    I wouldn't call it spineless at all, Man City are tearing the @rse out of some opponents this season with their play, we are just being realistic and expect nothing when using our head but always plenty from our heart.

    I think some posters are getting carried away with our lofty position (which has been earned) plus some with Claret tinted glasses after the Iceman's display feel he's our saviour and superstar, he isn't, he's had 2 or 3 good games for us, I think he is a good player when he's on form which hasn't been a lot, like Brady, some on here feel he's a credit to our team, IMO I don't think the occasional good cross, free kick, through balls are enough, he has to be more consistent.

    Nothing would give be greater pleaser than beating City, its our biggest test to date and win, lose or draw as long as we put in a good shift I wont be too despondent.

    We last beat them away in 1963 when we won 5-2.
    I’ll take that!

    We have drawn two of our last three away games but losing 2-1 at New Year.
    We did of course win in 1960 2-1 to take the title.

    We have only won 3 of our last 20 games though!
    They beat us 8-3 in 1925

    Trying to remain optimistic but winning this one would appear to be a bridge too far.

    Right now I am more concerned about maintaining a decent goal difference which is worth a point in this league.

    It's hard to see City being stopped so its the goals against column that is the prime concern.

    Get away with a 2-0 defeat and its like a win IMO.

    Anyone putting money on a Burnley win? Worked last time!

    Moi! A tenner at 35-1. Might go totally bonkers and put another tenner on Wood to score first!

    One touch Wood- might score if we get a penalty

    Napoli should have drawn so hope Sean learned from their tactics in the second half

    Yes all we have to do is be a little better than Napoli!

    Averaging better than a goal every two games is Wood, IDWT you just convinced me to slap a tenner on him scoring first.
