Irrespective of regional Italian dialects... It is Man chee nee. End of... From Trieste to Trapani, from Palermo to Piacenza...

Once upon a time, Hansen, like many, had a soft spot for City but then of course it was easy to like us as the perennial underachievers. For me, as MOTD’s anchor pundit, it’s beyond a joke how this halfwit critiques our performances. Last night.. We created a Prem record with 20 home wins on...

My favourite bar in the world is called Medusa in the Vinohradská district. There are plenty of decent bars and restaurants in this are but as it's off the tourist trap you wont get stung. Get metro to Náměstí Míru (1 stop after Wencelas Sq) exit the station, cross over to Belgickà (name of the...

Well he has to come back at some point and that's all the story seems to be saying. I don't read a thing that really suggests he'll play. Mancini is just playing the game and adhering to the legals as is I suspect Tevez. I still don't see the toe rag ever playing for us again.

Walcott and Lennon both flatter to deceive. Bottom line is without Yaya we move the ball throught midfield too slowly - his abilty draw in and then drift past players is what creates the space for Silva/Nasri/Aguero. Maybe Pizzaro will show the guile required? What i will say is once YT is back...

Tend to agree with Mancunial... saw the very same thing happen with David White. I was a bit young to notice the signs but my Dad could tell straight off.

Owen Hargreaves is a blue, is a blue, is a blue...Owen Hargreaves is a blue... he loves Munich, he hates Munichs, he loves Munich, he hates Munichs.............

Mancio, i know mate, it winds me up tho' that so many people STILL fall for tabloid shite! IF they printed the actual transcript of what ADL actually said it's a bit of a non-story, isn't it? One single word can suddenly transmit a whole different slant on the story.

Errr, i read this "quote" in the Italian press and he referred only to big money SPENDERS!, not wasters. In addition, the whole article has him eulogising about the us!! The club, the stadium, the atmosphere etc, etc... Like his dad Dino, Aurelio De Laurentiis is a legend! Where did this...

Like it a lot - pleasently surprised by the Nora Jones stuff, she sounds more like Martina Topley - not a bad thing! Danger Mouse is top notch, loved his Broken Bells project from last year. I'm a big fan of Morricone and Rota and this is, as you say, a perfect homage.

Reminds me of the first time Ade Mike played for us. I thought that was funny too.

Of course there's no official link, but you need to understand that all Italian clubs are keen to forge 'il gemellaggio' or 'twinning' with other clubs' fans. This is probably more important than their forging 'nemici' or 'enemies'. There are proud and often solid traditions between sets of...

Salernitana, languishing in Serie C :-( Also have soft spots for Toro, Napoli and St Etienne

Balotelli could well be the best signing ever seen in City shirt and any follower of Italian football will vouch for such a claim. He didn't fit in at Inter precisely because he was ostracized by Inter, so any bleating from Mourinho and others is of no real consequence. Anyone attempting to...
