Well Bournemouth got thrashed 6-0 although looking at the sky sports highlights could easily have been 10 or more goals. Ronaldo scored 2 as did Higuain with a goal from Di Maria and Casemiro
I'm amazed he even went. I thought somewhere lik that was below his supposed 'god-like' opinions of himself.
People say that pre season friendlies dont mean anything. However, class always wins out. I presume that Real Madrid were not really trying and they still won 6-0! I would be impressed if City played a team like Bournemouth in a pre season friendly and without really trying beat them 6-0. Does not often happen. Shows the gulf in class.
Did not realize that Bournemouth are now in the Championship. Am even more impressed with Real Madrid. A team not trying 6 A team going for it 0.
where are all the doubters who said it wouldn't be their first team? Good luck to Bournemouth, they put a show on and made some brass.
It cost Leicester a million quid to get Real Madrid over, I'm guessing it will have cost Bournemouth similar and their stadium is far smaller.
This was massive in Bournemouth, the real team where met by huge crowds at the airport and outside the stadium. The stadium was increased by a new 2000 seater stand. Taking it to 12k. The club hasn't made or apparently lost by this fixture. As for the supporters, it has been a day for them to remember and hardly one dissenting voice has been heard. Eddie Mitchell is a Del Boy businessman, who found a rare match and gave it to the fans. He has started life in the championship by filling the stadium and that has to be admired. He could teach us a few lessons. But that is where it stops, he isn't a chairman I would want for us at any point. Are posters saying that Hull City vs Barcelona in a pre season friendly would not be worth paying extra for? I would jump at the chance and if the ticket was £60, I bet we would still sell out. But there again we could do it for £30 with our capacity.
I think City have always been notoriously poor in pre-season, with the possible recent exception of our 3-0 win over Liverpool a couple of years back.
Well done, Bournemouth. I was surprised that they would play their first team but given the prices I would suppose it was part of the agreement. I'd pay £60 to see City play Real Madrid's first team even if it was a friendly.
£10 a goal well worth the price. At least Real Madrid played as strong a team as possible and Ronaldo did his party tricks as well as score a couple. 12,000 sell out reported Bournmouth not having the best of pre-seasons so far. Bournmouth 0 West Ham 2 Wycome 2 Bournmouth 1 Bournmouth 0 Real Madrid 6. still, its only pre-season and fitness,.
Suprisingly real played more of their first team then bmouth did And your missing thursday nights match poole town 1 bournemouth 3 They got pompy tomorrow at home as well so hopefully they should beat them haha
We bumped into him and his girlfriend once in Venice - it was all very low key and, much to my surprise, he came across as a really pleasant bloke, very modest and with no airs and graces. He wasn't eating ice cream though!
They just got back to back promotions but they in southern league premier division now not so good really but its where charlie austin was before swindon got him and they obsessed with him haha i try and get to a few games a season though as they closest team to me
Poole Town Calor Premier League £205.00 for a season ticket. AFC Bournemouth Championship £250.00 adult in family stand. It shows why small clubs struggle.
