[cocktailsnlongshots+]

Ps when u said City to finish in top 3 did you mean top 3 in the NW of England? That I can't even buy.....Everton, Liverpool,Burnley,Bradford City,Fleetwood Town, Rochdale etc. I'm spent harping on them....thank my stars NCAA football is kind to me in my wallet cuz my brain is dead from this club...cheers

 

[rolltide]

So Everton and over (if hart in net)on Saturday....? Anyone?...and Roll if you can look back far enough thru the years here(not that I expect you to, just take my word)I was a Given guy not a Hart guy....Mancini made sure of Shays departure....

ah, could've sworn you were the one constantly calling hart a "world class keeper" ... unless you were doing it in jest and i didn't catch on

i have city slightly ahead of stockport at least. seriously, they'll finish top 3 or 4th at worst.

Total JEST my man...even when he was saving their hides in specific matches his errors/out of position ways were way more costly...he either needs a wake up call, a la the bench....or he needs to walk on..the goals to Ribery n Robben are not forgivable

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

Simple math formula...Joe hart in net=bet over add Lescott on back line=bet over w/both hands=make lots of monies

Nov 2 2008...last time Jussi Jaaskelainen beat City....if City want to stop the charade and contend for top 4 CL spot and more so respectability, you go into Upton Park Saturday eve and stomp some arse....how west ham score is beyond me...if Hart is in net, they will....I say 2-1 or 3-1 City this weekend, then we all get giddy and moist for Wednesday and probably bomb out in Russia ....seen it happen ever so often...cheers

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

Like I had Saturdays paper days in advance...didnt bother looking at line for Wednesday..if harts in net you know what to do...I'll be impressed if we get a point here...29 degrees at game time...lovely...start jovetic, Dzeko and Kolarov up front all of our spanish and South Americans gonna freeze..did I mention if harts in net bet the over?

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

Fairly shocked that Moscow are 4-1 pups at home...I wouldn't trust City on 5-6' odds ...over 2' should be golden w/our makeshift defense and all world keeper...going to be cold so I'm sure that will be harts excuse when the first one trickles off his mitts...

just heard it this morning on talksport. i guess there's been so much rain this field is nearly unplayable and if it rains at all tomorrow might even cancel the game. see if i can find any written confirmation in the press but pellegrini was bitching and whining...what else to expect from a city mgr though

I don't see any rain in the moscow forecast though so might be ok. really don't see how city could lose this match as pretty much every CSKA player i'm familiar with is hurt right now

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

I did a check of their roster before as well...crickets is all I heard...but you seem to follow all walks when it comes to football...I follow City and my natl squad(neth)...and a few games here and there...so I'll trust your info...that would blow if game gets called...planned my day around 12-3pm mañana

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

Best play by Hart thus far, the punt cross midfield after taking it out of the back of his own net!!!

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

LSD obviously kicking in...I thought I just saw Joe hart save the game?

 

[gobucks]

I don't think he knew much about it, but he certainly was in the right place at the right time.

 

[gobucks]

Roll Tide.........books lowering United's odds after seeing that RVP is out. Real Sociedad is a mess. Value at -173?

 

[gobucks]

Now -150.....Had to go for it. If Moyes doesn't get this result....yikes!

 

[rolltide]

i'll be rooting for their win otherwise my big game is the league cup vs norwich next week

if i were betting i'd be on sociedad +1 -133

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

No thought how tomorrow ends...have owned Chelski thoughts n prayers last few seasons but I cant stand nor trust this city defense/keeping back 5....coaching styles clash....mourinho's gets his way Chelsea 1-0 ....Pelli gets his way City 4-2
