Yeah will do RBC. It's just so predictable.

"Hargreaves enjoys the perfect debut."

Of course he does, because Mancini saved it for a home Carling Cup tie against lower league opposition.

Have to laugh as well at the Beeb saying 'with 11 changes to the team that drew with Fulham...' yet say nothing of the number of changes we had since our last game.

Also, this is the calibre of the team fielded by Man City:

3 Wayne Bridge - Eng Int - 36 caps!
5 Pablo Zabaleta - Arg Int - 12 caps
7 [Sub] James Milner - Eng Int - 21 caps
13 Aleksandar Kolarov - Serb Int - 20 caps
15 Stefan Savic - Montenegro Int - 6 caps
20 Owen Hargreaves - Eng Int - 42 caps!
24 Nedum Onuoha - U21 Eng Int - 19 caps
28 Kolo Toure - Ivory Coast Int - 86 caps!
30 Costel Pantilimon - Romanian Int - 5 caps
32 Carlos Tevez - Arg Int - 60 caps!
44 [Sub] Karim Rekik - NIL
45 Mario Balotelli - Italy Int - 6 caps
49 [Sub] Luca Scapuzzi - NIL
62 Abdul Razak - NIL

Not forgetting subs that weren't used but could have been:
Taylor - NIL
Clichy - France Int - 11 caps
Suarez - NIL
Aguero - Arg Int - 31 caps

Yes, an uninspired, talentless Man City team indeed...
Look out for Sam Lyon's reports again in future doubt he knows much about teams outside of the top six.

Different, not better. In the 60's we earned the right to be there on the back of every working man that had made Birmingham great, ever bit of blood sweat and tears in every factory before, during and after the wars. Not to mention the great support that BCFC has back then. Fully deserved for entirely different reasons. Oh, and great events too, with some stunning players, under those beautiful lights. Great memories. Hope this time around means as much to the younger generations as that did back then to me.
