The Official Manchester City Thread

Did anyone see Claudio Reyna's 17 yr old kid Rio playing for Dortmund last night (heard he set one up for Alf-Ingi's kid)? Look decent? One that got away from our NYC Academy.

Dull 2v0 win. Wasteful again - Jesus! Admit to being bored 2nd half. Forgettable.

no  but the 3 that finished the game upfront were all born in England..

A walk in the park for City. I thought KDB and Mendy were particularly good.

 

Nice to see Zabaleta get a chance to say good bye.

 

Poor Kadilo! The Hammers played some defense but had close to zero intent going forward.

Set up for damage limitation which worked to a degree. 
No attacking intent. Left Haller, Lanzini, Anderson etc on bench and brought the new lad on when it was all over. 
City looked bored, the fans looked like they stayed away and those that were there looked bored apart from when Zab came on which was just about the only interesting part of the 90 minutes.

^Agreed. Highlight of the game for me was the reception for Zaba and how him coming on seemed to gee us up. A true mancunian!

Certainly made it difficult for us. The lad up front is a handful and Pat Rice had a decent game.

Interesting analogy I saw on Twitter

 

 

Pretty sure that guy is an Alty fan.

 

Anyway, this 'closed shop' line is nonsense. What it means is you are saying UEFA have fabricated the evidence.

If only Antonio could stay fit. 

Best fame Rice has had for a while but let’s face it you were in second gear and on cruise control and we were trying to not get embarrassed

A tad surprising you are not playing your youth team in these now pointless league matches.

I think he's a blue, maybe he's both.

 

Speculating again.

Move along...No corruption here

Looks like City's fans are banning themselves from the Emptyhad as well.

Saving their pennies for banners for the CL game against RM. That is going to be toxic towards UEFA

Been trying to find out the attendance. Read 43k but can't verify it. Also read WHU sold 4k tickets but only 1k travelled.

 

Nice to see you back chippy...you want to get back on ManU thread again; no point hiding cause things aren't going well.

Chatting with my brother yesterday, long-term seasonticlet holder, and he told me he's not going to Sheffield Wednesday - can't afford it, too many games these days.

Funny cos I notice lots of my United mates from back home calling it the Emptyhad and they never go to United
