good timing from city. bellamy talking about our future and how hard he is pushing himself blows a sizeable hole in harry's pre-match ramblings about our lot not being here for football reasons.

“Look,” he said, “Robinho arrived here as Britain’s record transfer fee. No disrespect to him because he was a great lad but he’s back in Brazil and I’m still here

Hope this shuts some of these "gobby sports writers" who do nothing but make up these fanciful stories about disharmony within the camp.

Tevez: I want to stay at City By MARTIN BLACKBURN

CARLOS TEVEZ has given his full backing to Roberto Mancini - and hopes they will still be working together at Manchester City next season.
The Italian boss could go a long way to securing his long-term future at Eastlands if his team can beat Tottenham in the fourth-placed showdown tonight.
The relationship between the City boss and his 29-goal superstar striker has come under the spotlight since Tevez apparently complained about the training regime last month.
But the former West Ham and Manchester United hero has been a mainstay of the starting line-up under Mancini and feels that is a big reason why he is in the form of his life right now.
Tevez, who has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, said: "Of course I would really like him to continue here.
"I would like all of us to stay and continue with this ambitious project which we have started.
"The manager has given me the continuity that every player needs to produce his best. He helped me recover my confidence.
"Thanks to the coach and my team-mates, things have worked well for me this season and it's the reason I have achieved such a high level."
Tevez, 26, would love to break through the 30-goal barrier tonight while pushing City into the top four going into the final match of the season.
He gave Mancini a scare in training yesterday when he walked off the pitch before the session was scheduled to end and was seen talking to the club doctor.
But City sources last night said his early finish was due to tiredness and insisted he would be fine to line up against Harry Redknapp's men.
Tevez added: "We are a team that is growing together. We are happy with what we've done so far but we know this is our greatest challenge.
"Now the last part comes, we know it will be tough but we'll try hard. We are very confident.
"Tottenham have a team which is no more or less than us. We are at the same level so the team that performs to their true potential will win this battle.
"We both need to win and time will decide who will be the winner."
City's wealthy Arab owners are determined to get into the Champions League quickly - but Tevez insists it would not be a disaster if they do not make it.
The Argentinian striker added: "The Champions League is one of the most beautiful tournaments in the world to play in, that is unquestionable.
"Of course there is the possibility we will not qualify because we are just making our first steps to becoming a great team.
"Everything will happen in due time. But I like to talk about realities and maybe next season City in the Champions League will be a reality."
Redknapp insists all the pressure will be on City due to their massive outlay - but Tevez says he will not be feeling it.
He said: "I never feel any pressure playing football.
"I have played since I was a kid and I play just for fun. I try to play with that in mind every game.
"Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. But I don't feel any pressure. I don't care if I'm playing a friendly game or a World Cup game.
"I have worked so hard to play at this high level, so now I feel no pressure at all. When I go to a team, I give all I have of myself. That's always my rule."
