I envy you very much CB. It has been the better part of three years since I have set foot at Eastlands. Enjoy for all us in the diaspora mate; should be a good match.

Alright, let's look at the stats because I am more of a stats man.
All time vs Fullham
17W-8D-10L
All time vs Fullham at home
11W-3L-4D (we own it here)
However, get this. Last 10 games vs Fullham
3W-4L-3D
So over the past 4 years, neither teams have dominated the other side. My prediction is that City will win by 2 goals just because our players are dying to get a win after 2 away draws.

City Blues my main man. Have fun baby!
Something to look out for...
If Richards is playing, the best part is when you yell "C'mon m-I-cah!!" and then you realize that any attempt you may have made at hiding your tourism.... has just flown out the window.:)

Get the foot-long hot dog from the concession stand -- it is so ridiculously large you'll think you are still in America.
I'd post the picture I took back in May vs. Bolton, but my screen is not wide enough! :D

Well did the stadium tour today, what a beauty it is! As an added bonus Adebayor was doing an interview pitchside with someone as we came out onto the pitch during the tour. Me and the misses got our picture with him and chatted him up a bit. Nice guy, especially for the wrap he gets. Enjoying Manchester, cheers lads.

WOW that is awesome!! Enjoy it!!
CB, if you don't mind me asking, how much is the stadium tour?
I'll be in Europe later this/next year and was definately looking at going!

For both of us it was 15 pounds so 7.50 each. Worth every penny really, even if Adebayor wasnt in the equation. Got to see press room, where the chairman sits and dines on match day, locker rooms (normally, we didnt get to see them since the kits ahd already arrived and were in the lockers) etc...

Incredibly jealous and willing to admit it. How long was the trip from the US? Gone around Arndale or Platt? I think you should get some pies and toss them randomly at anything moving in Stretford, all the while pretending to be a Liverpool supporter. Ok, so maybe that is a bad suggestion.

I couldn't convince the misses to go out to Platt unfortunately, but the tour + a match will definitely do. I will say it was a particularly long trip. We were supposed to fly Virgin Atlantic to London then hop a train to Manchester. Well out Virgin flight got cancelled due to mechnical failure and we had to stay the night at a hotel on the airlines bill. We then went to the airport the next morning and they had us routing through Munich to London that night (we had already missed our train). We finally convinced them to rebook us straight to Manchester (thank goodness). It was about 7 hours across the pond out of Newark where we connected. As for Stretford, I am tempted, LOL. I am staying in City Center, I literally havent even seen Old Trafford at all, coming into the City by train (took the train from the airport to picadilly) COMS is very prominent in the skyline, OT is no where to be seen. All the travel brochures and books in my hotel room feature City prominently and have nothing or very little of United, which I find interesting as well.

Great opportunity for the boys to move up the table and get some separation from teams below.
Spurs lost, Villa dropped 2 points, Sunderland lost. Liverpool is desperate to beat the Rags today, so I am really looking forward to the result of that game. Beat Fullham is critical today because it is expected that we win and it is the kind of game that makes or breaks a season.

Look at spurs yesterday, lol, Could've gone top, now are facing 5th. not bad all in all, but it shows How EARLY it is to really judge things.
But, imo, things are starting to shape up.
