Forgot he was their manager.
Didn't Supermac develop a serious booze problem ?
A very good centre forward though.
Loved up here on Tyneside...

Yeh I think he did mate yeh, still remember my late dad telling me about the semi-final in ‘74, burnley battered newcastle by all accounts? Apart from “super Mac” scoring twice :)

Great day today. One of the few occasions I get to take the Mrs and we had a great day. (no chance of her getting an ST next to me).

Great to see families enjoying the day who wouldn't normally get to go.

Absolutely delighted to win the inaugural Martin “Buster” Phillips Cup.

I wasn’t at the game but I am desperately hoping the ground was full of half and half Martin “Buster” Phillips scarves.

Wtf is wrong with people, this from the bbc hys

Ha ha. Hope we ruined those fuckers night. Sad twats.

It is great, but equally as sad really.

Four academy graduates on the scoresheet today; Max, Rico, Nico and Ryan. Yes " it was only Exeter". But a great vindication of the work being done at the various age levels in the academy.

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

How did Max play? Or was he not tested much?

I saw this comment on there, which is the complete opposite:


There are a lot of negative comments towards Man City in here. But as an Exeter fan I have a lot of respect for Pep putting out a proper side. It was a drubbing for sure and it was horrible, but I'd rather lose 10-1 to the best team in the world than lose 5-0 to an Under 21 side. Premier League clubs get loads of stick for fielding weak teams, so make up your minds!

 

[ancoats]

Not much can be said other than a very professional display by City today

 

[Vienna_70]

Quite ironic that we were 9-0 up in that game, Andy may makes it 9-1 then we make it 10, 9-0 up today they score a screamer then we make it 10 again :)

And it was 4-0 at half-time in both games.

 

[tonea2003]

massive credit to our academy, the talent we have created and nurtured is a sight to behold and absolutely the envy of the rest
i suspect the reason we were charged, we are creating a dynasty

score 10 and erling doesnt get one a quiz question for the ages

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

From today’s young Man City team, I saw more effort, desire, and passion than from many of the senior players who have featured this season. The youngsters played fast, brave, and entertaining football with real team spirit. Some senior players continue to slow the game down. Bernardo and Doku again showing too much individual play and not enough collective football.

You have to take the opposition into account mate.

At this point pretty much any academy player that comes into the team never looks out of place. They have the technical ability, understand the system etc.

Obviously the physicality and mentality will determine whether they can truly make the grade, but I'm sure given opportunities a number of them would.

Absolutely fantastic to watch a stress free game and some academy lads starting and playing well. Rodri scoring is a bonus and Semenyo too, who looked like he'd been here for years. Made up for McAidoo scoring too, nice watching him celebrate with his family.
The one downer was Haalands performance which was pretty awful. Not sure if he's carrying an injury or not but he was very poor.

 

[Aba452]

Listening to the game such a pleasure with all the Academy lads debuts and the Skipper young Rico, aided by young Nico! Dream debut for Tone Semenyo, looked like he was born to do it, well done lad.

Have to pay special tribute to Nathan Ake, not the hardest 45 he'll play, but he's always wanting to play for us, even when short of fitness and form. Others might have more skill than you Nat, but none has a bigger heart.

 

[tonea2003]

And it was 4-0 at half-time in both games.

i cant claim to be at york away but i was defo was at the original 10-1
i even remember malcolm macdonald huddersfields manager at the time giving a shellshocked interview afterwards
saying we we playing for offsides but we don't play offisides :-)

Remember where you were when City scored 10 (TEN).

This time or last time?

 

[burning blue soul]

Does anyone know if we’ve ever scored ten before?

I'm not sure. We've definitely scored three quite a few times, though.
I hope this answers your question

 

[big gaz]

No doubt the media will be lambasting us for being cruel and ruthless.

Will not be the first time :-(

 

[Lowtower]

Maybe life in the lower leagues wont be so bad after all...
