Manchester City FC Thread - Champions of England, Europe & The World

[moomba]

Second leg of the youth cup semi on tonight, should be streams about. 3-0 up on the first leg. Well worth a look to see some of the promising kids we have coming through.

 

[moomba]

Through to the final with a 1-2 win at the KingPower Stadium. First final since 2008 or 2009. That team had the likes of Sturridge, Trippier, Mee, Dedryk, Weiss in it who have all played/are all playing top flight football.

The City Way.

High defensive line.

where is 'throw away title after winning it'

This year has been far more disappointing than last time.

 

[moomba]

National champions at U14 level. Third time in a row. So not all going bad.

Youth cup finalmfirst leg is on Monday (I think).

Angelino apparently in the squad for today (although I'd be surprised to see him on the pitch given Monday nights game).

 

[moomba]

Lost the first leg of the youth cup final. Chelsea bigger, quicker and too good for the first hour. Was 1-2 and we started to get on top. Should have scored a couple, but didnt and then got hit with a sucker punch.

Ended up 1-3.

No away goals rule so need a 2+ goal win at Stamford Bridge next week. Will be tough.

Might need to check the birth certificate of the latest recruit to your U13s side:

To be fair the kid is dyslexic and thought it was under 31's.

Playing Yaya Toure under a false name in the U 13 League is plain unfair.

 

[Magma]

looks like he eats his greens

 

[moomba]

Phil Neville's kid in that photo too (presumably not the giant).

Not named Neville Neville after his grandfather is he?

 

[moomba]

You would hope not. Unless his mother is a goddess he already has the natural disadvantage of the Neville family looks to deal with let alone a silly name.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

I have an irrational hatred of all things Spuz. I like beating them more than any other club.

I hate them.

 

[Magma]

miss this yaya like nothing else

 

[moomba]

He was immense in that last month. That game against the Geordies was the first time I thought "we might actually do this".

Who would have known what was to come a week later.

 

[Gibbsy]

What a great day that was

 

[Eddie Dingle]

I'm resigned to the fact he is gone.

Sad.

 

[Magma]

at least in the league and british cups, he continually delivered. so many crucial goals forever etched in the memories.

a shame it has had to end this way, but just like carlitos, they're always remembered fondly when they're gone.

 

[Pritchard]

Ill never forget that day, couldn't watch the game as i was driving from Dublin to Wexford and was too nervous to even check the score, got to my Mrs families house in Wexford who are a pack of rags, her uncle wouldn't even talk to me haha

 

[moomba]

Won the Premier League International Cup last night. Anglo/Euro U21 tournament, beat Porto in the final.

Kelechi scored again (get him in the first team). Were outplayed on the night but won 1-0. Also beat Schalke, Leicester, Benfica and Celtic in the tournament.

Too little too late but...

Wasn't that a joy to watch last night! It's no title but it was nice to see us put a tennis score past QPR
