The Pellegrini Puzzle, Hodgson's Friendlies, Ferguson And The Fraggle's, Lets All Laugh At Tottenham

Have to admit I was extremely sceptical when Manuel Pellegrini was first linked with replacing Mancini, that was until I got to know the man via anything I could lay my eyes on from the voices of fans from his previous clubs, to records and information on who is Manuel Pellegrini.

You have probably all read enough to make your own minds up on Pellegrini, but I have looked more into the man himself as opposed to his football education and success. The man is a technical thinker as are all successful civil engineers, not someone who rushes into things too quickly unless absolutely sure of themselves. A laid back man with realistic ambition, who demands nothing less than the best from himself with the tools he has at his disposal.

He may not be successful in the title and trophy department but, he definitely makes up for that in the man management department with great experience earned under previous employers. A weathered man that I'm betting will achieve great things under people like Sheikh Mansour and Txiki Begiristain at Manchester City FC, equally I honestly believe Manchester City would be lucky to have this great man at the helm, though only time will tell if Manchester City can unlock the Pellegrini puzzle to achieve the continued success we crave.

International friendlies?, never liked them, agreed with them or care for them. They just act as a platform for picking up unnecessary injuries, who in the end has to pick up the pieces? the domestic mother club of course.

As far as I'm concerned International friendlies are purely an extra money making scheme for domestic football associations, they serve no other purpose because great players don't need a couple stupid friendlies to prove they can play together.

Chelsea crumbled under the FA's plea, now Hodgson wants Spurs and more importantly Manchester City to follow Chelsea's lead in releasing players for these stupid and needless friendlies. I say tell them to jog on.

I'm English before anyone questions my motive here, I'm also patriotic but as far as I'm concerned Manchester City always comes first. After all City are paying the players wages and City have to deal with the unnecessary injures sometimes resulting in players missing the start of upcoming seasons etc.

Hilarious how Ferguson comes out in defence of Roberto Mancini, clearly he saw Mancini's weaknesses and thought Roberto staying would have been in United's best interest. United's inbred fans are carbon copies of each other.

They are flooding the Mail Online among other sites in support of Mancini, bad mouthing our club for sacking him. Hidden agenda if there ever was one, the Fraggle's are just hacked off because Manchester City have moved another step closer to dominating English football. (Didn't even mention the fact Manchester City FC now own an MLS Franchise aka New York City FC). If that wasn't bad enough United also have Chelsea to deal with who are ready to open the cheque book to mount a challenge for next seasons title. David Moyes can't be instilling much belief in the Fraggle fan base right now, I mean what has he ever won apart from one weak Scottish league title?

United fans were against Mancini when he joined Manchester City, saying how rubbish he was especially being a failure in Europe, that was until Manchester City snatched the league title right out of Uniteds hands on the last day of the 11/12 season. Now they're all defending him (that wouldn't have anything to do with them thinking it would have been better for United if he'd stayed now would it).

Rewind back too that day when the Spudyids pipped us to a Champions League place not so long ago, then came all the stuck up gloating and mouthing off. For all the dislike I have for Arsenal and their pitiful fan base, I must thank them for scraping through to claim the last Champions League place at the expense of Trottingham Rottenspuds.

What goes around, always does come around. Oh what a difference a day makes, well done to Norwich for capitalising on our poor end of season.

Happy Days, Prepare To Party For United's Wheels Are Finally Falling Off, Old Bacon Face Is Retiring

We've been waiting for this joyous day to come and it's finally upon us, Alex Ferguson is stepping down because mother nature has finally caught up with him. Even more joyous is the news that the FA's David Gill will also be stepping down at United, meaning United will no longer hold power among the board of the Football Association.

Two wheels finally off and all we need now is the departures of the cripple Rio Ferdinand and mercenary Ryan Giggs. I can already smell the fear of United fans from here.

But this is not just a great day for Manchetser City fans, it's also a great day for English football. No more Fergy manipulating referees, for too long has he infected English football with his hold over the FA and referees. Very few officials dared to cross the Old Scot, he has been gifted far to much respect as far as I'm concerned.

Sir Matt Busby laid the foundations for Fergy's reign, Old Bacon Face joined a club with more money than the entire league had put together. If anything Liverpools Bill Shankly, Manchester City's Joe Mercer and City legend Sir Matt Busby were and still are the best managers to ever grace English football because they did it with nothing but true grit and determination.

Ill be celebrating with a pint at old red noses and United expense for today is a good day, what will you be doing?

LoL, Hypocrite United Fans Show Support For The Hypocrite Mercenary Ryan (Cheated on his Wife) Giggs

I'm sure everyone are aware of the deep swamp of cretins that dwell in the depth of a low life site named therepublikofmancunia.com.

They have well and truly out done themselves with their most recent regurgitation, a hypocritical article of the highest of highest order. Apparently Ryan who swapped Manchester City for a lucrative contract at United Giggs was and is right to get angry about opposition players waving imaginary cards at referees.

For real?, the same scumbag player who recently tried to take out David Silva because Silva ran rings around him and made him look bad?

The same tool that shares a changing room with two of the three most famous divers in English football history, aka Wayne scum bag Rooney and Ashley you didn't really see me dive did you, did you Young.

United have taken European football for granted so much so that they now encourage their players to dive to win, they have learnt from the best by being on the receiving end thus deciding if you can't beat them, join them in cheating.

Wayne Rooney who waved his little red card which resulted in Vincent Kompany being red carded for NOT making contact with anything but the ball resulting in Nani avoiding the challenge. (a week earlier Liverpool's Glen Johnson was not booked for a worse tackle that actually made contact with the opposing player).

A cheat calling out another cheat is ugly business and the well known sayings spring to mind, what goes around comes around and you reap what you sow.

Christiano Ronaldo was another serial diver while under contract at United, as were a few other players I could mention.

Keep it up lads, along with your appearances on TV shows like Police Interceptors and Crime Watch UK getting arrested, you are truly setting a good example for your club.

