Manchester City (H) - 16/08/25 - Build-Up & Match Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

I normally look forward to the first game of the season. Not so much here with our rancid pre-season form and lack of genuine options.

I would obviously like us to sign a proper RWB but we won't.

[Kenny]

Mosq won't start. Probably looking at the League Cup game in a few weeks before that happens.

 

[Kenny]

oh and our favourite Aussie ref is in charge of this game

 

[Jinky]

0-3 (if we’re lucky)

Would normally be buzzing for City at home, opening game, under the lights etc etc. Cheers Fosun.

Would go with Dan’s team but Doc & Hoever will start.

 

[Lupo]

August 2018 we played City at home, I was in hospitality courtesy of W88 and had my photo taken with Diogo afterwards.

August 2025 we pay tribute to the lad

 

[sycophantia]

Shit got real with this thread .
It'll probably be DWs team but with Doc for Mosquera, Muntesi for Lopez.
I hope it's R Gomes but worry it will be Hoever.

0-3

 

[Wilf Wolf]

I never expected a win over them under GO after a shambles of a performance against Ipswich. I’m even less optimistic now, 0-3. Maybe a big defeat will see the penny dropping, but that’s as unlikely as us getting a point.

 

[Sniffer]

0-3 (if we’re lucky)

Under the lights?

 

[Kenny]

Under the lights?

Its so depressing and gloomy right now we will need them

 

[Dire Wolf]

Dan's team would be best, but I think it'll be Hoever and Doc. I think we'll lose by at least 3 goals.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Jesus!
Are you guys actually suggesting that Fosun are reluctant to release funds (even though we've sold a few and saved a fortune in wages), until we get thrashed a couple of times then they'll reluctantly open the purse strings?
Really??
Obviously, the implication being we're not really trying at the moment ?

No offence here but have you been in coma for the last 3 or 4 years?

 

[Carsy]

1-0 win. Hoever assist. Fabio goal

 

[Wolf Hunting]

That made me laugh!
No, but whilst I actually think they run the club like they run Club Med and all their other business's in their massive portfolio, It isn't how you run a football club. Whilst they're shit owners, I can't honestly sit here and think they're doing it on purpose.
'Don't want to spend money, Shan't! Shan't be made to....' kind of thing...

 

[Aquilador]

I’m going to be optimistic and say 0-0. It would be great to start with a point for a change.

 

[Keef]

We’re in the family consumption part of their website, where the strap line is ‘ leveraging fashion for family enjoyment’ lumped in with clothes makers you’ve never heard of, that’s how high we are on the importance list

 

[Jinky]

Under the lights?

Evening KO, no?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Have a look out of the window at 5.30pm tomorrow. Don't think the street lights will be on.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Evening KO, no?

5.30pm still very much................

 

[Spartacus]

How many does Haaland usually put past us? Add two more and that is your score line - with none in for us...
