Is there anyone on here who believes we can get something out of the game on Sunday ?

What's your prediction Rick and what makes you confident ?

How many times have we been expected to win easily before and fucked it up? I am quietly confident that we are on the other end of that this weekend... but we will probably get smashed :lol:

A draw if we score first

Absolutely not.

I think unrealistically optimistic Cardiff fans will be the only ones who think differently!

It's football, stranger things have happened.... :o

I believe that we could snatch a point. BUT in all likelihood they will win.

Carl I believe in MM and his ability to prepare a team to compete in any game against any opposition.

Yes, I believe we can get something out the game. It will be a monumental challenge and we'll need a lot of things to go our way as well as a big slice of luck, but I still think we can get something.

Football can be a great leveler at times. More than most other sports.

Yes me as I have said in one of the prediction threads 2-1, sometimes the under dogs win when nobody expects them to, not even the ones they are playing against :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

If they score first and early on, they will slaughter us 4 nil, but if we can score first who knows :thumbup:

Just a feeling i got about it Carl. I remember when we played them on an August bank holiday weekend in the 83/84 season, our first season back in the old Second Division under Len Ashurst, we beat them 2-1 (Boden 2). A very hot day, if i remember correctly.

After last weeks performance, & with a bit of tweaking to the starting 11, i think we have a chance, all be it a slim one.

2-1 Cardiff City. I hope history repeats itself!

Oi negativity is not allowed on here :lol:

I will be happy if we can get a shot on target :oops:

Who knows, I don't think Man City have beaten us since 1984 (but we have only played them once in that time) :lol:

Re: IS THERE ANYBODY?

Fri Aug 23, 2013 5:05 pm

I think we can :ayatollah:

They have no fit central defenders
Their captain is injured and will have midfielders in defence
Their manager has never managed away in the prem before ( will he bottle it and change formation )
They have a lot of new players possible intimidation factor if we are loud enough
The history of this fixture is on our side
Our fans will be like a 12th man
They have all the pressure on them
Our main signings are fit and have had time to get to know each other
We learned a harsh lesson last week which won't happen again
Hart will take a hell of a lot of shit in them goals :lol:

If our defence holds out and we can score first we could bombard there centre backs with crosses and long balls with kimbo and whitts following up we will have a great chance of nicking something IMO

Yes.

Cardiff City - 1

Manchester's 2nd Team - 0

4-0 nil Annis :o Man City have never scored more than 3 goals in a league match in Cardiff but our record win, at home, against them is 6-0.


Never say never in football.

I think their players will suffer from over-confidence. Also our players will feel they have a point to prove after West Ham. Can see us leading 1-0 at HT, then they'll pick up their game and get an equaliser and it will finish 1-1

Re: IS THERE ANYBODY?

Fri Aug 23, 2013 5:19 pm

I've seen us play Man City at home 3 times and we have never been beaten
1967 Drew with them in the FA Cup
1983 Beat them 2-1
1994 Beat them 1-0 in the FA Cup

I didn't go to the game we lost in 1984, so that doesn't count :lol:

See no reason why it should't continue.

As long as we don't show them as much respect as we did against West Ham, and I don't think we'll make that mistake, I can see us getting a point

Re: IS THERE ANYBODY?

Fri Aug 23, 2013 5:19 pm

I'm scared they are going to rip us a new one, watched them Monday and they were awesome.
Not expecting to win this one, just hope we don't get hammered and suffer a loss of any confidence and belief that we need to compete later on. :old:

Re: IS THERE ANYBODY?

Fri Aug 23, 2013 5:20 pm

I remember the Sunderland Man City game last season, Man City battered them all game, then Dim Wong scored the winner in the 89th min.

Dont see why we cant do the same with a lot of luck to. :thumbup:

Remember that too Nobby, I just hope weds create an atmosphere on Sunday and get behind the team :ayatollah:

Predicting a hammering but this would be the biggest scalp that I would have witnessed.

I have written about belief in tomorrow's column Gwyn.

Our players have earned the right to have a crack at the Premier League, now they must believe in themselves.
