We'll get beaten. Chants of "get out of our club" will be screeched at Mike Ashley. A drunk eejit will fall from the Level 7 balcony and Alan Pardew will be shot in the dugout!

I was pushed! (Just in case)

 

I can't wait for this game. Christmas at the mother-in-law's this year, who wanted us to stay "for a few days" over Christmas. I conceded Christmas Eve as it will mostly be spent in the pub anyway, then was desperately trying to drum up an excuse for anything past Christmas Day.. and then somewhere a light came on in my brain... HOME GAME ON BOXING DAY! My saviour.

Can't wait for this one. Man City are a club I despise more than any other excluding Sunderland and what happened down there earlier in the season just made my hate them even more. Hate their fans, hate their owners, hate De Jong, Given the judas.....just despise everything about them.

 

Sadly I think they might beat us but if another 50,000+ crowd get behind the team like against Liverpool then we are in with a chance.

 

COME ON!!!

We need to try and make them feel hated as soon as the bus gets to the ground.  Anybody wearing a bed sheet should get the same stick that Quinn and Short were given before the game.

Fucking hell, I totally forgot about that Beye super-tackle that he got a red card for.

 

Had a really heated argument with a guy I knew who was a qualified ref about that, he said it was deffo a red and a penno and I was saying it wasn't. When it got rescinded I think I went on about me being right for at least a week.

Maintained his stance and said the FA got it wrong. I was being a twat like, but this argument was fairly heated. I was enraged. :lol:
