I think the dozens of people in the stands will be very excited to see him. I don't think our unique atmosphere will cause Pep any problems :)

Maybe some don't, but I super appreciate it :D I guess that means we are the biggest club in Manchester now. Lovely.

The tears of Stevencc, Christian Slater and Scruff are absolutely delicious. As salty as I'd hoped. As I've read thousands of times from United fans, he'd obviously rather go to trafford instead but the club never made him an offer. How very fortunate for us :)

I trust Pelligrini to do the right thing with Nacho. I don't know if he should play again days after the FA cup, but I think he should be playing as many minutes as anyone else is doing.

We lost this fixture 1-0 four years in a row. I hate Sunderland and desperately hope this is finally the year they are relegated. So I guess I'm predicting a 1-0 loss. Hoping to jinx it so it doesn't happen again.

I think you're missing what I'm saying. I don't mind people saying "Emptihad" trying to annoy City fans, its part of being a football fan. As Silkyman says, its nothing compared to what we went through in the 90s when we were falling through the divisions. It's just that its SO repetitive...

Err, we have no idea how much force was used by the defender who put his arm across his chest. Enough to make him lose balance? Possibly. I saw some other people online say it was a dive, but looking at the replay I think people are seeing what they want to see and not what they actually see...

Chris almighty this "emptyhad" crap is getting boring. Who even gives a shit? I don't mind people saying it but wish our match threads weren't just filled with the same thing over and over and over again. Its extremely dull. Anyway, brilliant game, I just desperately hope KDB hasn't done his...

I hope when Terry eventually retires that Chelsea make Diego Costa captain.

That will do nicely!

I haven't read the thread but I hope people have been posting the "worse than Moyes" stats.

I've mixed feelings about that red card. It was a stupid tackle, he was the last man so it deserved a red .............. but it didn't look like he actually made contact, so Diego Costa cheating again. It was kind of amazing any player would even dive in that position, he was through on goal...

Lucky to get a point, we didn't deserve it. The contrast between our performances at home and away are amazing, we just can't travel at all. It's also why we probably won't win the league cup. Even if we get by Everton, we won't win at Wembley. So frustrating.

Probably. I think we've just been way under par even considering we have been missing Kompany most the season. Iheanacho coming on has made a big difference. He should probably be starting for us. (Another thought, in the home fixture we were robbed 2-1 by west ham. Any undeserved points here...

Silva off. Unusually for him he's had a terrible game today.

It's all the worse when you consider how we were flying at the start of the season. I'm not sure what happened to that level of performance. I don't think it's just about Kompany, there was high intensity in those weeks which has vanished since. 28 points from 18 games wouldn't normally be...

*sigh* and there it is. So poor at the back from us. I love Pelligrini but there is no doubt City have way underperformed in the league considering the strength of our squad and money spent. What will be 43 points from 23 games is not a good return when you want to challenge for the title.

I wouldn't say that was a dodgy penalty. Looked pretty clear-cut to me. We have very little control over this game and seem to be getting done in midfield. West Ham the better side so far, and if we didn't have Aguero doing things on his own we'd still be behind for sure. Unless we change...

Probably. There aren't many city fans on this board. Actually other than Silkyman I can't think of any off the top of my head. (To be fair nobody would have thought of me either, I don't post much :))

You mean us? Why the quotes?