Though thinking about it your club fail to set good examples for you anyway, so why change the habit?

Robin Van Purse Strings & Exactly Why United Are So Hated, See Rio Ferdinand For Example

Robin Van Purse strings well well well what can I say, his choice to join United was based on nothing but bitterness. Bitterness for Manchester City for more than one reason. The little boy at Arsenal was the end of a conveyor belt of talent, he had to watch on as all who followed him were average at best. Seeing all the greats leave through the exit door must have been heartbreaking, with the last of them being Thierry Henry you wonder if he felt trapped.

Then when a bit of promise started to show in the form of Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy backed up by the last of the seniors in Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor. Along came FC Barcelona and more importantly Manchester City, Kolo Toure, then Adebayor (the lazy git), followed by Clichy and Nasri, you can understand how his dislike for Manchester City came about. His dislike was ever present every time Arsenal met Manchester City, he made it personal on many an occasion against Adebayor, Nasri and most recently Balotelli ending in him being on the receiving end of retaliation. I knew from day one that if Manchester City went for the little crippled whiner, he would choose to turn us down. I for one am happy he ended up at United, 29 years old, injury stricken and one crack away from a career ending injury with the FFP ready to take hold is a damn huge gamble for one little title.

The only thing I regret us not doing, was not replacing Balotelli or at least not giving Guidetti a chance out on the wing.

I'd take 1 Sergio Aguero over 5 Van Purse Strings all day long.

Oh well, I hope the records keep those inbred rags warm at night when Fergy finally calls it a day, they are going to need all the warmth they can get their grubby little hands on. (you'd think the fall of Liverpool would have taught the rag fans a lesson, it's obvious they lack the intelligence to see past their own arrogance).

All the United fans and the United fan run websites, media and papers had been talking up how they had the title rapped up, thus insulting and dismissing Stoke City, West Ham, Aston Villa, Arsenal, Chelsea, Swansea and West Brom before they had even mathematically secured top spot. All those clubs were more than capable of taking points if not a win, their arrogance rears its ugly head each and every time United are in the driving seat.

The poor fools believe it's because of their clubs success?, the very same success they fail to realise was achieved before they even took their first gasp of air or barely out of nappies. Those rags that were trying to show caution were only doing so to not go through a repeat of last seasons HUGE disappointment and upset but again even their arrogance was starting to show.

I keep reminding myself as much as possible, never to allow myself to drop to their level. Arrogance is an ugly trait, Ignorance is equally another which they have in abundance.

Their arrogance is so infectious that any player joining their club immediately begin to schooling on how they should go about hating Liverpool and Manchester City. Rio Ferdinand's latest outburst only goes to show how arrogant they are, they've become so bitter that it is now part of their clubs fabric.

I never thought I'd see the day when a club taught their players to dive, I mean cheating is and unfortunately always will be a part of sport but blatantly cheating for everyone to see is just embarrassingly stupid. To the typical rag United fan its all part of the game and OK as long as it's them doing it and winning in the process, the second they lose while trying to cheat their way to a win and they attack their players for not getting away with it.

Well done to our club for congratulating the rags on their title win, we won't be seeing their club return the humble gesture. They have all but forgot that if it was not for Manchester City, their success could have easily gone in the other direction (if only we didn't help them out after World War II. I too wish to congratulate their club for the title win though don't believe I would have liked my club to win it that way myself.  I honestly don't think our Premier League title win will ever be bettered, the only way that would happen is if a club came out of nowhere with no money and snatched the title.

Don't hate them, Pity them.

Keep that trophy warm, clean and shiny for us, we'll be back next season to collect it from you.

League V City: Aston Villa Fallout, Season Perspective So Far

While I agree that our season so far has been a poor one, I also believe the rest of the Premier League need to hold their hands up in allowing United to run away with the title. United are nothing special and in fact they are the weakest of two decades of United squads, being propped up by an ageing Ryan Gigg's, saved by a one man band in the form of RVP and being kept from crumbling by an ever more ageing Fergy.

While all Premier League teams play against us like its a World Cup final and concentrate for a full 90 minutes (plus added Fergy time), they eventually roll over like whores for United and allow them to walk off laughing. Everyone bangs on about how the league has never been more stronger than it is now, well if that is true then why are teams not playing against United like they do against Manchester City?, I've rerun quite a few United games back this season and the opposition don't play at the same tempo or with the same effort as they do against us, so I know for a fact I'm not imagining it all.

Others that need to take some blame are referee's and linesmen, I'm sick and tired of seeing City get sucker punched by referee after referee getting the raw deal just because we're Manchester City. So much so that even if we do triumph against 15 men, I still find myself fuming at the officials in utter anger and disgust.

Most ignore the official's manipulation to balance the game when it's in favour, but as soon as it's against they crawl out of their holes screaming injustice. Well that's just not me because I preach that if there are rules, then they should be the same for all and not one for one and another for another. I see this as a problem in society, instead of keeping it simple you have some idiot mixing it up and manipulating the rules.

Against Villa we had N'zogbia bring his stubs down on Zabaleta in a kick and stamp action reserved for classics like Romper Stomper and The Warriors, Aston Villa were gifted a corner that never was and Villa's players were allowing free reign to climb all over City players. It was like watching a bloody rugby match half the time, even when Benteke was climbing all over Kolo Toure quite literally playing piggy back, Villa were given a free kick?

Aston Villa's call for a penalty was debatable considering their player were already unbalanced, so even if our player pulled out of the challenge he was still going down.

This is exactly why I am so proud of our players right now, they deserved that victory against a dirty side allowed to play dirty just because they're in a relegation battle. Referee's have one rule for everyone else and another for us, we even had a raw deal from the referee against Chelsea, in the end another victory fully deserving for our lads.

The way I see it is, so what if we fail to regain the title this season, it's pretty much United's last chance to win anything before Fergy retires. Can't wait to see the horror on United fans faces when he eventually does, despite the fact I hate the arrogant red nosed, bacon face Scot there is no one on the planet capable of replacing him.

