there'll be no running through the middle of our m/f by toure with big phil as anchor,bring it on.

Nice one, a good opportunity for us to extend our 100% record against the rags at Wembley. And in their home town too!

Time for revenge bitters..no open goal miss in this one. I can bet you that for sure !!! Going for a 3-0...your luck is up Berties. L.U.H.C..........................................................

It's a great game to raise money for charities but aside from that it's a non-event and will have no bearing on how the season turns out. Just a good day out to start the season.

City will be potless if Tevez does one they lack a leader!

Let's wait until the transfer season has panned out over the next month before starting the banter, eh? For myself, I'm glad we're up against City, because I'm bored of seeing the usual suspects aspire to our crown, and I'd prefer to see the silverware remain in Manchester. On the Red side, of course!

as it is a charity event will the east side of the national stadium remain behind for the prize giving ??

Couldn't really care less about the Community Shield, Derby or not it is always a meaningless game.

And Berties, don't read into that comment as if I'm worried about iccle Citeh, Nope, not at all. You would understand why it's meaningless if City had played in it almost every year for the last two decades.

It's just a warm up and hopefully no injuries, then the real games begin.

as it is a charity event will the people located in the east side of the national stadium be staying behind for prize giving ?

Just a thought, but it should be Manchester City v Manchester United. Wrong again M.E. it is on Sky Sports.

Prediction - United win, everyone goes home smiling(ish); City win - bricks & fists in the car park. Twas ever thus.

Manchester City v Manchester United please we are the home team.

Cant wait for the next record attempt at the world speed fire drill .

Wow, the manure are running scared already

Are Citeh fans saying they are the home team because they do not own a stadium an thus feel at home any where..... More like the homeless team!

Wouldnt dream of calling anywhere other than Old Trafford!!

Can't wait for City to bring back yet another trophy to Manchester on August 7th.

We all know it is a meaningless friendly, but for two things - games against the debtors are never meaningless or friendly and are only classed as such by them when they are nervous of the outcome. (that's been going on for fifty years that I know of)
I assume that winning this meaningless game is not listed on United roll of honour then? I thought not.

Because it was supposed to be a friendly I was considering taking my granddaughter to it but then I thought about the unreported aftermath of the semi, .............probably not safe.

Bring it on and it will be all the more interesting with all the world class signing united have made

SAFs RedKnight, Salford ...of course it was like the FA CUP semi warm up for the final

Should be held at OT with a 50/50 ticket split! It would save being fleeced at rip-off Wembley plus transport costs!

Quite a plethora of bertie plonkers foaming at the mouth at another trip to Wembley,must be becoming an unique experience 3 times in one decade!

Wow the possibility of the Berties having a slim chance of the second piece of Silverware in three decades has them slavering with anticipation.They cant get used to it obviously!

Can't come soon enough,Yaya BANG do 1 raggy's empty that west stand as fast as you did in April.

Ready to beat your world record Wembley exit ragos?

Why so giddy after one trophy in 35 years when Tevez has made twice as many transfer requests in only six months?!!
