You probably won't hear about this anywhere else but, while Man Utd were losing 1-0 at mighty Burnley last night, City (without Robinho and Adebayor) were beating Barcelona at the Neu Camp in front of 94,000 fans. Although it was only a friendly, there was a trophy involved. The same event two years back saw Barcelona thrash Bayern Munich 5-0 apparently. The wind of change is beginning to blow across Manchester...

Karlos The Jackal

Must admit I saw the highlights of the Burnley game and had to laugh! The Scummers managed to miss a penalty and Robbie Blakes goal was superb!

Thing is...............we played Burnley in a pre-season three weeks ago, they had a full strength squad out and Leeds won and played them off the park!

No doubt Fergie will blame the grass being too long, crowd was too noisy, wrong colour shirts or an arduous long trip by coach to Turf Moor after this latest setback!

He can always go out and buy another defender, striker and keeper and plunge the red shite deeper into debt.............here's hoping!

MOT !!!

Sandboy

you're clutching at straws there mind Karlos

BangleMan

nothing wrong with claret & blue Karlos.....must say, Burnley's retro kit looks the bollox

pauldxb

agreed ! Do you think we will sign that Chamkah guy ?

BangleMan

is this the same Man City that were going to do well last season ?

Your mob are like the new Spurs.....'we'll be a top four team this season....'....yawn, yawn, yawn

BangleMan

i dont like the look of him, looks a bit shifty !....Still, we need someone badly up front to partner England's (lol) Carlton Cole

Inselaffen

Piss poor performance by the Champions.

Carrick has become a liability!!

BangleMan

Rubbish, he's the best midfielder you have.....

Unless im getting confused with the 47 yrd old Giggs, who you have never had a good word to say about, or Anderson, the attacking midfielder who never scores (?), or the little ginger geezer, who is way past it, or the back flippin' Nani or perhaps the multi tasking defender, O'Shea ???

Anyway, its serves you lot right, for cashing in on your best player, and being too fcking tight not to stump up the cash for your best forward Tevez, and keeping hold of that lazy Bulgarian twat Berbatov instead

Inselaffen

you obviously havnt watched the last few games of last season and last night's game. Carrick seems to have lost it. No doubt he is a great player when on for but he hast been on form for a while.

Fergie's love child has been our best midfielder recently but wasnt playing last night. Park was utter shite and Anderson wasnt much better. Fergie thought it was going to be easy and got the team wrong.

still think we'll see another forward arrive before the transfer deadline.

and yes the Burnley kit is a lot better than the hammers retro 80's kit

service crew

The mighty Burnley beating the Scum can it get any better?

The Dean

Barcelona Reserves' Second XI?

Shadya

No more than Man City's, but Ibrahamovic and Messi evidently played. I doubt that Barcelona would put out their reserves in front of 94,000 supporters.

The Dean

Other way round.............. Barca's fans are so passionate that 94,000 of them WOULD go and watch their reserves.

Bob

bit late I know now...but there's a bunch of folk on different time zones that might have recorded the game for later viewing, so it's one thing discussing the score in the thread, but don't put spoilers in the title which are harder for people to avoid if they were trying.
