massive game this weekend at the swamp with 3 vital points up for grabs .
Kompanys return should give the blues a massive boost at the back .
no Aguero or Silva is a big loss but we should have enough in the tank to win this .
3 1 City
City 2-1
think City will edge this so 1-2
2-3 City.
rags

Bony on the bench 2-1 us.
3-1 rags.
3-2 city
Derby games hard to read form. 1 2 City win hard fought.

the scouse fooker says 1 1
6-1 to City.
3/1 to the blue
3-1 to City.
City down to 10 men in 30 mins but win 3-1
Will lose it in midfield, 2-0 to them.
Still all over the place defensively
2-1 Rags
An awful lot depends on the team selection. Hopefully Pellegrini will start the back four that started the season so well now that all are available and resist the temptation to ask Yaya to do any defensive work.
2-1 City
I'd go with vk and ota in the middle. Mangala gives the ball away far too much. Though ota does dive in...
Vinny and Mangala started the season great and I think they should be the pair for Sunday. Otamendi does look like he will be a good player though. It should be Vinny and another though. For all the talk from Pelle about of late, Vinny is the one that really holds together and can organise the defence.
We need our captain for derby games. He'll score anyway I'm all excited already!
The back 5 we had at the start was hart, Sagna, vinnie, Mangala and kolarov. We were solid and didn't concede any goals in the 5 games they played. Would go for that
Would also drop bony and play sterling there as he will be more of a threat with his pace against smalling and the ugly twot Jones.
I would go for
-------------hart---------------
Sagna-vinnie-Mangala-kolarov
------fernando--Fernandinho-----
------navas---yaya-----Kevin------
-------------sterling--------------
We cannot play with yaya in a midfield two. Either drop him for fernando or play him further forward
I'm going for 3-1 city.
Van Gaal says City are favourites.
Presumably he's stumbled across a tired old copy of Fergie's "Book of Mind Games" in a desk draw somewhere.
4-2 City, De Bruyne MOM
Although I did not predict the correct score, I see I was the only one that predicted a draw
That means you owe us all £20 each.
I thought it meant you all give me 20 quid
That would be just stupid.
