pride of the west Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Get willem II over here aint it. Will be a great atmosphere in friendly game terms. Either them or the gas. No scrap the gas.

apathy Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I guess you could of said that about the Ajax game aswell, tbh Porto arnt the team they once were and i think we'd give them a decent game! Porto the Europa league winners? Not so sure myself. They have the up and coming manager Andre Villas-Boas. He will be in prem in next couple of years. Good read on him here http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_6939602,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Porto would undoubtedly be a good friendly- won more CL/EC than Arsenal and Chelsea combined! Would we give them a good game? Really? Seen some of their Europa resulkts this year- Porto 5 v Villareal 1, won 5-2 in Moscow v Spartak (Moscow certainlyb not an easy trip), as well as Villa-Boas they also have Portugual and South American internationals. Full strength Porto and we may well get hammered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 why are people moaning about friendlys ffs, Friendlys are only for getting match fit we should only play 6 maybe 7 and only 1 at home 5 to local sides and one away in another country for team blending, The one home game should be against a biggish team say the Everton's of this world, We don't want another pre-season like last year when we played to many games in sweden in a short space of time and picked up injurys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porto Red Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Porto are most certainly good Prem material despite the uncompetitive domestic league. Against their first XI we'd be chasing shadows. The second string may well be a more useful workout for the likes of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Since some Prem teams arrange a small tournament for pre season , City could do the same. 1. The red & white tourno featuring City, Aberdeen, Wrexham and Cliftonville or 2. The English compass cup with City, Pompey, Norwich & Carlisle.

Very much so, can't see why people would think it'd be a close run thing vs a side containing Portugese and South American internationals tbh- assuming 1st XI.

grifty Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Decent friendlies are always a good laugh. Everyone remembers the Mallorca game where they were 6-0 up and were taking the whizz! Then Miller and Peacock got a couple back and we all sang "you're not singing anymore" to an empty east end. Leeds when they had Smith, Viduka, Batty, Woodgate, Robinson et al. Liverpool when Michael Owen scored his first goal for the first team, as did Mickey Bell and he hit the bar too IIRC. Portsmouth, but that was Tinmans testimonial.

Yeah, ones I remember- Leeds, Mallorca, Ajax- except for the results in case of the last 2, they were all enjoyable enough. Don't remember the Liverpool or Portsmouth ones though, guessing they were before sometime in the last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Liverpool was around 97. One of the first games I remember going to as a 6 or 7 year old. My family are from Liverpool so it was a must see match for us. I remember crying because City didn't win, but Micheal Owen became my "hero" that day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
