I know it isn't in the spirit of the thread, but I think he's a lovely player. I can't begin to imagine how good he's going to be when he "grows up." I think Foden is also pretty wonderful, but I'm scratching my head a bit at Citeh letting Palmer go, as if they couldn't accommodate both of them.

Totally agree mate, he’s top drawer, which is exactly why Southgate won’t utilise him in the summer.

Pep isn't getting enough stick for essentially swapping Palmer for Nunes, especially as Palmer had already shown that he had the temperament to be a difference maker in the Charity Shield.
Then you consider that Cityzens™ (wankers) often seem to struggle to meet their 8 homegrown player quota, and it looks like one of the silliest decisions in recent memory.

I'd go unchanged but for up front this weekend: Colwill up top - he's done well for us in the past.

Individually all are reasonable but together make it less likely.
West Ham Luton- Luton win or draw evens
Forest Chelsea Chelsea win evens
Luton Fulham Luton win evens
Burnley Forest Burnley win 6/4
Taking into account Luton could win either and draw the other I reckon about 12-1 for Luton to finish above us, so unlikely.
However my concern is it only takes 1 result to swing it against us, not a run against what has gone before. Like cup football upsets can happen.
bottom line is that our odds to go down (8-1) are the highest they have been all season and the other teams would swap places in a heartbeat.

You're right of course, but my point was that our GD is not something Luton or Burnley are going to overhaul so it isn't something we should worry about
Luton overtaking us on points is something we (or rather the team) should worry about but there are two things that need to happen over the next two games to send us down; Luton get four points and we get none
And I think it's very unlikely both of those things happen, personally
Get yourself to Fiskardo, especially at night,it's a beautiful village.

Really not sure what to think of this game right now.
Chelsea demolished West Ham in their last game, mostly because they were given so much space around the West Ham box whenever they broke through. If we do the same as against Sheffield United first half, Cole Palmer ( and others ) will think Christmas has come early.
On the other side the Chelsea defense can be beaten as WH showed so chances should be there for us.
Another Man City performance will be required for this one with an all round tight performance.
I hope by the time the game starts the not so fantastic WH will have taken another 3 points and we can all relax, play the game without any fear and take Chelsea to the cleaners with a resounding 2-1 win, sending all the PSR stuff into history and start focusing on the next and much better PL season without such diversions.

Expect the phrase "Unless Forest lose ten nil" to be uttered frequently and with willful glee and optimism.

Could see yet another 2-3, but optimistically a 1-1, with Luton and Burnley only drawing at best.
Just win please.
I don't care how you do it, but if you can make it a nice comfortable last 45 minutes I'd be eternally grateful.
Otherwise, I don't really care about the performance as long as you win.

I hope for a win or a draw.
More so I hope Luton and Burnley lose, because this season it just seems like we are not the ones controlling our own destiny but rather others controlling it.

Tony Harrington on the pitch, John Brooks watching many miles away. They couldn't even give us one of our pantomime villains for our last home game!
Rob Jones is var for the WH-Luton game.

I expect Luton to win on penalties awarded by Jones the VAR.

Sutton has a down for a 1-1 draw - interesting side fact his celebrity predictor this weeks is Serge Pizzorno the Kassabian singer who was apparently on our books as a youngster from 10-13.
Pizzorno wants a 1-0 win as he wants us to play his beloved Leicester next season

Home win. Peace be upon us.

I knew Serge was on someone's books as a kid but didn't realise it was ours.

I read or heard somewhere that he used to put his Leicester socks underneath his Forest socks when he played. Don't know whether it's true or not (either he actually did or just said he did).