Ill be happy to watch Aston Villa go down at the end of the season after hearing their fans boo a player in Gareth Barry after 11 years of service, Villa fans should be ashamed to be after that disgrace of a performance. 'You deserve to go down just for that'.

If our players continue to fight like we did against Chelsea and Villa, if they bring home the FA Cup and destroy United on their own soil ill be happy until the start of next season. Just when we were starting to see our investment Rodwell show his promise, Hope you get better and come back stronger soon Jack.

Kolo Toure 'wow' where did this come from, if it's the best shop window hes after then he's certainly got it.  Some solid performances against Chelsea and Villa. I doubt he will but if he kept this up until the end of the season, he would surely deserve one more year on his contract and deserves a mention.

Obviously I still want us to win the League from under the arrogant noses of imposter's United but I won't be disappointed with a 2nd place Champions League spot and the FA Cup in our trophy cabinet. Just knowing we will have the worlds best academy and education facilities in one to envy any youngster in the world, and knowing we now have the board to set things straight and get it right is satisfying.

I'm glad the anti Mancini media circus has calmed down, the media Muppet's have finally realised it was getting quite boring and pathetic. While not being too fussed if Mancini eventually leaves or not, I do want stability for the long term and we have the men in place to keep us on the right track from Barcelona.

If United never had the finances that made them the envy of English football in the first place, Fergy would have failed and been sacked back when United fans called for his head on a plate when he got it wrong (Yes even Fergy gets it wrong, but when he does fail its over looked because of United's success).

Bobby Manc has my support even if it's only for the good of our club and for stability.

Final thought: I've never had the opportunity of having a players name on the back of my shirt, despite not being a very successful club until now for my generation. We have always had the luxury of a good few players though, that proved a stumbling block when making a choice. I could never choose which one of my favourite players deserved their name on my back more out of Corrigan, Power, White, Quinn, Lake, Goater, Kinkladze, Rosler, Horlock, Dickov, Benarbia, SWP. Now its even harder, with players like Hart, Kompany, Zabaleta, Yaya, Aguero, Tevez and Silva I just can't choose so I settle for just a shirt on my back. How do you do it?

13 Premier League Clubs Hatred For City Make Hypocrites United Briefly Stronger, Well Done You Idiots

Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, Everton & Chelsea made up the top five idiots who have made United so much stronger than they were before, even if these stupid clubs do break even every year they will never have any chance of competing with Man United in the future.

The rest of the 13 stupid clubs were Newcastle United, Stoke City, West Ham, Norwich City, Wigan Athletic,  Sunderland and Queens Park Rangers.

Savvy Manchester City, Aston Villa, West Brom, Fulham, Swansea and Southampton opposed the Premier League FFP rules designed to stop Manchester and Chelsea from running at a loss while Reading sat on the fence.

Despite only just losing the vote to those 13 Muppet's, it forced the Premier League into altering the rules to accommodate all.

United clearly have the largest revenue being the biggest foreign supported club in the UK, which puts them in an even stronger position in the transfer market than they were before. City were enjoying transfer power for the last two seasons until now, but lets not forget the bigger picture.

City are well on their way to breaking even and complying with Uefa's FFP, so it's only a matter of one more season before we also comply with the Premier Leagues FFP.

So in my opinion all the other stupid 12 teams have done is, give United one more season of the upper hand, along with that they have given themselves no hope of ever competing with United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal or City now.

Tottenham, Everton, Newcastle United, Stoke City, West Ham, Norwich City, Wigan Athletic,  Sunderland and Queens Park Rangers have all allowed their bitter, jealous, envious hatred for City affect their vote.

There is nothing in the Premier Leagues FFP that benefit these nine clubs but they still voted for? equally there is nothing in the Premier Leagues FFP that will stop Manchester City from progressing. All it has done is force City to no spend large amounts in the transfer window until they break even, lets face facts that City will break even next season so what has been achieved exactly?

All you've done is briefly slow us down and given clubs like Liverpool and United a temporary hold in the transfer market.

A couple good reads for you!

Manchester City Confident Over New Rules

Fair Play?


I never thought there would come a day when I saw so many top flight club businesses be so ignorant and stupid, in allowing the Premier League to dictate and control our own clubs.

'NEWS FLASH', Nothing or no one is going to stop us now!

The Bitter And Greedy Over Priced Arselona Up Next, Guardiola To City?

Over at the Emeroids Stadium, Wanger and his young Gunnereers are charging us an arm and a leg to watch our own class act play against their over hyped average lot that continue to disappoint. Arsenlonar's fan base are in a right rotten pickle, it's obviously old news that they have a grudge against us for poaching a couple of their best players (the odd not so good) and winning the Premier League title with them.  But I never realised how bitterly upset they were, I've heard from a lot of Arse fans over the last few seasons but this season they have truly stepped the bitterness up a notch.

There are an abundance of Gunnereers now showing undying support for London United, their plan is for their club to do a number on us to kick start a winning run. But that's only half of it for they are also talking it up as a massive favour for United, so no doubt they will be hoping for United to also do a number on them won't they?.

Like United fans, Arselona's fans are a special breed aren't they, talk about beyond a joke or what!

The Guardiola rumour is picking up pace with yet another high profile name claiming he's on his way to Manchester City, too date that's Silvio Berlusconi with the latest being Hristo Stoichkov a close friend of Guardiola.

Now it would be easy to blame Mancini for the not so high profile purchases last season, it would also be wrong to blame Mancini because player acquisition was out of his hands. He gave his list of players he wanted to see arrive and he ended up with what exactly, a completely different choice of players. If questions were to be asked then they should be directed at the board.

Bobby Manc has had my full support from day one but I have to be honest and say our last showing in the Champions League did no good, so much so that that support has begun to wander. While I would be happy to see him stay if only for stability and the fact I've lived through enough coaches already, I would equally be happy to see Guardiola arrive.

