Went to the last England game that was held at the Etihad about 4 or 5 years ago, had some loud mouth cockney twat sat behind me singing Harry Kane/Jamie Vardy songs for 90 minutes, and at one stage looking round at all the flags and saying to his mate "MCFC, someone's brought a Millwall flag, but what does the C stand for?" Said I'd never go to an England game again.

I imagine this would be ten times worse.

I think I went to that. Was it not long after the Etihad opened? I think Trevor Sinclair was playing

Think it was a warm summers day and the best part of it was the session before and after in town. Got absolutely shitfaced and blagged a cheap room at the midland

England won 6-0 but best player was the lad who played at Bolton and Chelsea..lt was 2004 so City had just moved in. Main thing was taking my lad to see England but it was just novelty.

Went to a similar event - England playing lceland back in the days when England could and did beat teams like that.
The pub was full of strange looking men with hats and scarves with England/Stoke City, Northampton etc on them. Tacky souvenirs going like hot cakes by the B of the Bang and in the ground it was all high pitched squeals from boys and their mums every time Beckham went near him.
Complete waste of time and money and no doubt this match where Rooney!!! Is the big attraction will be even worse. No thanks.

Wasn't that a 3 team tournament?

Fine with me, hopefully some City alumni involved

Can't remember. I've forgotten most of it except for a feeling that the fans were very different to City fans.
Eidur Gudjohnsen was the player.

I was thinking about how bad the pitch was last season and then adding to it's use with this match. Is this wise. Have we relayed the turf?
In previous seasons our pitch has been one of the best in the league.

It’s just charitywashing
