Don't suppose it had a big impact on the title. But I like the way Brian Kidd shakes hands and always seems to have a polite word with the people who work in the 'tunnel area' on match day. League titles are one thing. But manners can't be bought.

Great cross for Rosler away at Palace. Funny the things you remember...

He's an uncomplicated fast slow player. And I get the feeling he'd knock it into feet earlier than NDJ does and get things moving a bit quicker. I'd love to see him there, personally.

Strangely, whenever I walk across a supermarket car park I find myself shouting 'CI-TY, CI-TY, CI-TY' to myself in my head. Only happens with supermarket car parks, mind.

We were on the point of changing our car a couple of years ago. Black - no red in sight. So, nothing to worry about - or so I thought. Now, we live in France. So the wife (French) had done all the talking. Anyway, we'd been there for ages. The kids were playing up, running round the garage out...

I miss Zab in midfield. We're too complicated for our own good at times. I couldn't see us scoring last night.

Hi, my name is Andy. And I'm a tunnel-cam-oholic.

As every trainee journalist learns on day one on the job, you can't run a story under the banner 'Dog bites Man'. Going after the United angle (19th title, blah, blah, blah...) is a non-story. The City story is 'Man bites Dog'. And everyone, Big Ears apart, knows it.

Big rumour tonight in France is that Mr. Wenger is off to Roma (I know it's not in France). To be replaced by Chelsea's current manager...

Re: City make Ramires bid. He was born in Fray Bentos.

You just know that if City ever did this, the Sky commentators would still find something to moan at. I can hear them now saying: "City of course are sitting in a Champions Leaugue slot, Andy. But looking around the ground, there are plenty of empty seats..."

I always liked him. Don't forget, we haven't always been rolling in money... Wasn't Ben Thatcher our other left-back at the time?

Is Michah saying 'You got any Smiths, mate?'

How about Arsenal and their long throws, eh? Good game, though. I got so into it, I ended up getting nervous. Bloody City...

Proper footballer. And, what's more, his club's Chairman was on the radio (RMC) last week (heard it with my own ears) saying City are interested. Big rivalry (and no love) lost between Bordeaux and Lyon. Lyon said to be keen on buying him. Being rather aggressive about it, too, if you ask...

Is it Eto? Yosemite Sam

Zaba is a good 'bad player'. Whereas Ireland is a bad 'good player'. While I'm at it, Zab is a fast 'slow runner'. Whereas Richards is a slow 'fast runner'. Definite cult-hero potential.

You two have beaten me to it. This guy's straight out of Central Casting. Brilliant!

Ha ha, I was thinking of Sunderland actually, mate. But, now you mention it...

I'd been assuming Toure had been told before the game - as that might go some way to explaining an appaling performance from him...
