I'll be out of the country for it I'm afraid. I'm back on December 11th, so I'll have to wait until next season I guess.

I thought we'd messed it up yesterday for a while but it worked out ok in the end smile
What's going wrong with our defence this season?

With a lot of help from the referee - any minor infringement by us was penalised whereas Toure was allowed to literally throw our players to the ground without sanction.

Anyway, shows how far we have come when I am disappointed that we narrowly lost at the Etihad to the reigning champions.

Didn't look that way to me, and there was me saying that there's no bad views smile

MOTD highlighted what's wrong - opposition midfield and attackers are not being closed down quickly enough, if at all. Bony and I think it was Montero were getting the ball into their feet time and again and laying it off again under no pressure.

I'm thinking of going the Etihad Tuesday to watch Bayern Munich. Obviously have to sit on with your lot wink
Hows the view in 118 South Stand? £40 isn't bad.
Also going tomorrow night, taking my son who's a huge Bayern fan. He'll be the small boy in the South Stand being told to keep bloody quiet by his dad laugh

What's the parking like around the ground by the way? Would like to make a reasonably quick exit to get back to Leicester as it's a 'school night'.

There's loads of parking around the ground - mostly on industrial ground nearby. Much of it is on Croft Street. As you get nearer, you'll see loads of people in hi-vis coats trying to usher you in. Assuming you will be coming from the Aston-u-Lyne exit (J23) of the M60 and heading west down Ashton New Road (A662), the road will be mostly straight. It bends to the left and you will see a large Asda ahead on the right. Try to get in somewhere on the left after the bend. Whatever you do, don't go past Asda and over the crossroad with Alan Turing Way (A6010) - often the police shut the crossroad after the match.

Sergio looked, understandably, nervous before the penalty. That always makes me worried, but he put it away very nicely smile


At the moment I regret being a bit of a lightweight smile

I admit I didn't expect it to go this way after they went down to ten.

Always expect the unexpected with City.....biggrin

This game could go either way, but we should at least equalise with them being a man down.

Once again, City's defence badly exposed......it's not good enough.

Feel for you buddy and I was really hoping for the best for you when the penalty went in.

How can you still have empty seats for a game like this?
