ManCity's website makes it look like they have live audio, but it's not working for me. Anyone able to make it work?

1-0 at the half.

Man City is now a subscription service.

From socceraudio.com

Teams throughout England have been dropping free audio commentary streams one by one. At present streams have remained from the Charlton and Everton websites. Fulham seems to also have continued their streams, although we have two reports that this stream did not work on Oct 25, possibly because of added traffic from all the ManU fans who could no longer listen to their team. Streams for Arsenal matches have resumed from Capitol Gold in London. And Chelsea streams are available. We have a direct link to the Chelsea stream, but this may not remain. We know the team has been asking for registration before providing this link for some time. It is not clear whether they require paid membership or simply registration.

Saints manage to clear off the line after "fantastic buildup" by Reyna Sinclair and Macca.

dark knight · Nov 1, 2003

I think Wanchope blew a free header from 6 yards -- after another "fantastic buildup" this time from Reyna, Fowler and Macmanamanaman.

Wanchope with a smashing shot puts ManCity up 2-0

dark knight · Nov 1, 2003

Role-player Reyna goes 90 in 2-0 win.

Anyone got any ratings/articles/other accounts as to how Claudio did against the Saints?

Sample from the "Talkin' City" forum:

REYNA - 8 - Best game so far, broke up attacks well and linked up efficiently with Macca and Sinclair.

"Great stuff brendan sounded good on the radio mate Cheeseman was impressed with Reyna"

Reyna was impressive too, it was possibly our best team performance of the season today.

"Just been reading on www.manchesteronline.co.uk keegan well impressed by Macca,he seemed to be everywhere going by the GMR commentary who were impressed by Reyna."

Reyna always available as an outlet for defenders,

Reyna and Barton ruled the middle of the park and played some sublime football across the line.

Sounds like a repeat of Rangers and Sunderland. Fans acceptance starts slow, and then grows as they see him play.

Reyna is never spectacular, only very, very good.

Reyna is the glue that holds a team together.

SgtSchultz · Nov 3, 2003

Reyna knows how to read a game. He does not make the incredible pass nor will he score tons of goals. He just understand the flow of a game. As I stated when Man City purchased him, Blues supporters will be happy that Reyna is around.

I'm really happy for Claudio. With his last knee injury he's had to come a long way back, and it appears his resurrection is just about complete.

Can't wait to see him back 100% with the Nats.
