Eddit: I re-read it. I can co to sleep now, good now folks

[Ted Hughes]

I want to go to this but it's getting less likely everytime I answer the fucking phone & yet another cunt finds something else I'm supposed to do.

[john@staustell]

Good.

Got a long weekend so now got something to accompany the 2 bottles of vino tinto lying on my sideboard.

[Sister of fu]

The proceeds for this game will go to Stephens charity the young lad with terminal cancer. Our club is great.

Can't you get someone else to answer the phone for you? what in the actual fuck do you do for a living, goofball?

Can't get over for the game tonight but will be watching on Sky. Hope there's a good attendance, both for the support for the boys and the good cause.

[ruralblue]

just popped it on. City a goal down after twenty five minutes. Am a tad lost as the kids don't have names on the back of shirts just squad numbers, recognise one or two only.

[Jon London]

It's a pretty good game. City should be at least level. No names on back ridiculous and just checked the OS and the team not shown. That mission citiyzen lad needs to sort out that out. I have just assigned him his first task. City's number 10 is vey useful.

Oh by the way one of the Chelsea coaches looks the mirror image of Karl Pilkington.

[Ted Hughes]

Not sure of exact Nos but City team is:

Lawlor gk

Drury rb 2
Leigh lb 3
Facey rcb 4
Plumber lcb 5
Glendon deep mid 6
Bytqui (sp) left side 11
Lopes rt side 7?
Ncham c mid 10
Fofana c mid 8
Hiwula cf 9

Sky sports is like listening to Chelsea TV ffs

[twosips]

Based on what I've seen so far none of this bunch are anywhere near the first team. They still all look and play like kids. Obviously there's talent there but there are some really poor decisions being made across the pitch. Lopes does genuinely seem the most composed and least 'rabbit in the headlights' when he gets the ball but he's still got a while to go. Fofana and Ntcham both have power and pace in abundance but don't have the nuance to their game yet. They're leggy and energetic but there isn't that swagger to their game that you see from yaya/silva or even the composure you get from someone like Barry.

The defence is just a shambles too. Having said all this there is possibly a couple who would develop very well if they were integrated into a higher level and trained with the first team. It could help them develop into good squad players.

[dick dastardley]

Were shite at going forward!!

[Dameerto]

I've noticed one or two of them doing a 'Kompany turn'.

[dick dastardley]

Fofana looks a good prospect goal 1-1

[dick dastardley]

Lopes been pretty. Poor seeing as tho he's the main city player

[ruralblue]

The young lad fofana (?) Looks decent kids with potential but the one I was watching out for, lopes doesn't look no where near breaking through into a regular first team player squad player to be totally honest. Not sure of the name but one of the young centre backs looks composed for his age.

Come on Little City!

[Dubciteh]

What happened jack Byrne, Ted was raving about him a few months ago and there is big hope for him over here.

[ruralblue]

Oh bugger. Never mind! Out on pens but went to the sudden death.
