I guess he's young enough to be a foreign Chelsea fan. If he were any older, we'd know you were making this up, since your foreign fan base was about as big as Spurs' prior to Abramovich. I guess in a decade we'll have foreign kids talking about their dream of playing in a City shirt, too.

Solid move for United. Jones has looked very good, albeit in a pretty limited sample size. Now United appear to have their CB pairing for the future in place, between Jones and Smalling. And they blocked rivals Arsenal from making the move. I would've liked to see Jones at City, but Vertonghen...

No sour grapes here. I'd been hoping Henderson would end up going somewhere else. I've seen him on probably 10-12 occasions, and he's never done anything to impress me. A £20m valuation is absolutely ridiculous when you consider Adam Johnson was a better young player from the Northeast that City...

Hear hear. I think Boyata's one to keep. He impressed two seasons ago, and if not for that harsh red card in the Arsenal match this season that seemed to scare off Mancini from playing him more, you wonder what he would've shown this season. I just don't think Cahill is a Champions...

The USA essentially have one international-caliber player at each position in defense. Cherundolo at RB, Onyweu and DeMerit at CB, and Bocanega at LB. With just one of those four out there, and MLS-level talent likes Rogers and Kljestan in the midfield, this was always bound to be ugly against...

Always sad when loyalties and agendas get in the way of people seeing things as they are. 95 percent of what I just read on there is the work of wishful thinkers desperately trying to convince themselves there's nothing to fear from City. While they're burying their heads in the sand, the club...

I'd go with Dzeko, mostly because I watched him in the Bundesliga a lot with Wolfsburg, and in the Champions League, I was sure he'd need only a minimal adjustment period. I was shocked at how disengaged he looked much of the time he was on the pitch in a City shirt. Thankfully, I know what he's...

Re: New home kit??? Here's a photo of the small gold soundwave on the new away shirt. As you can see, it's about the size of the Tailored by Umbro. That is to say, pretty small.

(Apologies if this already has been posted on here -- I haven't seen it and a quick search didn't turn up anything.) If you've read this New York Times article -- or the mention of it in today's What the Media Says on the OS, you might be looking for a hi(gher)-res version of the photo. Click...

Not that long, as each paper received the proper amount of consideration it deserved.

Hear hear. While I'm sure you're all Adonises yourselves, we can do without this crap. She's not trying for a career in modeling. She's a journalist. Her appearance is irrelevant, and we can do without a handful of you making us all look like Neanderthals. And for what it's worth, you're...

Rewarding.

Eh, he was all right today. Of course, the image from today burned into my brain is him missing an absolute sitter after Boyata's beautiful cross. The problem with Barry is that he's the quintessential Jack of All Trades, Master of None. He's not a defensive midfielder. He's not an attacking...

And I added this to main pre-match thread, but here's a free stream on ESPN3.com for Blues in the States: <a class="postlink" href="http://espn.go.com/espn3/index/_/sport/soccer-futbol" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://espn.go.com/espn3/index/_/sport/soccer-futbol</a>

Good news for Blues in the States. ESPN3 has picked up the match (along with four others) and we can watch on ESPN3.com. <a class="postlink" href="http://espn.go.com/espn3/index/_/sport/soccer-futbol" onclick="window.open(this.href);return...

There's no broadcast of this one in the States -- even delayed. Do we think this is a case of the match not even being having a crew at the Reebok broadcasting it? Or is there a chance of finding some Arabic or Chinese broadcast out there on the Internet somewhere?

Tévez needs better advisors. I wonder if he realizes how much his destabilizing will-he-or-won't-he act has tarnished his legacy at City to this point. He'd be an absolute legend at the club right now if he weren't incessantly casting doubt on his future at Eastlands. We're all glad when he...

In addition to his inability to stay with his man, Kolarov's biggest problem as an attacking player is his propensity for losing control while dribbling and attempting to get by his defender, then attempting very ill-advised shots and crosses with his body shape all wrong. You can tell no good...
