Potentially the toughest away game of the year and with our injury list made a lot more tricky. Let's get this one out of the way and see where we stand. They too have a few injuries with on form Foden possibly out with a heel problem, very dangerous player so let's hope he's missing. COYH! City Trivia. Not really trivia but something I saw today........Pep is hoping to splash £120 million on Bayern superstar Jamil Musiala ! Nearly all the money we collected for winning promotion to the Premier League. What chance do we stand, modern football!! 😠  |

13th April 2009 was the day our relegation to non-league was confirmed. 13th April 2024 we're playing the PL, European and world club champions. In a league game. Madness!

Fine posts from 8two and SW19! Looks like Rob may well ‘rest’ Mengi and Burke - Joe Johnson up against Haaland will be interesting. Whoever plays will do us proud I’m sure COYH

High spots of the day: The Stealers lost 4 - 1 at home, Sony Bradley scores twice for Derby, Southampton beat Watfraud and Nathan extended his unbeaten run.
As for Luton, as expected with an enjoyable moment by Barkley.

Comment on Outlaws, from Music Critic, that I totally agree with “1 point from safety with 5 games left? I'd have taken that back in August”.
Can’t fault our determination and fighting spirit: the season is not finished just yet.

All to play for! Great to see Micah Richard’s balanced assessment of our performance yesterday on MoD - worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. Was great to see Fred and other unlikely heros stymie City for a good proportion of the game. Superb support again, Rob gets how important it is to acknowledge this. Suggestions that Lakonga could return next week, v much hope so COYH
PS - just as I post this, Palace take the lead at Anfield - an example of the many worst and turns still to come in the remaining games

"5-1 to the empty seats!" Imagine winning 5-1 and going top of the league being so routine that you're more concerned about getting to the front of the tram queue than staying to celebrate it. Quite a few of the home crowd saw a 3-0 win...
The Premier League's a lot more fun when you have no expectations.
