And if we played them in the charity shield they'd still win fuck allI think you're getting the wrong end of the stick. A club doesn't have to win either the PL or the FA Cup to play in the Charity Shield.
If City had won both the PL and the FA Cup then they would play the rags as runners up in the PL.
And as we all know, the rags won sweet fa this year.
Spot on. It's bad enough playing the bloody semi's at Wembley without getting fleeced for a glorified friendly(unless you're a rag,then it's a title) In the words of that old guy in Early doors..'I'm stopping at home!'.I’m always keen to embrace the big occasion, but can never get worked up for these enough to go, save for the one at Villa Park.
I guess it’s a chance for some people with low points etc..to get to Wembley and see City, though.
With the number of players likely to be on extended World Cup leave this could be a very pricey U-21 game. I've been to the three recent CS games but it's an extra expense that I can do without at the moment.
I seem to remember they won the Etihad Trophy a few weeks ago , according to Redcafe..................b*stards..And if we played them in the charity shield they'd still win fuck all
Nonsense fixture. My son wants to go but my opinion is still never again until they move it away from Wembley. Even the 2-3 last minute loss to the Rags was about as meh as you could get. In fact, they may as well give us 25% of the allocation and the rest to Chelsea.
