I've made a banana cake to ease the pain.

Suggest everyone does the same.

If you like bananas.

If not, make something else.

It's pizza night for me. Spicy pepperoni with chorizo added and not a pineapple chunk in sight. Yum!

Also, Martinez knows things aren't going well so he's trying something a bit different. Cool your jets.

nbc is guessing:
hibbert jags distin
coleman besic mirallas barry baines
lukaku eto'o

Fools, they forgot Howard. Probably think he's playing wide receiver.

Bloody Americans.

I thought the stink about Martinez was that he wasn't willing to try something new. Time to mutate the stink.

Martinez hasn't tried anything different since 1998, when he suggested doggy instead of missionary after one too many sherries.

Big Sam again there nailing it.

Redknapp and allardyce showing how clueless they are

Really poor team this. If you want to play on the counter against City then you need energy and pace. So from the woeful team the other night he's kept 33 year old Barry (3rd game in a week) 37 year old Distin (4th game in a week and a half) and Howard (who just needed dropping). He's then brought in Hibbert and Etoo, two players with neither pace nor energy. Now I'm sure Hibbert will do a good job but I don't understand what Etoo is going to do unless its to nick a goal. Naismith and McCarthy would have been perfect for this game but in their absence I don't see why Browning, McGeady or even Pienaar aren't getting a run out. We will get ran though in midfield. Just thank god Silva isn't playing and hope Aguero has the wrong boots on.

Who else is he going to put at CM if he leaves Barry out?

Yeeeaaaahh

Celebrate that 1st bite like we've just beaten City before looking up to see we're 9-0 down.

Seeing Eto'o stepping up and laying out some thoughts before the match in warmup makes me smile like Samuel Eto'o. Love me some Eto'o.

Since we've basically conceded here, I'll just settle back and enjoy the football. Saving my angst for later. Kidding myself, of course.

It's 6.30 in the morning here...just heated up last nights curry and opening a beer. As I mentioned on another thread, I have no nerves at all about this game.
Prediction 3-1 City with our centre backs passing it a lot between themselves and then back to Howard

 

[Ducans elbow]

just seen the team hope he proves us wrong no Barkley though???

 

[toffee matt]

Sam nails it.

Opposition manager's have us sussed
