Not done bad in the first 10 minutes, keeping to Pep's controlling style.

I'm starting to dislike Sancho the more I hear about the bellend, the media here have you believe he's England's saviour. The hype must have got to his head, he struggled against city's kids nevermind reserve team.

I really really really really hope he doesnt make it and disappear into the abyss.

Never really heard of him until is dispute over guaranteed playing time and not really seen anything from him. If he makes it then fair enough and the only thing I will say is that he brought some money into the club when he finally went.

We don't need those sort of players, even if they are good quality.

Do you actually get anything right before you post your drivel, you Dortmund supporting TIT !

oh, shoot. you're right. he did treat it like a cup final and how dirty of him to try during the match!

is there any sort of intellect in your posts or is it all just alcohol-fueled, lower class idiocy?
i usually excuse your pathetic rambling in match threads as everyone is in the heat of the moment during the matches but its quite pathetic that that is actually how you think & act on a normal basis.

I don't really agree, but I hear you.

If you watched the game you heard the crowd, "ooh" and "ahh" when there was good play. There are some quality players or those with potential out there who want to make a good showing to help themselves.

Several "big clubs" are touring as part of this event as they do every summer. Arsenal and other clubs travelled even farther away to participate (Australia, Asia).

Also, playing these bigger clubs, even their reserves side, helps managers better assess players (young, fringe, new) rather than against some local League 1 club away when our players will be miles ahead in talent or even potential and will likely be less motivated to play against such a side in a friendly. These games are broadcast internationally so players get more exposure as well and want to show off a bit.

These tours also generate revenue from the promoters that is also key.

I think you are confusing me with city64 .
You are quite rightly labelled the Dortmund supporting village clown on this site - you are the little piece of paper that comes out of a fucking Christmas cracker that we all have a giggle at.

I think you missed the point, if Sancho makes it, the media will have a field day, they'll bang on how city don't promote youth and they're better off plying their trade elsewhere. According to them he did the right thing leaving and others at city should follow suit to progress. Sancho has talent but dont think he has the temperament to be a top tier footballer. You cant compare Dortmund to city, they're a mid table club with less pressure to win silverware, for this, their emphasis is focused more on developing youth seeing as they cant compete in the transfer market with the big boys.

Heard nothing about the rags game which must mean they didnt do well. I expected the PR machine to be telling us they were magnificent in beating a top US side. As they were abysmal and booed off the park we hear nothing at all.
