I'll take it. Yes please. Anything other than 3 points is unthinkable. Yep. Plus I'd definitely start Marveaux next week.

One of out best performances of the season for me (the second half anyway). Quite a few encouraging signs, namely the passing and the movement. It was such a spirited performance and one which we probably didn't deserve to lose. Defensive errors galore mind. All in all, this loss hasn't put me in a foul mood (compared to our other losses this season anyway) so that's a somewhat decent sign in itself. We have to build on today and transfer it to the QPR game next Saturday. Nervous/positive signs ahead...

On my way to the pub. Slightly hungover but nothing a few pints can't solve.

Might as well try and go back for Erdinç too, you know just for the craic.

Mido's set to leave Barnsley, so that's another club to add to the list.

"One or two" = 0. January is going to be fun.

Many pints will be needed on Saturday lunch time then...to firstly get over a potential hangover and secondly to endure this game in a pub full of City fans

Many pints will be needed to endure the game then...

He did, back when Williamson looked rather good and PL ready (well better than his performances of today, so it is mystifying how low he's gotten).

Set piece coach Oh and that Gateshead link, that would actually be epic.

Tell me one player that came out with any credit from the 04/05 season? Laurent Robert, for his unique way of saying goodbye

SIGN A FUCKING NEW CB. Please.

Ahhhh booo.

Pre-2004, Kluivert was one of the best strikers in the world, no doubt about that. His spell here was rather forgettable mind and that has somewhat soured my opinion of the man (that and GHoeberX).

Try and stop me (Though I did the same thing when we played Man U in October, had the biggest face that day).

Think that's the last time I make a pre-match thread.

Whatever happens, I will be wearing my NUFC strip with the utmost pride on Saturday (in and around Manchester City Centre too).

Depends on if money is tight. If so, get Kebab. It is the logical choice after a few bevvies actually...

My work Christmas do is the night before this. Should be fun watching this game hungover.

What do you reckon lads, Dominos or a kebab? Comfort food should make me feel better...

Back to our old selves then.

Think everyone will tbh

If Pardew goes with Marveaux and Ben Arfa from the beginning...oh my.

Looks like Mancini's doing his best to undo the "good" work he did last season.

A phrase that idiot Andy Townsend says every single fucking time an incident like that happens
