Well looking forward to the Utd vs Liverpool game, i think we've played really well so far preseason and we've used a fair few youngsters in our games so far which has been nice to see.
Utd players will find out this week if they have a spot in the side or if they'll do an Ashley Cole and get shoved to the side
This is relating to the NYFC thread but though it should go in here instead.....Although football probably has grown slightly in America the one thing that this does show is what's really going on in the background. Two words, Man City. Over the next few years we'll be hearing about these new clubs more and more, and whilst i agree with sister clubs i don't agree with them being used to get around the financial fair play system which has been put on you because you fucked up the season before. There's no way Lampard would have been able to go from Chelsea to City but shocking he signed for their sister club and even more shockingly will then be loaned out to City for half the season. This is blatant dodging! City hope to have another 2-3 clubs in the next season or so, this is the list so far
Manchester City's affiliated clubs
New York City - from 2013 (partnership with New York Yankees)
Melbourne City - from 2014 (partnership with rugby league team Melbourne Storm)
Yokohama F Marinos - from 2014 (partnership with car maker Nissan)
Ha i was looking for the teams above and found this atricle where Wenger is saying the same thing For once i agree with you Wenger

I have no issue if teams have sister or brother clubs but not if they're going to be used to side step the rules.
