With the exception of Zabaletta and Milner every player either drifted or went backwards last season. That's why any comparison with Bayern is pointless. Also, Mancini had a habit of picking the best eleven players rather than the best team. Consequently we played better with Milner rather than...

I saw him play for Hamburg a couple of times after he left City. He always struck me as somebody who could be brilliant for 89 minutes and then gift the opposition an open goal. A bit like R....

Forget the Yankees, the Cubs are the real deal when it comes to Manchester City. To paraphrase Francis Lee, If there were Cups for Cock -Ups the Chicago Cubs would win the lot.

2-1 defeat at Sincil Bank 1998 and the searing pain at half time when my toe was broken by an amputee's crutch.

Wasn't Justin Fashanu playing for Notts County?

Claudio Gentile was the dirty twat. Franco Causio was the skilful winger from the same vintage.

To be more specific that's four 0-0 draws away from home and all of them pretty similar. We could have won all four, but equally West Ham had a decent goal disallowed and Swansea had a blatant penalty not given. Chelsea were there for the taking, but we hardly created a chance. At QPR we never...

Is it that difficult to read the whole post rather than take one line out of context? We used to, have a minute silence, but the last two have been hijacked by clapping, which despite what some idiots sem to think, isn't the same.

Remember the poignant minute silence that City used to hold every Christmas? It was always a sad and moving occasion as the names of the recently departed were remembered. Sadly that tradition has been recently hijacked by idiots who don't understand the difference between a minute silence and...

There might be a personal chemistry between Tevex and Aguero, but the footballing partnership, in terms of goals, is overrated. Both of them score the occasional brilliant dribble, but that's about it. Too many City fans are trying too hard to convince themselves that the partnership works.

The problem isn't so much Tevez as the Tevez-Aguero partnership. Aguero was far more prolific when he played alongside Balotelli and Dzeko last season.

During the late 60s I was in a Rock shop in Brighton. The owner spotted my City shirt and commented that he knew quite a few city players personally from the days when he was the Manager. At first I thought he meant the Manager of the Rock shop, but it transpired that he was Chris Cattlin, the...

Difficult to say, but there is a dangerous obsession with the non productive partnership of Tevez and Aguero. Both of them play better as a sole striker, but as a partnership they simply don't function. Dzeko has scored some important goals, but Mancini has treated him so appallingly he will...

Once kicked Norman Whiteside so high he landed in the Sherwood Car Park

Cheers Fella

Spot on, but I think there's a bit more to it than that. United thrive on confrontation. They embrase it, enjoy it, and use it a motivational tool. Even when City haven't slagged them off (as in the case with Vieira towards Scholes last season) they love the opportunity to defend themselves...

I saw the interview on TV at the England training camp. He was asked about United and he gave an honest answer, which was nothing like the soundbite headline that appeared in the papers. Joe Hart is a nice guy and he came across as a nice guy In contrast Rio Ferdinand has been quite rightly...

“So it’s Man City for me, but I don’t know why I don’t care if they win or lose just as long as they try” An Everton fan asked me about this song at Goodison last Saturday I know it’s from one of those Frank Sidebottom medley songs to the tune of Matchstalk Men, but does anybody know the full...

No harm in finishing second. However there were plenty of blues on this forum who refused to believe that things were starting to go wrong last autumn and slaughtered anybody who dared to suggest that Hart and Kompany (to name, but two) were underperforming when compared with last season...

Why can't we just do the same as 2010-11? Win the FA Cup and qualify for the Champions League