If anything I want Mancini to succeed and City to defend the Premier League title, if he can't achieve that with our squad then so be it and bring in Guardiola.

Back to our next game against Arsenal, my prediction is City 3-1 Arsenal

We Don't Care What The Outsiders Think, To Care Shows Weakness

Do you honestly care what outsiders think about us City fans and Manchester City FC?, I certainly don't that's for sure.

In the wake of  the totally blown out of proportion clash between Bobby Manc and Balotelli at City's training ground, we see newspapers and media outlets jumping on the bandwagon. Claiming such words like negativity and disruption but to who exactly?

The latest idiot to wade in is Old Red Nose, Bacon Face over in Trafford, claiming his training ground restricts access to prevent such a scenario. While that may be true United had their fair share of negativity in the past by allowing the media access to United's Carrington training ground, that's right he acts all Mr perfect but he too often ended up in the papers due to training ground incidents. Hypocrites United aye!

I personally fully support media access to our training ground, so what if there's the show of negativity?. Life is not without its ups and downs in all walks, especially in sport considering those athletes are also only human themselves.

You can argue it gives the club bad press, a negative tag, it could affect moral and act as a warning sign to future targets in the transfer market. But I'd label you narrow minded and unrealistic with a lack of common sense, all football clubs around the world have their fair share of training ground incidents and none are immune to problems. When players move on they are not interested in whats happened on a training ground before they arrived, all clubs gather bad press in some way or another so none of this is new.

Over at the swamp they love hiding behind doors only to save face and pretend to look the perfect poxy club, they are a club that have lost their soul and their ways are ignorant to the world outside of sport.

We all new Balotelli was a fire cracker before he even joined us so why expect any different, the world are interested in what is going on at Manchester City so why not show them?

The only people branding it negative are people who hate Manchester City or who are worried about what other people think. It's not like we should have to change just to accommodate them is it, let them mouth off all they want and get on with it.

We have better things to deal with like taking another title off the pathetic club over in Trafford and the upcoming FA Cup games.

Time to shine Mr Balotelli, get your act in gear!

Reading Deserved Nothing For Parking The Bus, Brian McDermott Should Go Back To Selling Insurance

Well deserved 3 points for our lads against a boring and predictable Reading FC, seriously if that's your game then you deserve to be relegated.

In my opinion Reading deserved nothing from this game, they turned up to do nothing but park the bus and pinch a goal. The most boring stunt to ever grace the world of football, 11 players behind the ball for the majority of the game. Pavel Pogrednyak spelt it out to Skysports, they feared being humiliated so they parked the bus.

Their manager Brian McDermott claims on Reading's official website, that the decision to rule out Gareth Barry's goal was ridiculous?, what just because Gareth Barry came out on top against a not so intelligent Nicky Shorey?

If they want to start pointing fingers then Reading FC need to educate their own players on how to not man handle their opponents for a whole 94 minutes, Reading should have at least had one player sent off and a few more yellows to boot.

Like I said earlier if Reading want to play that game, then they deserve to be relegated. Despite the fact I have no liking for the Geordie's, Reading could learn a lot from Newcastle United.

Reading feel hard done by don't they, well they will continue to do so if they continue to park buses and insult their travelling fans with nothing but boring football. What was with the extra minute at the end?, 4 minutes of added time but the whistle was blown at 95 minutes while conveniently Reading sat in City's half?

Great performance from our lads apart from not being clinical enough in the final third, Karim Rekik did extremely well at left wing back. Not his natural position may I add, and without a natural left winger in front of him.

We keep the pressure on United and they will soon crack and crumble, Christmas is looking pretty good so far.

Xmas Special: Man United Bitter Much, Ha Ha Ha Ha Meeeeerry Christmas

When you thought you'd seen it all Alex Fungalson over at the swamp stoops to an all new bitter low by suggesting United deserve all the credit for Manchester City winning the Premier League title.

"It was another day in the history of Manchester United. That’s all it was. It created the drama that only United can produce."I’ve still got a wee bit of anger in me, thinking of how we threw the league away last season." 

Now the fact he is angry makes me all warm inside, just the tonic for a great Christmas." Throwing away the league is extremely delusional considering his pathetic little two bit club had help from the FA and referee's. They wrongfully red carded Vincent Kompany in the Derby, Gareth Barry against Liverpool and Mario Balotelli red carded and banned after the game had finished for a genuine and unavoidable accident on Van Percie.

I seem to recall United and Liverpool getting extra special treatment from the referees and linesmen on those two occasions. Three key players in Manchester City's squad banned from playing at pivotal moments in last seasons title race, then there was Ashley Young's blatant dives live on TV for the whole world to see that won United two games they probably should have never even won.

I could go on but Alex Fungalson's claims are just so hilarious I just can't stop chuckling. In my opinion if the right players were punished and the wrong players not punished, then Manchester City would have won that league title probably by 9 to 12 points easily.

I picked a few snippets from the Telegraph which also made me chuckle, first the delusion of a typical rag United fan.

 "Pat Connor, Manchester United fan at Sunderland:"I’m 74 now and have watched United all my life, but in all that time, I have never seen anything as despicable as the behaviour of the Sunderland fans when City scored. They were all singing City songs and doing the ‘Poznan’ at the end. I just thought it was disgusting, especially as we have given them about five or six players in recent seasons. The feeling I had at the end of the game was that I just wanted United to hammer Sunderland whenever they play them again." 

 A bitter 74 year old seasoned United fan provides evidence that the rag mentality really does run deep, so United have given away players to Sunderland?. If a player is truly free then hes a Bosman, in which case the second he becomes a Bosman he's no longer owned by his old club. So either United have been illegally drafting players off to a club for free under our noses, or this idiot of a United fan has it in his head that Sunderland owed United for the players they bought off them with cash. (I always knew they were a delusional bunch).

 Phil Jones, Manchester United player:"We thought we’d done it, then we hadn’t – it was crazy. You went from high to low in the space of about ten seconds. I just remember the manager telling us after the game: ‘Always remember this experience and don’t let it happen again."

