Its funny how different people view things like this. I looked at it as the rags having their bonfire p*ssed on yesterday. They finally overtake Liverpools 18 titles after two decades of little resistance and no credible challenge from Anfield and the week they reach their Holy Grail they have...

I can't prove this but every season I have a bet with my eldest son who is 18 now. We nominate the winners of all the major cups and our top four and bottom three. I tipped City for the FA Cup back in August. Mind you I also tipped Chelsea to win the league, Arsenal for the League Cup...

As a neutral fan and a local football referee I thought he did just ok. He did seem to show a bit of sympathy to Stoke at times and gave them a couple of free kicks in dangerous positions that were unwarranted imho. Kompany had Kenwynne Jones in his pocket but got penalised more often than he...

I was a bit surprised at some of the stick he got on here earlier in the season tbh. Being the Manchester City manager is not an easy job and is harder than ever despite what people think with the funds at his disposal. He may have cash to splash but he can still only put 11 players on the pitch...

Congratulations everyone, yesterday brought a tear to my eye if I'm being honest! Mam was a big City fan (wish she had lived to see it) but Dad won that little battle and I have to say I don't regret it (LFC) but I've always had a soft spot for City. Don't listen to all the media muppets...

Form is temporary, class is permanent. Tevez is world class. Judging him on his last 8 games is clueless tbh and also very ungrateful. I'm amazed he is not as revered as Torres was at Liverpool or something like that! God help City if the players read these forums.........

He just said "ha fucking ha" so I don't think he meant that! Seriously, Tevez has surely bought himself more than a few average performances for City hasn't he? I would have him in a heartbeat over any other PL striker, if only every City player had his attitude.... but hey I'm just a casual...

Wow, just fucking wow. Tevez is probably the best striker in the world pound for pound right now. City are getting really spoilt if Carlos Tevez isn't good enough for them! I tell my youngest lad to watch him and copy him, he is a role model of how to make it in football to me. As for his...

This is the thing that interests me the most too. The referee will be key, as their luck tends to be from that general direction. City have the better spread of players in every position, absolutely no question about that, its the ones that are selected on the day who have the responsibility...

None of those defeats were won until the dying embers of the game, City need to grab the bull by the horns and attack, simples

If the players read this thread they have no chance lol Thats the spirit! But I don't think the Mancini Way will suffice to be perfectly honest, catenaccio is certainly not the way to beat them in my opinion. Get in their faces from the first whistle...... and then stay in them for the full...

He reffed the Chelsea/Liverpool game yesterday and I thought he had a decent game, not overawed at all. Two big decisions were the Chelsea penalty claim late on for a barge in the back by Glen Johnson and the Agger forearm smash on Torres first half but I'd argue that both of those incidents...

Reminds me of my best mate who is a City fan. He booked a log cabin in a remote part of Wales for a weekend away with his missus when the Munich Memorial game was on as he couldn't get a ticket and didn't want to stay in the Manchester area. He didn't switch the telly or radio on and told me not...

RIP, true gentleman and a legend. My mam was a big City fan and he was one of her favourite players, my user name on here is a tribute to him in fact!

lol this was the one which really got me. You can just imagine the smug prick packing his golf clubs into the boot of his car and thinking "will listen to my team City smash those scouse bastards on the way home - and dinner better be fecking ready on time or she is in for it - in for it" What...

The same bloke just told me that the barriers are already up! He works very close to the ground and he said he's seen them. Also said that at least 400 cops will be deployed at the ground, not counting the areas surrounding OT. He's a solid bloke, not a bullshitter

You'd like to think he couldn't but don't forget the 4th official is miked up to the ref and can communicate with him during the game. Not suggesting anything by that but if the 4th off is feeling the heat that could possibly transmit to the ref. Its a massively hard game for Webb this one...

Howard Webb ref, could be worse I suppose! Get ready for at least 7 mins stoppage time if City are not losing. I'd be more worried about Alan Wiley as 4th official after the way he laughed and joked with the alky old tramp at the derby earlier this season.

I heard from a very reliable source that steel barriers have been erected all around the ground and everyone entering will be searched, turnstiles will be opened earlier than usual because of this. Same person said security is massive for this one and will be surprised if anything goes off...

Sky Sports are a shit-stirring disgrace of a station that shamelessly pander to the rags. Watch them turn on the crocodile tears for Rafa when he gets the axe. They are a television equivalent of The Sun with their sensationalist extremes and biased coverage, they can change their stance in an...
