You know, i can't be arsed about the result and will not blame Everton for winning this. I will also not blame them for losing. But i will blame them for not putting up a fight. We better put up a bleedin fight, not just roll over, and you shiekh-supporting meffs out there better expect the same from our lot

Nope. Soz mate.

Stroll around like the lads have been for months. And our arse handed to us at home, just like Wolves did. 3 painless points in City’s pocket to stop the lovable’s winning the League please.

Then the revival and putting a shift in can start, hopefully culminating in beating the reds at home in a month.

There are only 2 games left that matter this season- tonight’s and the home derby.

I will absolutely do my nut if these pretenders chose tonight’s game to launch their usual ‘nothing-to-play-for’, end of season revival after the bottling it and shocking performances over the past months.

I think someone should stick the central heating on in the 'i hate Everton' thread - got a feeling it will be busy come 10pm tonight...

you know what, I know were all saying about wanting us to lose ( and I really hope we do ) but if they just decide to turn up tonight for the first time in months i'll be fuming me

Silly time for a game...why on a Wednesday?

That's the thing if we were good all season and had a few scalps already I wouldnt fume if we won. Depending on our own circumstances I'd celebrate it. But to do it when we've been crap and it doesn't matter much anyway only to put the title in thier favour is too much

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Everton kin dare turn up tonight and I hope their every single pass is booed by the crowd. City three early goals, and six in the second half. Silva sacked by the time the final fan has left the stadium.

those rose tinted glasses you are a ring x 2 please

I've read that a few times but I've no idea what it means.

 

[Hickson9]

I can't make it back, what with it having been moved at such short notice.

I'm not even going to stream it. We either lose or we make Liverpool the favourites for the title.

Everton have only failed to score at home in the league once this season (vs Leicester) and Man City have only kept a clean sheet once in their last 6 away games (vs Huddersfield) so I'm going with both teams to score and Man City to win with 3+ goals. I'd love it if we could win but it's just not going to happen even though all the City players were out on the piss for Kompany's charity do on Monday night and probably missed training yesterday. It's only Everton, they don't need to prepare. They'll just need to turn up and they'll be 3 up before Everton realise what day of the week it is.

 

[Jeff Jones]

I suggest you're over-thinking this mate: we are absolute crap...unwatchably so...there's no way City don't put at least 3 past us, while we don't get a shot on target.
We are a disaster of a club.

Disaster of a team, not club.

I don’t actively ever want us to lose, but tonight I really don’t care if we do. I was critical of anyone who wanted us to lose in the reverse fixture earlier in the season at the Etihad, but with how the season has shaped up tonight is a completely different occasion.

I guess my apathy is testament to the pathetic nature of this entire season. Even if we turned up and won tonight (a moot point really) it would still be tinged with a sense of disappointment as I’d be questioning why we could turn up tonight after letting us down so much already.

I do wonder what the players think/know of the fans feelings towards this game tonight. Could it impact their performance? Or are those performance levels so low to begin with that it wouldn’t make a bit of difference?

I did not know there was some,i must have missed that,i want us to go for it tonight,i want us to win,but if we get beat by the better team so be it.

The good times will come for you

I was at that game mate. I was in the kippax next to the cage and there was a big hard looking Mohican haired Luton fan only a few yard away in their section. Next minute someone threw a dart and it stuck in his forehead. Maine road was not away fan friendly in those days, as Goodison wasn't either.

The 3 or 4 lads who got a few punches in yr stands in the league cup semi final at yr place a couple of years ago have a couple of seats next to them available. If yr interested let me know

Just realised this isn't on TV. Which is sound. But it's quite remarkable too. All that money people pay to watch sky and bt and the only way to watch is illegally. Something not quite right about that.

Anyway.... as good a excuse as any not to watch it. Not going to waste my night looking for streams to watch a game I hope my team loses. Got better things to be at.
