Going against the grain here it seems but I've been somewhat impressed with Delph in the limited time he has had on the pitch. Breaks up play, works back and tries to get into the box whenever he can. Yes he isn't the most accomplished player but we have (in theory) enough of these in the team...

Difference to when them players were coming through was the first team wasn't great so they had a chance. Since the takeover, the level of players has gone up drastically meaning young lads who previously would have been given some game time, no longer met the standard. It's unfortunate but a...

Was hoping for a draw like this, Champ team at home. Been saying all season gonna take the lad to his first game if the draw was ok. Can't wait!

Was my first year as a season ticket holder, although had attended most of the previous 2-3 years. Absolutely loved the football we played that season and all the goals we scored, even with 10 men! I seem to remember playing Millwall (could be wrong) and we had a man sent off in the first 10...

Agree, Gill, Dyke etc... shouldn't be there. There are people in the football world who are better placed to help improve the quality of young English players coming through, like the guy (forget his name) in the Southampton academy or even Jim Cassell. 1. I wouldn't say we are a threat to them...

So do you think these people in the FA and those in UEFA sit around a table and say "right how can we stitch up City today"? Granted these rules affect us but they also affect all the other clubs as well. Not for one minute do I agree with all these new "innovations" the plebs at the FA come up...

Re: Yaya? Just goes to show doesn't it how peoples mentality and attitude affects what others see! Do think Toure has brought some of it on himself with his/agents antics over the summer, but it's not like he was jumping up and down celebrating with the Bayern players.

For me we miss that big player in Europe who does something different to win a game. For some reason our "big game" players have never really stood up in Europe against the top teams. Barca have Messi who can make something out of nothing to win a game, Bayern have Robben or even Muller who has...

Re: Yaya? Wouldn't go that far, can think of many worse performances from a City player attitude wise (pick any game from Clough, Creaney, Bradbury, McManaman, Frontzeck to name but a few!)

First, starting to get a bit boring now all these anti City posts/threads etc... Fair enough if someone genuinely believes there is an agenda against us, everyone has the right to their own opinions but what's annoying is that everything which happens in football people think it's to stop or...

Still wondering how Zabaleta got booked for the foul on Sanchez and that cheating little shit got away with so much!

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but in our starting lineup we had 3 English men and Arsenal had 2. Did Arsehole Wenger not slag us off at the Charity Shield for lack of English men and the media jump all over us for that?

Don't believe for one minute that the draw was fixed, there is an agenda against us etc... As others have said, what about Bayern? Shouldn't their fans be going on now about the same agenda thing as us? What I do disagree with though, and always have done, is the whole co-efficient points...

But you're missing the point, this is to supposedly to benefit the England team, not the club teams. What does it matter that youth players will be playing the same philosophy as the 1st team? If/When they go to play for England they wont necessarily play the same way their club team plays? This...

The main issue with this is the coaching and facilities at youth level, as others have mentioned. The FA needs to invest in youth development from the earliest ages, making facilities better and allowing an easier and more affordable route for people to become qualified coaches. The FA want the...

Gareth Taylor v Stoke. That win turned our season around that year

Re: Who would you want in the round of 16? (Champions League) Don't think there has been any stand out teams who make me think "don't fancy them". I know Munich did a bit of a number on us but we didn't turn up either. I'll fancy our chances against anyone as long as we play to our potential.

How about finishing it: "Let the Blue Moon rise"? Or something like that?

I've been asked by work colleagues/friends etc ... who don't support City a similar question. Before the take over we were (apparently) many people's "2nd" team, a lot of people had a soft spot for us, although I generally saw it as pity! Now people don't like us due to the money which we can...

This has been my big argument for the last couple of years, at the risk of opening another can of worms, Platini's been banging on about FFP but to truely implement this, competitions have to be fair as well. How can a team who have had to qualify like Arsenal be placed in pot 1? For me, the...
