Septic Peg Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Happy Boxing Day. Boxing Day traditionally consisted of those larger presents and items that were boxed being presented the day after Christmas. Nowadays it means cold leftover Turkey with pickled onions, a headache and Boxing Day football. Side note: when is a suitable time to take down the pissing tree? Mr Peg looked at me in sheer disgust when I suggested putting our fake Fir back in the box this morning. Christmas is over right? Also Gavin and Stacey. You bastards. Still not over that cliffhanger. Back to football after my digression... Now usually City always drop a bollock and slump after Christmas. No one really knows why. It's tradition. But with our form being poor for the last few games on the trot, are we changing the times? Is our post Xmas downfall becoming a pre-Xmas flop? Will the tide turn today? Now Christmas is officially 364 days away, will it be a case of same shit, different day or will we actually buzz from the joys of pigs in blankets and a rummage through the Quality Street tin? Truthfully, my first thought suggests we will probably lose. Again. Happy Christmas. But a little part of me still hurts with the hope that we may not. As a fellow City fan once said: "We are used to disappointment. We can deal with disappointment. It's the hope that hurts and the hope that kills us." And sweet baby Jesus, the hope stings like a wasp on a jam sarnie. Naturally, Charlton have a worse sick bay than us right now and have drawn 4 and lost 7 of their most recent games. So it's obvious in the spirit of giving, we hand them 3 points. 2-1 Charlton. I'm off to stick my head in my Wilkins rough cider. Shout me when it's NYE. COYRS.

Guest Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Hoping LJ brings back Nagy and Massengo for this one. If he goes 352 then play Eliasson central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 After the last 3 games, I really don't know where our inspiration is going to come from. Clearly we can't keep a clean sheet, clearly we can't create opportunities and clearly we don't serm to have anyone who can shoot. We simply don't look dangerous going forward and our midfield has more reverse gears than a French tank. I think this is a game that we really have to go for, with an attacking formation, a bit of movement up front and getting more bodie in the box. 3 points needed. Draws are no use to us now.

Offside Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 We’re going to have to play a whole lot better than we have been recently to avoid another defeat. Charlton’s one of my favourite away trips so I’m disappointed not to be there today - unless of course we play badly and lose, in which case I’ll be glad I didn’t make the trip. For what it’s worth, I reckon today’s match will be an uninspiring draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Hello all, hope you had a very good Christmas Day with plenty of good cheer. Today I think could go either way, hopefully it will be City who come away with all three points, but with our form lately who knows. Still. let's be hopeful and cheer them on, so Come On You Red's/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
