Leeds United Still Same Old, Manchester City In Good Shape for Festive Run Up!

You would think a very high and hard fall from the heights of the Premier League and Champions League would humble a club and its fans, but that would be far from reality and Leeds United are a prime example.

After Leeds United's disappearance into the financial black hole that threatened to swallow Liverpool this season and threatens to swallow Man United still, you would think Leeds fans would be well accustomed to understanding what humble pie is not to mention knowing the definition of the word 'humble'.

Their fans still class themselves one of the best clubs in the world despite an extreme lack of success, an act which I am only accustomed to witnessing with Man United and Liverpool fans.

Reasoning and reality I guess are not welcome in the minds of Leeds and Trafford Fans.

One particular Leeds fan who goes by the name of Darren Witcoop has a infatuation with Carlos Tevez, apparently Leeds United's Argentine striker Luciano Becchio is a better striker than Argentine international Carlos Tevez.

I think Leeds beating this seasons wobbly Man United earlier this year has woken up the Leeds of old.

With that over its time for us City fans to step back, focus and evaluate where we are now.

Now that all the opposed hysteria thrown at City is slowly dying down, our players and club are reassuring us which is something we were not really accustomed too but is very much welcomed.

It is good to know Carlos Tevez is happy at City and equally good to know the retirement plan was also a future thought, I understood he Carlos meant possibly in 4 or 5 years plus but the rubbish flying around in the media were still getting a little tiresome.

Other issues that needed clearing up were Carlos's confrontation with Roberto Mancini and the Balotelli slash Boateng bust up, thanks to Patrick Vieira and James Milner they were both put into perspective.

These things happen at big clubs with big players and high expectations, how many times did you see Man United's players coming off disappointed or players upset in training. United have banned the media from their training ground on more than one occasion and now the media do not publish anything without first seeking permission from old bacon face himself.

Forth in the league with no injury problems and Magic Michael Johnson on his way back to full fitness, Mancini has settled our players in and we are finally starting to look like a team.

Qualified for the last 32 of the Eufa Europa League with one game left against Juventus, which is more of a glamour game for City but more of a pride gaining game for Juventus.

Only one issue that still lingers and that be Ian Wright who continues to air his moronic opinion like a child with a vengeance vendetta, crying due to City blacklisting him and not allowing City players to appear on his little show.

Despite Carlos stating he has no issue with Mancini and fully respects his manager, Ian still thinks he knows better and is more qualified than Mancini and thinks Carlos should be treated better?

Other than that everything is peachy and our youth setup is continuing to thrive with John Guidetti flourishing on his loan move, at least one more year before he is ready for Premier League but alongside Alex Nimely we will have enough strikers for the future after we rid ourselves off a few senior strikers and replace them with better.

The Mail Need To Get A Grip, Manchester City Are Here To Stay?

The Mail's front line website has more bitterness than a Lapland snow storm, my bets they are all waking up to the thought of 'Bah Humbug'.

When there's the slightest bit of negativity at City, they are the first to pounce like rabid sweet starved children in a confectionery store. Even as our lads at City are out in numbers having fun dressed up like multi-coloured dominoes, The Mail feels the need to mock and stick the knife in with comments from a previous story.

It just shows that behind the scenes at The Mail, they are a jam jar full of hate and bitterness. I would be very very surprised if they have even one City fan on their books, they definitely win the title for the biggest pile of human garbage around.

Still running with the Balotelli to AC Milan story though it is highly unlikely to happen anytime soon unless someone doubles his last transfer fee, our owner Sheikh Mansour is no fool and would not let a gem go so easily or for little.

For now Balotelli will give his next few years to Manchester City then possibly do a Ronaldo to Madrid job and end up at another club.


Moving on the lads did good against Bolton showing us once again that they will not be bullied and the statistics for that game, as well as the game itself showed Bolton definitely were the dirty side.

20 plus fouls for Bolton along side getting a Manchester City player tactically sent off, how the referee thought that was an intentional foul baffles me when everyone around thought otherwise and the Bolton player went down far to easily and dramatically.

Manchester City should contest the red card as television footage clearly states otherwise, totally glad to see Bolton lose after we went down to ten men undeservedly.

I want to thank and applaud Aleksandar Kolarov for coming to City, but more for proving me right in showing what a top class player he will become.

Well what more could we ask for in the run up to Christmas?, Roberto Mancini and our players are doing a fantastic job. I would also like to single out Mr Pablo Zabaleta for his rallying call and last few outstanding performances, lets hope he can keep it up and a call up to the Argentinian national side should be in the bag.

Keep it up lads!

The BBC Are Not To Blame, FIFA And Russia Are, They Stole England's Dreams!

They stole English peoples dreams, they ripped the hearts of the English people right out from under us.

I am 35 years old born after 1966 and due to 'that's life' circumstances to date, I have never had the chance to see England play a professional World Cup match at Wembley.

Sadly enough I never got to go to the old Wembley either and what makes that even more sad is that, I am an Englishman with the heart of an Englishman.

Since the day I was able to pay my own way and have been old enough to travel on my own if need be, I like every other Englishman have had to watch other countries host World Cup after World Cup with the dream of one day standing in amungst thousands of fellow countrymen and women cheering England on at Wembley.

Now the chance of my generations dreams coming true has all but ended, England are not even sure of getting to host the 2030 World Cup and by then I will be 55 years old if I survive that long.

English football have done more for World Sport and World Charity than any other country and the only other countries to come close would be Spain and France, France having already hosted and Spain also losing out to Russia and Qatar who have done virtually nothing for World Football or World Charity.

Now the BBC are not to blame for any of this and Fifa are just using the British media as an excuse to draw attention away from corruption within Fifa.

This is a statement of power in sport by Fifa and they have been caught cheating, they will not admit it and continue to throw their weight around and it is only fitting they choose to give the 2018 host to none other than Russia.

Russia chose to accept the outcome knowing they had won 24 hours before the final vote and to add insult to injury, Putin ex KGB flew in to Zurich after Russia won also choosing to use the BBC as an excuse for England losing the bid.

Did England ever have a chance of winning?

I don't think so but I still had enough heart to hope and pray despite, the BBC on the other hand knew of our chances and did their best to flush out the corruption but time ran out.

As an Englishman with my eyes open I support the BBC for their work and to this very day continue to support them, they did nothing wrong and everything right.

You either choose to accept the corruption or fight it and I know what side I am on but do you?.

I wonder how English Chelsea and Arsenal fans will take this, one being run by a Russian behind Russia's bid and the other with a player behind Russia's bid.

It is nice to see a few Scotsmen show their support for England, the diversity of ethnicity of England speaks volumes compared to Russia and Qatar.

Now its time for me to move on and turn my attention to my beloved City, have your say and let it all out then follow me.
