Manchester City 3-1 Watford FC - 02/01/2018

I'd say that should be the ceiling of investment on this one!

 

So after pimping himself to Everton he's now trying to get a gig in Spain. Wow our head coach is classy....

 

I'm off to the pub for a few pints, then home via the chippy and listen to commentary on Three Counties Radio, while eating said fish and chips with a glass or two of fine wine. Then I can watch our victory on Match of the Day.
What a wonderful way to spend the rest of the day.

 

Sarcasm truly is the lowest form of wit.

 

I'm in the Red Lion, and pretty plastered already.

By 8pm, I should be even more oblivious to the world around me than usual, which is the first positive thing I've had to say about tonight's game yet.

 

Please keep your masturbatorial habits to yourself.

You're not going to watch it on a grainy stream? I'm going to indulge in the "shout box" on here. First time for me, I've heard it gets quite spicy on there. Can't wait!

 

We might get a bit of joy on the break if Richarlison and Carrillo turn up. Unfortunately the defence will kill us again and if City get an early goal then it's anyone's guess as to how many they'll get.

 

Too many adverts, keeps crashing, also my anti virus goes into meltdown.
Not really used to this, don't miss many aways. have not missed any that are not televised since Chelsea a year ago.

 

To the 2% of City fans that think we'll beat them........................................

 

I actually think this won't be anywhere near as bad as many of us fear.

Swansea was a disgrace because we dominated a team and somehow contrived to lose. We were still a far better (if complacent) team for 80 minutes. City are truly knackered and certainly not as scary as they were a few weeks ago. Two knackered teams is a big leveler for a game like this.

We will lose, but I don't think we will get embarrassed:

Man City 3-1 Watford
Aguero (90+4, 90+6), Cleverley (og 90+8); Doucoure (65), Cleverley (missed pen 90+3)

 

Reports from a Belgian journalist on Twitter that De Bruyne has a chance of being in the squad for tonight. Sigh.

Agreed. And no matter how complacent and lackadaisical we have been playing some bottom of the league clubs lately, you can bet every one of those players to a man will be busting a gut to be the first team to beat City.

Ability aside, we will/should be well up for this one.

 

I know I'm biased but I'm not sure I would risk the prize asset 48 hours after such a worrying event.
If he's ok possibly put him on the bench.
Not that it matters one iota,I'm just hoping for a improved performance and no injuries to Doucoure,Chas or anyone really!

 

I've heard anyone really isn't playing tonight!

 

The City official site has got an article called Sterling vs Watford.

That will probably be enough for them to get the three points, to be honest.

 

Whenever someone eats at a football match they and the food are both exhibiting appalling taste. The exceptions I will allow are some of the attached 'proper' restaurants, eg at (dare I say it?) chelsea, or because they have run out of time getting to the match and parking the car and all that stuff.

 

Do you mean that no-one is playing?

 

Ticket hasnt arrived and club arent picking up - anyone got that mobile number to call pre match?

 

We will win 1-0 Gray

 

I think he or she or Loretta means that both no one and anyone are playing tonight.
That is to say Gino has given Silva the night off to spend more time with his timepiece and Lewis Carroll and e e cummings are in temporary charge.
We shall adopt a Hunting of the Snark formation and will slowly and softly vanish away,like an old oak table.

 

a win tonight takes us back up to 9th - come on

 

The Etihad is always empty

 

schrodinger's watford.

 

It's got "plucky performance, staying in the game without ever threatening their goal, then they bring on their big guns and score three quick goals" written all over it...

 

What the **** have we been doing ?

However I guess we aren’t the only team on a really bad run,

 

'Hearts of Oak' are what we need (along with nous and organization). But I'm not holding my breath.

 

Hopefully this will be called off after they have banged in the first 3 goals

 

In some ways, this may be a good time to play them (cue deluge of goals....) not later when they have recovered fitness.

 

And then get a bigger hammering in the rearranged game

 

Yeah, but we've got a game in hand and a 2-0 win would take us up to 13th.

Nurse!

 

I wish Gray was as out of form and injured as Aguero. I really do.
