarios. They either are in turnoil and play badly or they are galvanised and play superbly. At least this gives us 1 chance when earlier in the week I would probably have said we had 0.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Sure City had some off the field issues but they lost because they were completely outplayed. If we had a Bastian Schweinsteiger and a Franck Ribery then maybe we would stand a chance, but we don't.

[Mattyblue]

Exactly, I've not seen the new City dismantled like that before, tremendous Bayern display.

[Dave S]

What planet are you on? Irwins a left back, and Salgado is still capable of walking so will start.

He's refering to how Steve Kean described Bruno Ribeiro (Right back) as an Irwin like player. Also Formica being like Batistuta, Anderson being like Smalling etc.

[Andy]

Bayern had won their last 10 leagues games without conceding a goal, so there was always a good chance that they were turning City over.

We're rubbish and managed by Kean - it's an absolute banker away win every day of the week.

[K-Hod]

Bayern were terrific last night, only Joe Hart can realistically emerge from that game with any credit from a Citeh point of view.

I really don't know how to answer this :D

[1864roverite]

7-0 City - they are coming to destroy us and show the footballing world that the off field issues are not going to affect their title ambitions.

Cant wait for Keans excuses on this one.

Key players have been injured or not trained this week.

It was always going to be difficult with players coming in, playing out of position etc.

The new lads need more time to settle in.

The excuses for this one are already on there way with his 'players need to step up' comments.

[Hi Mack]

No ###### Sherlock...

In that case you think Bruno's a LB? He's a RB.

Myles Anderson isnt a footballer!

[Veevs]

*sigh* role on the sarcasm emoticon..

[Mercer]

No official news on the injury front doesn't sound good.

Speculation that Dann is seeing (or has seen) a specialist and there's no quick fix with the end for Nelsen, seemingly, not in sight.

[True Blue & White]

And don't forget he thinks Goodwillie is just like a Scottish Wayne Rooney.

[Muddboy]

Can't wait for Saturday.

Another moody journey back down the M6 for me after we've been spanked.

Great.

[chris]

And don't forget he thinks Goodwillie is just like a Scottish Wayne Rooney.

“David has always been put on a parallel with a young Wayne Rooney (Keep in mind Rooney cost £30 million at 18 and Goodwillie is 22 and cost 2m) and you can see that when you see him play. He can score all types of goals, not just nice build ups and a tap in. “He can create a goal for himself, score from outside the box, he can chip them in, pass them in, smash them in"

Just need time to settle, time we have too.

Great.

Why? Are you giving Baldrick a lift as far as Aylesbury?
