Physical presence but has technical ability (passing, dribbling etc.) that Pep appreciates in centre-halves also. Determined quality to him and willingness to improve which Pep will love developing. Rumours on social media that he is impressed too and the club could offer up to £50 million for...

Club doctor for the 2011/12 - best injury record in the Premier League. But Mancini forced him out in September 2012. It irked me at the time because the guy was highly-rated. Contrast with the 12/13 and 13/14 season injuries under the new medical regime. Madness.....

Just like to say, we have to get behind our new manager in the same way we got behind Mancini over these past 3 years. I think the City fans support for Mancini was admirable and crucial. No other club in England had the same admiration for their manager than us even when the media were...

That one announcement yesterday has demonstrated quite clearly that FFP will not work. I have to applaud the club for the clever move. Drag Etihad into the fray as a "partner" so they can create jobs and gain Manchester City Council's support. Then build developments on the land around the...

Am I really here? Bit ambitious by the bookies in my view but only Barca, Real, United & Chelsea above us. Just shows how we've come. Saying that I do think European football is at its weakest for many a year (with exception of Barca), just look at Schalke and Tottenham in this seasons CL. The...

So now the season (sadly for the first time) is over, I guess our attention switches to transfers and Champions League anticipation. The draw for the group stages of the Champions League is on the 25 August 2011, so still a while away. But someone has already compiled a preliminary seeding...

Empty seats in top tier, they weren't up for it at all. And this has to be the most ridiculous chant since we've been at Eastlands anyway: "Your support is f****** s***!" they chanted to the City fans. Well, if your gonna sing that, you need to make sure you sing more than twice throughout the...

Summarises Tevez injury, FA Cup Final, Champions League race and the chase for 3rd place. Worth a read I think With Tevez back in the fold City adjust sights from fourth to third Mancini's side could catch Arsenal and eliminate need to play nerve-shredding Champions League qualifier By Ian...

Ok, I understand that we are challenging on 3 fronts and, as you would expect, it is draining, but is it just me who thinks this overblown issue is beginning to have a detrimental, negative effect? Mancini complained about too many games last month (2 of which were avoidable as they were...

..with a petition signed by 12,000 red dippers. http://www.petitiononline.com/hodgson/ Just shows you the loyalty of the great Liverpool fans in this quote: 5) Liverpool are positioned 12th after 18 league games. This is unacceptable. = Pathetic It called being a football supporter and...

Mark Hughes was sacked and Roberto Mancini was brought in after the rollercoaster victory that was the 4-3 result against Sunderland - only felt like yesterday. Mancini has had a solid, if unspectacular, first year - now is where the work really starts with us being in a good position in the...

I'm confident the club will talk Tevez round and he'll stay. William Hill are 2/7 that he won't leave in January. Although I would brace our for his retirement/return to Argentina at the end of the season, then we'd have to get a replacement. We know what Carlos is like, he tends to get led by...

So we beat Birmingham 5-1 in April with playing 2 strikers up front, Tevez and Adebayor. Fastforward another £100m, 1 place higher in the league and 7/8 months later and Mancini decides to just play Tevez up front. I'm vexed, I just don't get it. So that brings to me to the truthful and honest...

It most certainly looks like no UK broadcaster will be showing the game so maybe City could show it on the OS?? ITV1 are showing the dippers, ITV4 Villa and Five can't really show it considering they'll have competition from the ITV games. Espn apparently have right to the Europa League but...

Not one of those sad statisticians who sits at computer screens all day but for me, our seemingly new found passing ability has came to my attention in the last couple of games. It was probably the most positive thing that came out of the game yesterday, especially in the second half where we...

From that plastic fan, Rob Beasley of The Sun, previously of the ever reliable News of the World. Sorry, but we've all been saying it for weeks now, City need to take action against these bastards, there taking the piss and giving the club a bad name. No wonder we're quickly becoming the most...
