You Lucky People - Tommy Trinder
I thought I would start this one with a complaint regarding the We're Not really Here show that is aired pre-match on the City+ and OS site www.mancity.com on the game versus JoMU, I don't know what the producer was thinking when he had David James as a pundit, he is without a doubt a Liverpool fan, but says the right things on the show because they pay him to appear, he is the only one that never wears any City clothing, unlike the others that appear and you can tell that his heart is not with the Club unlike former player Shaun Goater and Paul Dickov, just to name two as examples, but he jinxed the game.... Just saying.
It was a good Day on Wednesday although we did not start like a house on fire, but did a job on Southampton, a game now without controversy namely both penalty decisions, one give and one not, as it turns out neither mattered but remembering Super Mario 'Why Always Us(me)'
We are going down to London to take on a Fulham team who verge on relegation and are in desperate need of points, but there is still enough points to be had to avoid the drop, we just hope that they don't get any from this game. Scott Parker their coach is doing OK, but of course lack of funds and the willingness of players of quality to attach themselves to a newly promoted club is always difficult, I shall digress here for moment as I remember when ADUG took control of City and people were falling over backwards to say they would never sign for City, even though they had not been asked and why would they join City when they could play for a better team like JoMU, and then you start to wonder when players did start to sign for City why was FFP introduced when it was fair before this? That is why Fulham need to establish themselves in the premier and then they be more desirable.
This week on #WNRH (for our tweeters) the Guests are Michael Brown & Richard Dunne
City Team News - Everyone came through the midweek match unscathed and it was good to see Sergio Aguero get a cameo appearance and he may well do so again this Saturday, Nathan Ake, who has been in full training this week, should make the bench in place of the Summer departee Garcia ad finally Phil Foden has been practising staying down when tackled

If Pep’s reaction to events on Wednesday are anything to go by he will have little trouble motivating the troops to continue delivering even in the face of ludicrous, inexplicable decisions. We weathered a storm from Southampton who really had us on the back foot and forced errors the most egregious of which IMO was Kyle Walker’s vacant back-heal to nowhere when surrounded by Opponents by the touch line any of whoshe ankles he could have played the ball against for a throw in.
