City (past XI) vs City Current

[Wellsblue21]

vs

just read about an all time city 11 from a while ago on the M.E.N and wondering what the older generation think off that squad vs the current squad

 

[IcelandicBlue]

Haven't been alive long enough to see most of the old guard play but I think our current team would beat them.

 

[Mikem93]

Robinho before Young ?

 

[Chiefblue]

Robinho? Just read the MEN bit... Silly paper. Insults the rest of the team to put him there

 

[chislewick]

No Kinkladze??

 

[Any1aBlue]

NO Mick Doyle or Nelly? You're havin' a laugh. Also, can't remember Pardoe ever playing left back.
As for ROBINHO - sorry, but your credibility went straight out the window with that. Friggin' Bellamy was better than him.<br /><br />-- Fri Sep 02, 2011 6:54 am --<br /><br />

I have - and they wouldn't.

If you want world domination put the new squad under mercer and Allison .

 

[Dirty Harry]

Always going to be difficult given we have to condense quite a few players from a larger period of time into a team of eleven versus the current team, but quite a few at least are a dead cert or close to like Bell, Buzzer, Lee, Dave Watson, Mick Doyle, Lakey etc, then the likes of Francis, Anelka, the Goat, Colin Hendry, but Robinho ? This kid should be nowhere near that team.
It would have been fun to watch Mick Doyle waiting in the tunnel at half-time for an under-performing Robinho though, worth the entrance money alone I'd say.

The classic City team of Dave Ewing and ten others of any period from 1894 would be run ragged by the current crop! There might be one or two 'unfortunate injuries' to our current stars but quality will rise to the top by the final whistle.

Let's not run before we can walk, de niro. I'll settle for Greater Manchester by Christmas and England by Easter and Europe by May - sounds a little Hitlerian though!

 

[york away to this!]

the current squad would batter anyone, though you have to factor in improved fitness, improved diet, less mud, no fags at half time and the ball not weighing three stone by the end of the match.....
