Manchester City v AFC Bournemouth

[billythekid]

Old article from two months ago about City, their owners, managers and players.

The owners have been there 10 years, the first manager?

I think I am going to hide in a cupboard when we play them......

 

[Hoof_It]

I think that will be a very crowded cupboard with 10,000 of us in there

Is that what we're calling Dean Court now?

I've tried the cupboard thing...it didn't work because I had the radio with me and it kept letting them score...I've tried stirring my tea anti - clockwise ..going for a walk to a feed the donkey in the field along the road ... that's usually worth two goals in our net..all sorts....bloody Sterling is immune to all that!

 

[Toronto John]

I'm all for being optimistic, but there are friggin' scary and totally merciless. GF 40, GA 5. They scored 106 last year and seem determined to go better - on pace for 116!

 

[Ex-Joss-Man]

Lets just enjoy it, whatever the score........ it won't stop the JCL's from moaning though.

See ya up there.

 

[redharry]

If we still have a positive goal difference at the end of it i will be happy.

I'm getting in with my "no excuse for us being so poor and letting them tear us a new one" now so I can have Saturday off - lovely jubbly.

Ok, well I'll go out there and bravely predict a 3-1 win for AFCB.

If there is no room in the cupboard, believe there is a ‘wardrobe’ somewhere.

I’m actually looking forward to it. We’ve matched Man Utd and Arsenal albeit at home, whilst I’m not expecting a victory I think we can give them a decent game.

I think a draw will be a shite result : )

 

[AFCBade]

I think we will do ok up there. Been unlucky the last few games plus they have a few injuries so not feeling too down about it.

We will be missing a key player in Lerma.

They have got injuries, but they have such a strong squad in depth.

De Bruyne missing, but they have cover and more importantly for them, they are getting results.

Guardiola wasn’t overly happy with their performance at West Ham despite the 4-0 win ... plenty to improve on apparently!
Arrrrgh ...

Let's hope Jordan Ibe at least gets on, then it will be his fault.

only 9,000 in the cupboard, 1,000 didn't turn up just like our home games.

City have been awful first half at Lyon, who have missed four sitters. Hoping for a fourth season of beating the defending prem league champions. Of course we could get another 4 goal margin defeat but I am looking forward to the test. No point being negative all week!

Edit; now deservedly losing

Ibe will probably play a blinder
