City v Chelsea

[Spurge]

How many times will we have beaten Chelsea this season?

Community shield, twice in the US, both times in the league, twice in the FA (or was it once?)...

anyone else think Razak looked good tonight?

Razak - a mixed bag some good some not so good.

Nasri showed that if he has some space to play in he can really hurt teams. Will be interesting to see how we set up next season and whether Nasri becomes the player he was at the Arse.

Gotta love Bruce Buffer....oh wait the match is over

[Green & Blue]

As far as friendlys go they were both very good to watch.Great advertisement for the club in the States.The club will be delighted with the tour, could not have gone better after the announcement of Nycfc.

Razak is a useful player but does lose the ball at times when he can't afford to and on the ball isn't creative at all,just moves it to someone who can play.We have a plenty who can do that already a lot better.

How in the hell do we beat them twice in the FA Cup?

Disregard my stupidity.

I like everything about James Milner. It's great how he's still grafting his bollocks off in what is essentially a meaningless friendly. I bet it's in the back of his mind that most of the people in the crowd are big fans of PL footy, will never get to see it in person and have looked forward to this game for months. He strikes me as that sort of guy.

James Milner is an absolute legend. We gave him a shout when he came out early at halftime to warm up trying to get him to come over. Said he'd stop by after the match and he came straight to me and gave me the t shirt off his back. My next shirt will definitely have Milner 7 on the back. Tonight was incredible.

Also we spent most of halftime and the entire second half taking the piss out of Richard Wright. It was a blast.

[Saul Goodman]

That's awesome. I love Milner.

Where were you sitting?

[BoneyStarks]

Was at the match today amongst the DC contingent. Great to see the boys. Next time it will be across the pond!

[john@staustell]

It all seems jolly sedate fun but I bet the fact that City won twice could be quite significant and influential over there. As far as fanbase goes.

[Green & Blue]

City playing the Us national team wednesday night.

[Cit.revenge]

So we won again and again plenty goals .

It seems to me a lot of people here are taking these games quite seriously. Honest question: why? I'm thinking I must've underestimated their importance.

I suppose it is important so the American fans become interested and on-board with the whole project and Man City.

Always happy to beat the chavs as well though.

Where were you sitting?

Front row behind the goal we scored twice in during the first half. Apparently sitting with boney as well, because I was with the DC supporters group

[kinkylola]

personally .. yes I know that these are just friendlies. Do I think they are important? not in any competitive sense ... but I'm really interested in seeing how players react on the field after the departure of Mancini. I'm also really interested to see youngsters playing, which we didn't really have the chance to see a lot of under Mancini either.

it's the dawning of a new era, right at the beginning of it all ... a post season preseason friendly. That coupled with the NYCFC announcement just means that there is a shit ton going on with City right now, leading up to what could be an intense transfer window. Exciting times.

[ant london]

Friendlies, exhibition matches, training run-outs...I don't care if they are "meaningless" in a competitive sense. We should be aiming to win every game in every circumstance...winning is a habit we shouldn't get "out of"

I bet Chelsea are not completely ambivalent about having lost both games...sure not the end of the world but better to have won than lost

Agreed. I have nothing but good things to say about him. Top player, top professional. Would love the whole squad to have his attitude (apart from Zaba who already does)

It's imortant to put on a show imo.

The games were like Ice hockey played with a football, but we entertained the public & it's good for the club. I recon we know what the scum are up to & they are going to play dirty, trying to use UEFA etc against us, but we are way ahead of them & the Sheikh is going to fuck those rag cunts up in a big way in the future. This is the bottom rung of the ladder toward the goal of kicking them permanently off their perch, in the land of their owners.

what was the score both chelsea games? i've been on holiday.