Confirming they believed they had wrapped up the title before the season ended, in which case they actually did deserve the Sunderland fans reaction for being so arrogant (another trait that seems to run deep over at the swamp).

 Merry Christmas to City fans and all those at Manchester City FC, hope you all have a great one!

The FA Are Corrupt And One Sided, Have Favouritism Towards Hypocrites United, Players Provoking Fans Need A Wake Up Call

Gareth Barry is being charged by the FA for verbal abuse towards a match official, yet Wayne Rooney is not being charged for provoking Manchester City fans. That's right Rooney ran towards the City faithful sliding in front of them on his knees, the same thing Adebayor did in front of Arsenal fans only Adebayor was charged for the exact same offence.

Saying that United's fans are up in arms about Rio Ferdinand being hit by a coin, they have extremely short memories those cretins do. I seem to remember projectiles being thrown by United fans at many a City player in the past, the FA have never done a thing about it when it happened because it's their love child United.

I never support violence when innocent people are involved, but then Rio Ferdinand is not an innocent party now is he. He is always on twitter like a few other United players mouthing off. They believe they can say what they like when they like and expect to get away with it, this is what is wrong with society in this day and age.

Players continue to needlessly provoke fans, Wayne Rooney is one of those players who continuously provokes and gets away with it, they need to be reminded that if they play with fire they will eventually get burnt. The human race only has a certain amount of patience and reasoning, you continually provoke anyone and eventually they will react.

I'm sorry but I think Rio Ferdinand needed a wake up call, shame Wayne Rooney did not learn the same lesson too. Like I said I don't promote violence but the fans are not the only guilty party here, people need to wake up because a world without violence doesn't and will probably never exist unfortunately.

As far as the Derby goes, it's still early days and is pretty insignificant, let the morons have their day because come the end of the season they could well be smiling on the other side of their faces. A freshen up is on the cards at City guys and girls, we have an exciting new year to look forward too, mark my words.

Ignore what's going on now in the papers etc and have a very merry Christmas and an even more happy New Year City fans.

Cristiano Ronaldo?, City's New Additions And The Slow Start Of 2012

Cristiano Ronaldo, with all the talk of his falling out with his fellow Real Madrid team mates, it was and is inevitable he would eventually be linked with Manchester City. Well I would not want this ponce at City, even if Real Madrid offered him to us for 1 gloriously shined up British penny. I like every other seasoned City fan love to have one up on the rags (United), but this is one situation I'd pass up anytime.

I would rather he rot in Madrid or go to a rival like Chelsea, than see him insult and tarnish a Manchester City shirt. I couldn't care less if he was the best player in the world, not that he is because there is only one Lionel Messi.

Do one Ronaldo and never set foot in Manchester, you could always go back to Trafford, though I highly doubt they could afford you unless they sold half their stinking team.

Richard Wright, a journey man yet very experienced 34 year old goalkeeper obviously drafted in as third choice, to push Joe Hart and Costel Pantilimon on (Costel could do with learning from Wright's valuable experience, something Joe Hart did with David James etc).

Douglas Maicon (Sisenando), Right wing back who can also play center back flanked by Kompany and Lescott in City's 352 system, he makes for a very experienced international anchor.

Scott Sinclair, I remember when this lad was nabbed from under Bristol Rovers, I said he was wasting his career joining a club who at the time had more than enough wingers.  Yet to set fire to the English Premier League but given time and with world class talent around him, I am confident we will come good in the end.

Matija Nastasic, a young and promising center back which is exactly what we needed after seeing Stefan Savic fail big time, looking forward to watching this lad mature, with Kolo Toure getting on now and talk of him possibly leaving it was important to get in this promising young lad.

Jack Rodwell, while I kind of felt it sad to watch Nigel Dejong depart, I also thought it a good buy bringing in Rodwell. He got a lot of stick for not living up too his old clubs hype, but in my opinion could not improve anymore around mostly average talent at Everton. He needed a step up to improve his game and I am totally confident he will come good, he is already starting to make an impact making a few key tackles and interceptions.

Javi Garcia (Francisco Javier García Fernández for short), like Rodwell another Defensive Midfielder. This is the signing I was praying would go through, and sure enough it did, having two defencive mids would free up Yaya Toure to attack, attack attack. Gareth Barry still has a few more years yet but at 31, he can't be relied on too fight on all fronts for us (FA Cup, League Cup (formally, Carling Cup), Premier League and Champions League).

On that note Gareth Barry is making a strong come back from injury, I'm predicting he should be back in 2 weeks time.

On the season thus far all I can say is, if we can play sloppy football and still not lose then imagine us when we're firing on all cylinders. Actually it's rather refreshing seeing us play badly while still picking up points, a whole lot better than playing with spirit and heart only to get stepped on.

I want to say a personal thank you to Manchester City Football Club, from myself and on behalf of my aunt for looking after her so well on match days.

Two Reasons Why, TIOC's Top Ten Worst, The 352 And Less Is More

Two more reasons why Manchester City won the league title a year early

The outsiders were branding our players mercenary money grabbers and accusing Mancini of not being good enough, I believe that encouraged our club on to prove them wrong and shove it back down their throats.

The outsiders were accusing our club of selling our soul and having no class and team spirit, I again believe this only pushed our players on giving strength to prove the critics wrong.

TIOC's top ten all time worst footballing role models for our children

Wayne Rooney, Joey Barton, Roy Keane, El Hadji Diouf, Duncan Ferguson, Vinnie Jones, John Terry, Ashley Cole, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham.

Ill leave you to guess why?

The new City 352 system to increase the effectiveness of our passing game

The five man midfield comprising of three midfielders flanked by 2 wing backs seems to be working, when on the back foot one wing back drops back into the full back position creating a 442. Or both wing backs can drop back creating a 5 man defence thus giving us an extra man.

With this system you need fit and strong wing backs which Manchester have in Zabaleta, Richards, Clichy and Kolarov, but the real positive in the 352 system is the increased effectiveness of our passing game.

