A friend of mine was reading out odds from some sports books on sunday (but they may have changed since then), and they have city not only beating villa but maybe making the championship game.
Chelsea is favored to win it Liverpool second City (?!?!) only slightly behind them.
I don't see them making past villa or bolton/hammers next week but it would be interesting for sure.
City was looking at the intertoto cup. haha maybe they won't have to?? :P
I certainly don't fancy their chances of getting past the next round, even if they win tonight... Bolton look on good form, they destroyed us at the weekend, and if it ain't Bolton, well, the mighty Hammers will kick some blue butt... (I hope)...

City fans don't fancy our chances and you all are doing the same thing.
Self depreciating supporters are great!!!
Hahaha

Dunno if you were taking the pish but last time I looked at it they were better than I'd put them at if I were a bookmaker considering he said it was rubbish and would be interested in a spot on the coaching staff not the manager. Maybe he's bluffing us all

He came as close is possible to actually saying yes though, didn't he?

Aye that he did. everyone knows they're going to talk to him, curbishley (which they have) and allerdyce, so why be so cagey about it.
thing that gets me is that he's being tipped for the job after 41 games in charge. shows the lack of good English managers about, wheres jim smith in the reckoning?

He's not qualified. I know City said they'd give him time off for an assistant position, but they will be none too chuffed if he leaves for this.
But he has made a big deal about having no written contract lately.. hrm..

With Ferdinand in midfield again?? Er......!
Guy at work here is a Hammers nut, reckons Pardue was suckering BFC in with his tactics on Sat ready for a sucker punch tomorrow!
Yes, that sounded crap when he told me too!
Apparently your reserves lost 2-0 last night and thats also a good sign!

I think if we had won on Sat, we'd have stood less of chance in the replay - don't forget we're at home, under floodlights, midweek and we usually play pretty weel in those circumstances... I don't think Pard's exactly set up it for the suckerpunch, but I think this might be our best bet to win the game - put the pressure on them to perform as well as at the weekend...

Damnit. Just glad I'm not in the pub yet. Stupid Villa. :\ohwell: And BBC website says we have 4 subs?
Unluck to the Villa! Who was it who predicted Samaras would score and City would win 3-0? Whoever it was could you also predict that West Ham will twat Bolton tomorrow? Ta!
