They have Unal and Celina on loan from us. Not heard anything about Brahim going there.

How old have our opponents in this u23s league been so far? Anyone know about the ages of teams we haven't played yet?

I am still purring after watching that game this morning! First thing I would say is that Liverpool were not a bad side. They had a decent amount of possession and could easily have scored a goal or two and that makes it even more amazing that we battered them 7 nil.

Some of our attacking play was sublime with fast interplay , great movement , great touches and of course clinical finishing. Sancho didn't score today but was a joy to watch and well worth the admission money ( it was free but you know what I mean). His balance and ability to twist and turn every which way must give defenders nightmares. And when he went off we brought on Ian Carlo Poveda who also looked great and scored two goals.

Joe Hardy would have got my MOTM. He scored two , led the line superbly and his movement was superb. Add to that he is quick and strong and doesnt give defenders any peace at all.

Just magnificent and I can't wait for the next game.

Good on you Mr H.

Purr away to your heart's content and, in a few years' time when some of these lads are in the first team squad, we can all purr along with you.

Is she still as fit as she used to be? Or is she even alive anymore? I don't think I've seen her at all in last couple of years and with celebrities dropping like flies this year you can't be certain

Not as yet. Last season they showed highlights of the EDS and Under 18s but the latter is conspicuous by it's absence on the OS.

We're 3 matches in Doug. They're taking their own sweet time about it.

I'll not be holding my breath. The new City web site is absolute dog shit. Clicking for the extended highlights -> update account page. Just tried to watch the brief Steaua away highlights and it froze after 7 seconds, never to restart and disappeared as a clickable video when refreshed. The Stoke game did play. However it was last season's 4-0 at the Etihad, not the 1-4 that was meant to play. Add to that the sheer unfathomableness of what will appear next down the page. As I said, absolute dog shit. The club should be embarrassed to have cack like that as its window to the world.

You should have a word with the owners about it.

Sadly true about the OS. The highlights might be there but I wouldn't know where to find them.

Tons of feedback has gone to City about how crap fans are finding the new OS but I have no idea if anything will be done about it.