Clubs have now worked us out so they try to disrupt our passing game by clogging midfield and parking the bus in defence, playing the counter attack any given chance they get. Carlos Tevez loves dropping back deep as you can see in pre season and he has made it known that he is as happy as he has ever been, this allows Sergio Aguero more space to exploit upfront. 

When Tevez drops deep he pulls the opponents centre back out of position to allow Aguero even more space, while a 5 man midfield dictates play by pinning the opposing side back. The extra man in midfield allows for us to play our passing game more effectively, even if our opponents man mark we still outnumber them in midfield when our 3 defenders push up field.

The bonus here is that despite the lack of outside wingers at Manchester, we can still gain the width we were lacking last season by using the 352.

Lack of signings vs a whole new list of signings

Take a look at the situation in a more positive way, a lack of signings is only a bad situation if you lack playing staff. Manchester City had the strongest side in the English top flight last season, we still have the strongest this coming season in my opinion despite Chelsea and United signing more players.

As we know full well it takes time for a player to find his feet and hit top form in football, so Chelsea and United should find themselves in a bit of bother this season. So with that said I believe we should run away with the title this season, the only reasons I believe would deny us would be a mass of unlucky injuries or a bad run of draws and losses.

A lack of signing on Manchester's part means hardly any interruptions within  a squad that already know each other very well, an invigorated side much improved on the title winning side of 2012. A side now with width and cunning, A side put through their paces to think fast and change formation when instantly called upon.

More signings will unbalance more often than not and I believe we only lack one key position to be filled now, we need a proven centre back to push and compete with Lescott. Gutted we let Bayern (stuck up snotty nose) Munich capture Javi Martinez without any fight, but hear we may be looking at Uruguay International Diego Godin.

TIOC Catch Up, The Media Never Let Up, Nir Biton Promising, Carlos Tevez Rejuvenated, Adam Johnson's Fresh Start

From David Silva being tapped up by Real Madrid to Carlos Tevez being chased by AC Milan,  will they ever stop talking a load of tripe and actually do their job properly instead of writing up rubbish to sell papers and increase traffic?


The last to be touted was Nigel Dejong to Bayern Munich, but every die hard Manchester City fan knew he was not on tour because of an injury. That didn't stop the media painting the picture that he was being left at home due to interest from Munich. I mean who they trying to kid aye! Took at least two weeks before a representative of Bayern Munich poked his head out of their hole, to deny any interest in or contact with Dejong or Manchester.


Just watched the Arsenal, Manchester game held in Deijing at the 2008 Olympic birds nest stadium, supposed to be a friendly match but Arsenal were once again gunning for as much revenge as they could get.


City played the patient game while Arsenal chased, in the second half we allowed Arsenal to play their game giving them too much space and still they could not break a defence consisting of our fringe players. They pretty much reserved themselves to long range shots, quite strange listening to the commentator pronouncing their names one after the other. The majority of their British youth must be at the bottom of the barrel.


Anyways the same can't be said for Manchester, England striker Harry Bunn is patiently waiting for his chance to shine, while the giant of a trialist, 20 year old Israeli Nir Biton impressed us all. A defencive midfielder by trade showed some clean attacking threat against the Arse, you could say class prevailed over Arse.


Nice to hear Carlos Tevez settle in once more but I am under no illusion it will last until the end of his playing career. At least for now he and his family are happy, he's enjoying football once again and willing to knuckle down and help Manchester achieve more success.


Good to hear Adam Johnson pledge a fresh start, ready to improve more and concentrate on contributing to the team. He has stated he has no intention of quitting Manchester, lets hope he can cut out the wild nights out. "We won the title, which was the main thing, but you want to feel you've played a part


I start my bid for the 2014 World Cup from now".

Double Celebration For Me, Is There Any Other 2012 City Babies Out There, Micah Richards Deserves Better

Apologies for the lack of activity here on This is our City, after witnesssing our beloved Manchester City lift the 11/12 English Premier League title. I have had the opportunity of seeing my son born on 20th May at 20:43, another generation of Manchester City fan and my first born. I can't wait for the second Lucas Brian Halfpenny can kick a ball, he did a lot of kicking before he entered our world and a lot of kicking on entry.

Although I would not have been disappointed either way, I were praying we had a boy agreeing with my fiancee that we would not know until his arrival. Unfortunately I lost my best man and father in April 2011 to cancer, but got the opportunity to tell him we were trying and that his grandson would be named after his granddad. You couldn't guess my reaction at finding out it was a boy, I didn't know whether to cheer or cry due to being in total shock. My head was spinning, stomach doing somersaults and my legs were like jelly, how that translates into joy beats me but joyous I was.

When old enough to understand I will enjoy telling my son the year he was conceived we won the FA Cup, and the year he was born we won the English title. His first real book will be the entire history of Manchester City along with a folder of his ancestry, his great auntie will be sure to get Lucas his first City kit.

On to City matters and ignoring the Daily Rag amongst all other dubious papers, we can look forward to a very exciting summer transfer window. I won't speculate on who we will end up with, but what is obvious is that we will end up with at least four or five new and improved acquisitions having released Owen Hargreaves as well as 20 year old England Midfielder Ahmad Benali following an unsuccessful step up and the more surprising release of Israeli winger Gai Assulin.

I would like to wish them all the best of luck for the future, Ahmad and Gai were part of our Elite development (reserve side) so will not be counted as first team casualties. However I believe these players are probabilities or possibilities for departure.

Wayne Bridge (probable), Nigel Deyong (possible), Alex Nimely (possible), Greg Cunningham (probable), Emmanuel Adebayor (probable), Roque Santa Cruz (probable), Aleksandar Kolarov (possible)

I think we will see an increase of youth step up from academy and reserves for the 12/13 season, in all probability John Guidetti stepping up into our first team unless loaned out again. French Mid Jeremy Helan, England striker Harry Bunn and Italian Mid Luca Scapuzzi not far behind.

