I wonder if the Goat will sling his boots on for 20 minutes.

Unless I've missed something, team one have no goalkeepers whilst team two have two?

That's because he's using his Mancini asphyxiwank scarf to tuck his other chin away. The black jacket is slimming too, though the camera does put ten pounds back on.

All in all, a complex equation.

You have, Dibble is in team one.

Unless that was the joke.

[blues-clues]

Some good names in there, a fitting tribute.

Ref the pictures above. Looks like someone fed the goat!

[Citizen of Oslo]

Sounds lika a great day out.

[Blue Blood]

Is it wrong to be very excited about seeing Kevin Horlock in a city shirt again??

Better not be...

£5 a bargain to see them teams. Blast from past.

[bluej]

That's a great looking event, think I'll make an appearance to that.

He might be this guy - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Milligan_(footballer)

I've never heard of him either.

[King Kev]

Yeah, I saw that but he never played for City so I assumed I had the wrong guy.
