Vancouver prepares for the arrival of literally hundreds of City fans
The FA Cup winner’s historic match against Club America’s was watched in front of a staggering 11,000 fans in San Francisco a few days ago.
City triumphed with goals from Edin Dzeko and Shaun Wright Phillips.
One onlooker said:”I’d never heard of Manchester City and at first was a tad disappointed it wasn’t United playing, however seeing Gary Coleman get on the scoresheet was a real bonus.”
While City were enthralling 11,000 spectators, United had to make do with a crowd of just over 50,000 in their game against New England Revolution.
A City insider said: “The fact that United could only manage 40,000 more fans for their US tour opener than we did just highlights how the tide is turning, City are not just a massive club, were now a really massive one.”
In another clever twist City have struck a deal with computer game manufacturers EA Sports which will see the club take a leading role in the game FIFA 12.
The Manchester Evening Blues took time off from writing ‘help-keep-Carlos-Tevez-in-a-city-he’s-shown nothing-but-contempt-for’ petitions to report: “The deal comes as it was revealed that City are now the eighth most played team in the world on Fifa 11, which it is claimed has been the fastest-selling sports game ever.”
A club insider gushed: “Being the eighth most played team on a computer game is yet another momentus chapter in the club’s history, ranking up their with the time we had the highest floodlights in England and Curly Watts’s support. It will also give us a realistic chance of Champions League glory.”
There was more good news for City fans with the confirmation that todays game against Vancouver will go ahead, despite reports it had been cancelled due to lack of interest.
A Vancouver spokesman said: “Carlos Tevez is overrated and Sergio Aguero will be a much better player for the Manchester City blue team, who are a massive club.”
fuck you
We’re just starting. See you in a few seasons when you’re crying like bitches with us and Liverpool above you.
Hahaha have you really got nothing else better to do ? Id concentrate on your own team if I were you.
Glad you are so interested in Manchester football.
ah man u’re just being jealous of their success you’s a bitter manc :)) nah man in all seriousness i think they will get better even with the departure of their biggest supporter carlito tevez and definitely will be in the champ league final beating us yo just wait and watch
LS lowry,noel and liam, ricky the hitman,fred flintoff,joson mansford,doves,
10year old etihad stadium!
the coolest club on the planet, without a doubt!
you fake plastic hypocrites!
you forgot curly watts pal
Wow, obsessed much?! You know what I find very sad as well as slightly embarrassing, is when someone who thinks they’re funny posts their “comedy” online to show the rest of the world just how much of a dullard and how painfully un-funny they are, I bet you’re one of these clowns who put ‘LOL’ at the end of their text when they’re are trying to be witty as if that makes it so! pathetic really! Keep those blinkers on sunshine, you look fabulous in them, and oh by the way, little error in your post, it was Ryan McGiven who scored, not Dzeko, not a biggy but it always adds weight to your comments when you at least get the little details right.
I’m a 55 year old red with blues and reds in my family and instead of celebrating 19 too many of us are more engrossed in what City are doing than in our own team. Let them grow and let us continue to win – it will be good for the city and will create the biggest inter-city rivalry in football. Maybe my age is showing here but when I was a lad there was very little animosity like this, only spirited rivalry. What the Berties and Sheikhs are doing for the Beswick area puts anything our own owners have done at local level to shame so lessons can be learned on both sides. Enough of the juvenile sniping though, I beg.
You forgot to mention how City have the biggest council house in the world LOL
Oh and the 400 million sponsorship deal and the best training complex in the world. Stadium expansion next.
While you are laughing at our crowds you should check out your own attendances just before you happened to be the best club when Sky TV world coverage, the prem and champs league money came rolling in and you will find they were tha same as ours, it won’t take us the 20 years its taken you to build that support.
But seriously you must be bricking yourself now that City have the money to compete on a level playing field with your Sky money.
Motty, just a quick one – Ryan McGivern and SWrongP were the goalscorers.
