Manchester City vs Liverpool - Pre-match build up & Match thread

[Manofthebog]

Man City haven't scored a league goal at the stadium since January 1st....

That's fecked it then.

[WILF]

I hope that the team take this reasonably seriously, chucking away league points against teams we really should beat is not a recipe for success.

Mentality and all that

[knockers]

I've got a ticket for this one from my mate who's a Citeh fan. Normally if I get a ticket for this fixture, I'm in the Citeh end with Blues now he's int he Liverpool end with the Red fans, should be funny watching him keep his mouth shut for a change. A mate from work told me to go into the Waldolf as they have a room up stairs, don't think I will though as I don't think I'd get a good reception. Don't go in Mary D's Shaggy that is a proper Citeh pub, not been in the Bradford but it looks a bit of a ****hole by all accounts.

I think some wag at work is trying to get me a kicking.

You need a good kicking to sort out yer music taste

[Shaggy]

Oh sod off and listen to Snooze Patrol.

What a top gesture from Manchester City.

Ceremonial flags at half mast for tomorrow's game

For tomorrow's game our flags will be lowered to half-mast as a sign of respect for the fans and families of Liverpool Football Club, who lost their lives in the Hillsborough Disaster on the 15th of April 1989.

Chairman John Wardle will be laying a wreath in the memorial garden tomorrow afternoon.

Just read that myself...I guess I'm an old softy, but this sort of show of brotherhood always gets to me.

Jeez doesn't feel like we are playing tomoz! Hopefully we will be 3 points closer to sercuring our champions league spot come 5pm! Citeh are in good form though but its a game we really should win

[lfc4ever]

Oh, we have a league match tomorrow, how quaint.

Err, we'll win, then go home, eat some food and erm, that's about it folks.

[Morph]

okay picking this back up seeing as no ones talking about it, there must be something interesting to say (although can't think of anything myself)

[johnly]

Crouchinho to start today and keep scoring? Think Pennant will start too given recent performances and Stevie and Carra will be back too. Arbeloa should start I reckon, he's been on top form and Masher in the middle too.

I'm going for a 2-0 win for us Crouch and Kuyt with the goals

Not much to say is there? Except maybe that we are going to see the battle between the new Didi Hamann, Javier Mascherano, and the old Didi Hamann, erm, Didi Hamann.

that's be enough to put you to sleep wouldn't it, I'd rather go xabi and stevie in the middle, and just attack them

[jonesie]

I always enjoy watching Stevie put Joey 'I should play for England' Barton in his place.

[Angry Dan]

Given Man Citys lack of goal threat I think we could and should play an attacking team with Gonzalez Pennant Stevie and Macherano in the middle.
