I can certainly vouch for Chicago , a more dyed in the wool blue you could ever meet . His old man played for City , his grandma lived at the back of Platt lane, he even took me to my first game , beat Newcastle 4 -0 if I remember rightfully for which I’m eternally grateful . He maybe more Yank than Manc now but the fella bleeds blue

It's hard to say I'm sorry.
 
There are some great tweets from the various supporters clubs at the friendlies. Looks like the players enjoyed themselves there too. Bet the atmosphere was good, everyone looked as though they enjoyed themselves. Loves seeing all the banners from the supporters clubs draped over the railings. There has clearly been a huge growth in fan numbers.

I put a fiver on City to win (correct score of 2:1) got a message this morning from Corals, money refunded as it was not a 'proper game' of 2 x 45 mins.

I was quite pleased about that.

Then I remembered - I bet there were some City fans/betting people who had money on 1:0 and I suppose they are not so chuffed today.

Sorry - I'm new here, am I allowed to quote myself to save time? Hope so.

It occurred to me this morning - because of what I describe above, is Haaland's goal actually his first official goal for City, or will it not go into the record books due to it being a weather effected match? Just curious.

After some plane fuck-ups, I once took the Amtrak from LA to N'Awlins - scheduled as 48hrs, but arrived 5hrs late...
Passengers very much come second to freight on US railways, so some lengthy standstills.

It was a friendly so wouldn’t be ‘official’ even if they played 90 mins
 
Was sceptical about the pre-season trip to US as the best preparation for opening day but it looks like from the broader perspective it was a great success. The club has clearly gone up a level over there and this can only help.

At the risk of overgeneralising, my experience of Americans sports fans is they're enthusiastic and knowledgeable and though they can moan like fuck if you get them on the wrong subject at the wrong time they are a pretty loyal bunch who do can do dark humour/entertain themselves when its all a bit crap, which admittedly probably isn't going to be a short term problem for recent City converts. Be interesting to see if/how the increased profile and fan base affects the apparently slightly odd situation/relationship with the NYCFC fan base.

We are a global club now and there is no going back so we should embrace our overseas fans and from a distance the US fans look like a good addition to the fanbase.

Oh right, I didn't realise. So in a similar vein can I tell my Manchester United friends to shut up about winning the Bangkok Century Cup recently, because they keep going on and on about it.

yes preseason is all about fitness, so any made up cups are irrelevant. I feel the same about the charity shield

But but but what about the opening of Pandoras box at the Dippers.
Will Nunez 4 goal haul not be recognised now as well?

Watched NYCFC a couple of weeks back on sky and thought, what is going on with their fan base, there was hardly anyone there and they are the defending champions. What has happened.
