Shady said that there will be links on the matchday part of the forum so check there on the day of the game mate.

Just checked espns schedule and the game against New York Bulls is not on. It is 15:00 kick off in america which would make it 20:00 here and on the schedule its Live twenty20 cricket from 19:00 until 22:00 so looks like we will only get highlights at best

Manchester City releases roster for Portland visit



PORTLAND, Ore. – English Premier League club Manchester City today unveiled their 31-man roster traveling to Portland, where they will face the Portland Timbers in an exhibition match Saturday at the University of Portland’s Merlo Field as part of a preseason tour of the United States; kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

Under the direction of manager Roberto Mancini, Manchester City’s travel squad includes three players who competed in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, including England’s Shaun Wright-Phillips as well as defender Kolo Toure and midfielder Yaya Toure of the Ivory Coast National Team.

Manchester City’s roster is also highlighted by Wales National Team forward Craig Bellamy, Togo National Team striker Emmanuel Adebayor, goalkeeper and Republic of Ireland National Team member Shay Given, England National Team defender Wayne Bridge, former French National Team captain and 1998 World Cup champion Patrick Vieira and midfielder Adam Johnson, who was a member of England’s provisional squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Manchester City begins its preseason tour of the United States with a nine-day training camp in Portland and makes its only appearance on the West Coast in the exhibition against the Timbers.

Founded in 1880, Manchester City is one of the most historic clubs in England. Among the club’s many accomplishments, Manchester City is the winner of nine league championships, including two titles in England’s top flight, and has won the prestigious FA Cup four times. Manchester City finished the 2009-10 Premier League season in fifth place and earned a berth into the 2010-11 UEFA Europa League, formerly known as the UEFA Cup.

Nice factual reporting there :0)

Ah, my contact got 0 of 3 mentioned names correct. Interesting. Know to ignore him in future now then lol

 

[Bigga]

Is he a big target man type forward or more your nippy fella?

According to our local paper he decided to come on our austrian pre season tour instead of your states one, sounds keen to me. Also been said we might be getting someone else from you too. Hopefully will have the same impact that danny ward had for us from bolton last year.

Matey, he's not a big target and he's not super nippy. He's a not-out-of-the-ordinary looking striker, but he's got a very good eye for goal. He CAN be greedy, but that's what you're looking for as he'll get more confident for you and benefit your table position.

He may change tact at yours to round his game out, but look for him to shoot if he can.

Good player.

To the person who asked, Cincinnati Blue was down at the Campus yesterday and apparently he was told not to try to talk or interact with the players. They did tell him however that there would be a chance for folks to get autographs and all that on Thursday at 4:30.

Now, all that's left is to hope I can get a photo with the man himself Mancini. Need to make sure to bring the baby in her City kit as extra leverage...
