Sergio to make his appearance in second half scoring the fastest ever record hat trick and helping City break the biggest ever winning margin in a community/charity shield match.

Well I like the Idea of it so thought I would share it ! heheh

I'd rather keep him under wraps for the PL - let him loose on Swansea week Monday!! I'm sure he'll get some playing time on Sunday though. Really can't wait to see this lad play for us.

Really looking forward to seeing Aguero, even if it is only a cameo appearance.
Would have loved to have had Tevez in the team as well, though I'm sure Balo will take up the slack in that department!
The one player who will be a big miss for us is Michael Carrick, nobody can play Yaya in like that lad!

What a player to have on the bench!

Never expected him to start to be fair. Looking forward to him coming on.

Give him at least 30 mins Bobby. PLEASE!!!

I think we should play a mainly shadow team, pointless getting players injured in what is a friendly plus Utd may be out to settle scores after we stopped them in their tracks

Good - but make sure the hatchet men don't get near him

This is a massive game for both clubs. Most fans of both teams will of course deny this. Imajine Vincent Holding a trophy aloft right over the head of Bacon face. The power of that image would shake the football world on the back of the FA Cup Semi. Phsycologicaly it would have an effect both positive for the blues and negative on the rags. If City truly want toi become a success then they should take no prisoners in any game especially one as high profile as this at Wembley against the Salford Reds. The winning mentality has already started. On Sunday it just has to continue. It just has to..

BLUE MOON RISIN'.

You mean he will play? I thought he was going to leave when he realised he hadnt signed for United. That'll teach me to listen to United fans but then they do seem to have an opinion & full information on everything happening at City these days.

I suppose this means hes unhappy and wants to leave?

Just a quick thing - I miss Sven! Happy with Roberto but would be nice to see Sven back one day in some capacity. Glad MJ is under his wing now!

Can't play because of blisters - £190,000 a week.

There for the money or the glory?

I want super mario backheel bib-otelli to wink at duck mouth as he nutmegs him en route to blasting the winner past their new keeper - preferably in the most show boaty fashion possible. Perhaps he could wear that hat and be sporting an inside out bib, his head sticking out through the hole meant for one of the arms - obviously. After which he pulls a Manchester city centre map out from his shorts and tears it to pieces in front of the watching Cantona............

That way at least all the cr@p written about us will have some substance behind it........

start with the team that won the cup as near as posible, bring dzeko in and aguero on the bench. segio can come on with 30 mins to go, having him raring to go should focus the minds of dzeko and balotelli.

Come on you blues! A victory in this game in my opinion will be a pivitol moment I am sure. As usual just like the weeks leading up to last seasons FA Cup semi final almost every United scource or connection were boasting about how many goals they would win by etc etc so a nice City win will not only bring home another trophy it will also send out a statement to all the cynics in red that MCFC are really genuine in their ambitions to stamp their authority on not only the Manchester scene but in football generally and perhaps then these morons (not only the 'rags') will shut up and let our club and team progress without petty disruption.
YES winning on Sunday will be a massive psychological boost which may prove to be a PIVITOL moment in our history....

I'm sure the official site said Aguero was going to be training to get us down there on Wednesday. I'll be there on Sunday hope to get to see him there.

Bound to be a tight game but -

Balotelli back heel a la Denis Law to win it in the 6th minute of injury time.

Followed by a salute to his manager and mentor Bobby Mancini

The rags had better make sure they take a few changes of shorts for the defence because after Dzeko and Ballo have terrorised them the sight of Aguero coming on will have them soiling themselves in terror.

So after all this, we face our first Community Shield in 35 years with a strike force of Balotelli and Dzeko, brilliant!
