Suz don't really care about your personal problems ;biggrin However I do hope adrain has a great game after all he will be busy ,this is his chance to win back his place ;pray
I am not wedded to the need or expectation that we will get anything out of this game, I just want to feel that we competed to the best of our ability and at the end of the 90, I want Man City to know that they have been in a game.
Come On You Irons, prove the bookies and pundits wrong and make em work for it.
The radio is unplugged. The television is unplugged. Tomorrow's newspaper has been cancelled. The PC is about to be unplugged. I am going out on the town to tie one on. It should be Tuesday before I find out the full details of the horror that unfolded between the hours of 16:00 and 18:00 on the afternoon of December 3 2017.
Looking at the subs, it's clear we are nearly down to 'last XI standing'.
Even with all our players fit and firing, this was not really a game we could hope for much from.
As chicago said, let's just see us compete for the full 90, and however many they end up scoring, let's have people purring over how good they were, rather than Carra or GNev slating our deficiencies.
Although let's not forget that football does occasionally throw up oddities.
Remember when we did Man U 0-1 in 2007 to ensure survival, having done Arsenal by the same score a few weeks earlier, our fans singing 'one shot, we've only had one shot'?

Winston Reid is a doubt after suffering a hamstring injury against Everton on Wednesday.
Andy Carroll and Javier Hernandez both remain out.
