Not sure why Ederson isn't playing. He hasn't played a game all summer he needs match practice.

Bravo is number one it seems.......




(Joking by the way! )

Great to see Foden play. Got a feeling he’ll have a blinder. Mendy playing is great. Can’t wait now!

Yep, agreed. Ridiculous, IMO.

Isn't that basically their full strength team apart from Courtois and Hazard?

Kante too but yeah guess so, maybe arguments for Christiansen and Willian as well. Think they are lacking quite a bit of quality, especially in attacking areas which is highlighted with Hazard's absence.

Don't think they should challenge us for the title this season.

I have been here only a few years now and am already tired of the weather, both summer (consistently 26+ for months, with mostly only thunderstorms as breaks) and winter (snow storms, ice, etc.).

I run hot, so heat is difficult for me, but the cold here is a bit more than even I like. And dealing with the snow (even when you aren’t the one removing it) is crazy here at times, especially with parking on the street and the plowing services. Since I have been here I have already had to repair damages on my car from a snow plow driver nicking the front bumper during a storm (they never identified the driver and the city wouldn’t pay for the repairs, so it was a claim on my insurance... such a joy). I am sure you have similar stories.

Truth be told, I always liked the summers in Manchester and winters in Zaragoza, where I spent most of my life up till now.

That said, both paces are getting warmer (as is nearly everywhere else), so perhaps we should just move to Switzerland, as the missus wants, since it’ll be a time before it goes the way of Bermuda. ;-)

You are aware this is a football forum ie a Man. City one to be precise. And this thread is about the upcoming Charity Shield game vs Chelsea?

Weather channel is a different thread.

Much stronger 11 than I expected, happy with that.

Strong team today. Looks like Pep has picked what I think will be his preferred back four. I know it’s only a friendly but I’m looking forward to this.

Zinch must be off on loan or being sold?
