[COC] Manchester City: Build Up

[G]

Nate Clyne has ****ed it up by chatting **** in the papers so we can all blame him. Mouth shut, talk after the game not before. Hate players who can't follow that simply rule.

[Muddled]

It depends where Toure plays as to whether we are likely to suffer, but in saying that, Toure looks to have pretty much checked out. He's had his 18 months of being unplayable, he's just a lazy mardy arse these days.

Also, since Guardiola created this media circus that City had to nip in the bud for reasons unknown, they've lost three of their last four games.

[Muddled]

There's also this factoid going around:

City lost 3 of 4 since Guardiola news but rut goes much further back. Since Nov 8: P23 W11 D4 L8. Only 1pt more in past 21 PL games than Utd

Only just clicked that the stag do I'm going to over the weekend (which is making me use a days holiday (as well as 2 more for their wedding that's on a ****ing Wednesday?!) and is costing me £200) means I can't watch this.

I'm absolutely fuming! I'm seriously considering dropping out last minute- but the guy lives on my street so its not like I can avoid him

[RedReet]

Poor planning, but where are you going to be that you won't be close enough to a bar to escape for 2 hours?

I'm assuming you must be doing some sort of activity, otherwise why wouldn't everyone be up to going to the bar for the match.

That sounds like a wild stag do....not!

Just pull out saying "you suffer from severe seasickness"

Sounds like hell, even without the match on.

Just realised after I posted that I made a similar mistake in 2005 and had to watch the Chelsea final in Birmingham airport. Would have been fine except we obviously went to e/t, which meant I would miss my plane. Missing the plane would have been preferable, but it was delayed a bit, so I just about made it, but all my mates had fallen out with me, the whole plane hated me for being a drunken ****** and holding them up, then I woke up a day later without my wallet, bank cards or passport, everything inbetween a blur. Thanks Gerrard.

He's related to Captain Birdseye and Captain Pugwash....so that won't wash

Tell me about it!! I agreed to go before i knew the details and then it was too late to back out. Sounds dreadful

I cant fein illness as he lives on my street and his Mrs is coming round to mine tomorrow night

[RoadEnd]

Anyone going Wembley fancy a pint beforehand? I'm on my own

If you can get me a ticket, I'll join you!

I'd even buy your drinks!

[RedReet]

So will I, we'll make it a party.

My missus is from Llangollen ha ha!

Why have you picked Llan?

Anyone going Wembley fancy a pint beforehand? I'm on my own

this is the first Wembley/final type trip I have missed in ages and ages

I didn't bother paying for the cup games on my season ticket, just couldn't afford too.

+

The villa semi final last year really killed me off financially as I went for three days staying at a mate, physically cause I got smashed for three days straight and had to be up for work at 8am on the Monday and emotionally cause we were sooo **** and I have few mates from uni who are villa fans there also.

I'm not working at the moment - so whilst I could have just about afforded it, and if I pushed would have sourced a ticket, I can't really justify I big weekend like that without wages coming in

[Chazza]

Thought your job was going well mate?
