Seriously, who gives a shit if we're playing friendlies. They are friendlies, players won't try, we'll get to see some loanees and it'd be a nice PAID vacation for em all.

That's if we even take them and other younger players there in the first place. Even if we do that, then you gotta wonder how many would be brought over there.

So there are some rumors here in the States that we're supposed to play City in a second game, at Yankee Stadium in New York, two days after the St. Louis game. Any truth to this?

Insiders?

Don't think it's true. Chelsea in America knew all about the St. Louis trip but no mention of this one so maybe not. But then again, it would make sense if they are both going for one game, might as well play two. I'm going to the St. Louis match just cause it's driving distance for me and I went to the New York match last pre-season.

Even Fergie and Mancini can't understand this post-season games in US....

http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1411079/alex-ferguson-dismisses-roberto-mancini%27s-%27self-sympathy%27?cc=4716

...the two men have both aired similar views over City and Chelsea's two-game post-season trip to America.

The fixtures in St Louis and New York are set to conflict with the England national team's friendlies against the Republic of Ireland and Brazil.

"I was surprised to see they were playing two games," said Ferguson.

"It can only be because of whatever financial gains they're getting out of it. They're the two richest clubs too. They must need the money.

"I wouldn't do it, I must admit. Players need to get their rest at the end of the season."

Mancini added: "Usually I don't like this because when we finish the season it is finished. "

"The players need to go home for one week because afterwards they should go with national team.

"It is not for me. We go to play two games for the club because it is important - but I don't like to go (on tour) after the championship."

Don't you just feel awkward when Ferguson is not talking nonsense?