The moment United realised Manchester City had won the title 'Classical, couldn't have been done in a better way, big thanks to Sunderland fans for their support against United'.



What is going on at the FA with the wrongful punishment being dealt to Micah Richards?, does he have to sweat blood and rip out his finger nails to even get a sniff in?

In my opinion Micah is the best English right back in the world at present, I mean he plays for the Champions of England and two lesser fullbacks from clubs not even in the top three English clubs get a call up for England. Now that to me is wrong on a sickening level, first Micah gets ousted by the FA and Capello, now he gets ousted by the FA and Hodgson. There seems to be a pattern growing there and I just don't like it, what has Micah Richards done to warrant such an insult and injustice?

If I didn't know better I'd start a petition to have Micah called up instantly, only I know that half the population of my country probably wouldn't give a toss, then there's a portion of rags who would also not give a toss so what would be the point.

I give up on supporting my home country England despite having more players than any other club called up, I'd rather none of them play for England if Micah is continuously exiled.

OK ye Gary frigging Neville as an England coach WTF, coaches are supposed to be respectable and rat face is the opposite. If I was a City player playing for England the last thing I would want, was that stinking big mouthed hypocrite as a coach.

Unfortunately we do not stop our players from playing for their national side like McDonald'ster United, I think ill be spending the time I would supporting England with my son. I think Micah deserves a lot of respect for being humble enough to wish Glen Johnson and Kyle Walker well, I certainly wouldn't after winning a league title and being so sickeningly snubbed.

Here's to hoping our International players all come back fit and well, wishing them all the best of luck.

If you have had a City baby born this historical year then. why not celebrate by recording their birth here in a comment below.

Manchester City Owe Hughes Nothing, City Only Spent What United Forced, Monopoly Broken Again, City Title Win Would Devastate United

QPR defender Clint Hill believes his club will park the bus against us, after beating Stoke by one goal. “Stoke was our game of the season, and now we need to put the whole bus in front of Manchester City and see what happens.”

I'm just intrigued to find out how many of our ex players line up against us, right now the rags in the media are spinning it as we owe Mark Hughes for mistreating him. In my opinion Hughes wouldn't be where he is now at QPR if it wasn't for the chance Manchester City gave him to showcase himself and take the next step up, just like how Stuart Pearce were given the chance to step up thus becoming England's under 21 coach to date.

Manchester City owes Mark Hughes nothing what so ever, if anything Mark Hughes owes Manchester City. Through Mark Hughes Queens Park Rangers have gained more than one player via his time at  Manchester City, Nedum Onuoha, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Joey Barton of which two of three served us well and helped keep us in the Premier League.

Hilarious reading that Joey Barton still has some kind of point to prove against us, well maybe not to us but to himself because we all know hes just an average big mouthed Joe. 'Loved watching our club kick the loser waste of space to the curb'.

Queens Park Rangers has a finger in United with the loan of Macheda, clearly having Mark Hughes has it's benefit aye, thanks to his stint at Manchester City. If anyone honestly thinks QPR would have targeted Hughes without his OK but not great stint at City, then they're clearly delusional.

There is no other way to break the elite monopoly than to spend and spend huge, due to United inflating the British transfer market.  1991/92 Paul Parker £2 million, Dion Dublin £1 million, Eric Cantona £1.2 million when most clubs were paying no more than £500.000.

Roy Keane for £3.75 Million in 1993 followed by David May in 1994 for £1.4 million, then in 1995 Andy Cole for £6 million followed by a long line of other players between £1 to £5 million.

Then came the price hike and over inflation of English football, first Jaap Stam for £10.75 million, Dwight Yorke for £12.6 million in 1998, followed by Fabian Barthez for £7.8 million in 2000, Van Nistelrooy for £19 million, Veron for £28.1 million, Forlan for £7.5 million and then Rio Ferdinand for £30 million.

United have spent hundreds of millions on footballers since the reign of Alex Ferguson started. since 1986 Fergy has spent over £500.000.000 and United have been buying glory just like every other elite club.

In 1980-1981 United spent £4.780.000, In 1982-1985 United spent £2.595.000, In 1986-1889 United have spent £14.970.000, In 1990-1999 United have spent £69.445.000, In 2000-2007 United have spent £209.400.000, In 2008-2011 United have spent £61.750.000

The transfer fees of Pique, Possebon, Obertan, Biran Diouf, Manucho, the Da Silva brothers are unknown, Those Known totalling £355.565.000 since Fergies reign. This does not include all of the youth United have poached from other clubs either. Rough guess would be over £600.000.000 in the past three decades.

Makes me laugh when the rags talk about class after trying to publicly humiliate Manchester City on the anniversary of the Munich disaster by claiming our fans would dishonour the lost, only for the whole world to witness the truth and for City fans to represent our club the way we always have done.

So what if we buy titles and trophies and enjoy it while doing so, we're only doing what other clubs have forced us to do.

We should not under estimate the power of knocking someone off their perch, when Arsenal and Chelsea did so United went out and spent big money. So if City or any other club besides United dominated English football for the next say 5 years, United would not just be devastated on the outside but also on the inside.

They have only been able to spend so much because of the Glazers addiction to loaning cash and the clubs revenue, Now that the FFP will kick in it will be harder for United to spend big.  Most of their past income has come from successful runs in the Champions League and Premier League title wins, without that the plastics will eventually become disorientated, disappointed which will in turn affect match day revenue. The debt will increase, even more so if they continue to try compete with Manchester in the transfer market.

Right now all the rags I know and hear are in denial of their clubs situation, they believe they are where they are right now because they deserve to be. They use excuses like how they are and have been missing key men  for most part of the season which is a fair comment, but fail to point out the extreme favouritism they have received from referees when they should have lost and drawn far more games than they actually did.

In my opinion without the help of those referees, United would be fighting with Arsenal and quite possibly Spurs right now. Which is why winning the Premier League title will be all the more sweeter, after decades of bile at the hands if United fans its kind of surreal but uplifting to see us turning the table.

A win over Queens Park Rangers will severely put a spanner in United's works, the only thing I hope is that it is not at the expense of QPR being relegated. It's games like this that put football into perspective, with one club fighting for survival and the other fighting for glory.

I still look back on our relegation days to give me continued perspective, some great memories including all those promotion battles. If I could go back and change the history for our club, I would not change one single thing because our past is what makes us who we are.

Our history grounds and defines us to this very day, the majority of United fans in this day and age have never even experienced relegation or extreme disappointment. But that's all about to change with the eventual departure of Alex Ferguson and a successful Manchester City being the catalyst, we will always have our history to guide us no matter what happens but the same can't be said for United who have for far too long dominated English football with cold hard cash.

On that note you will be happy to know that United and their fans will be wearing Tartan Tea Towels and Table Cloths next season. They can use the Tea Towels to soak up all the disappointment, but the Table Cloths are a bit late because the damage has already been done.

Sunderland's Lee Cattermole has promised United will not get an easy ride at the Stadium of Light, that's the least we expect considering, not that we need their help like United do. The rags be them ex or not are at it again demanding respect, ex rag John O'shea believes they deserve more respect than Mancini has shown Sunderland. When will they ever learn that respect is a two way street aye?, United respect no one what so ever which is why they are detested by as many if not more than their own fan base.

Beat United at the Stadium of Light on Sunday and I may consider showing you the respect you will deserve, lose to United after you have beaten us at your home ground and drawn at ours and you deserve absolutely no respect what so ever.

Good luck to our lads against Queens Park Rangers on Sunday, do us proud like you have been doing and bring home a well deserved Premier League title.

A few stats since the year I were born of 1975: City v Qpr: City wins: 14 Qpr wins: 12 Draws: 15

The highest scoring match between the two clubs were in 1951 which ended 5-2 to City

What Goes Around Comes Around, Nike And Our New Club Development

To all those spuds who mocked us when beating us to Champions League football a while back, I bet you're now praying we beat Newcastle on Sunday aren't you? considering they could knock you off 4th spot. I seem to remember a lot of loud mouth spuds on here, I wonder what they are thinking right now?

Earlier this season they were on about how their team where back in form and ready to knock us out of 2nd,  funny how things turn out aye!

Kompany was wrongly red carded against United after he slid in making contact with the ball but not the United player, considering that red card United had it well and truly coming I would say. It was hilarious watching Vinny put the ball in the back of the net and claim vengeance for his criminal sending off.

After a very good few seasons with Umbro, Manchester City's success has opened the door for Nike who are currently the biggest global sporting brand.  Though my question is can they pick up where Umbro left off, It would be a shame if Nike fail to live up to the quality of Umbro's fantastic collection of City kits. (I personnally like the cotton look and feel over synthetic).

Nike details here

After not giving in to that muppet of a rags demands (his attempt to sell the plots of land to his fellow fans failed after none of them bothered), we finally have the go ahead to develop our new academy and training facilities etc and the work has started.

United Fan Howard Webb To Officiate Our Newcastle Game, They Could Not Make It Up

Or could they?

Although they have a habit of lying through their back teeth, The Daily Rag aka Mail are reporting that Howard Webb has been chosen by Dave Richards and David Gill at the FA, to officiate our game against Newcastle up next on the 6th May. It's time our lads gather to beat Uniteds 12th man to put Howard Webb in his place once and for all, as we have done so far with United.

South Yorkshire born Howard Webb is known to be Alex Ferguson's favourite official, the records show Howard Webb favours United. It is a loop hole that the FA are using to its full potential, I don't care what anyone says for all referees have their alliegences. If not by support for one club, then by dislike for others, lets not lose sight that these officials are flesh and blood just like us.

Howard Webb's most recent act for United was the Parker/Balotelli incident, he stood ten or so foot away looking in the same direction and witnessed the whole thing choosing to not book Balotelli because it was an unfortunate accident.

Webb then commited the ultimate sin and went back on his decision claiming he did not see the incident, then replying that he would have sent Balotelli off had he seen the incident. Resulting in the FA led by Dave Richards and David Gill (United fans), wrongfully punishing Manchester City and Balotelli by banning him for three games.

Now they choose to utilize Howard Webb when we face Newcastle at the SPORTS DIRECT ARENA, how obvious can you get when choosing the one official that has a track record of bias against Manchester City. It's time our club show the FA that we will not be beaten, its time our lads show that we will not be pushed around by this inbred Webb anymore.

Beat the 12th man and we will truly deserve to win the title, theres nothing more to be said by me other than they will do or try anything to stop us.

Trafford United Vs Pride Of Manchester, United Throw Toys Out Their Pram After losing To Manchester

In my previous article I predicted that Wayne Rooney was more likely to dive/go down easily ahead of Ashley Young, Rooney proved me to be correct after theatrically throwing his heels back up into the air to land on his knees.

Resulting in getting Captain Vincent Kompany yellow carded by Andre Marriner, the only time he pulled out a card for United was when he were left with absolutely no choice. But as soon as I City player did the slightest little thing the cards came out.

Which is why I am so so proud of our lads for beating the twelfth man once again and achieving the double, over what I believe to be a bunch of stuck up, arrogant and childish, cheating sore losers over at the swamp. evidence?

Paul Scholes trying to head butt Yaya Toure because Toure kept him in his pocket all night, it was hilarious watching him try to stand on his toes to gain a bit more height. In the 9th minute United players threw their hands up in the air claiming Vincent Kompany handled the ball in the 18 yard area, trying to claim a penalty but the ball clearly hit Kompany's chest.

Rooney reminded me of Kevin from Kevin and Perry Go Large having a tantrum, loved every second of watching him throw his hands up in the air all frustrated. Ferguson accusing Mancini of badgering officials after Mancini having every right to show his frustration at Andre Marriner showing favouritism towards United, clearly Ferguson saw this as undermining Uniteds advantage.

Our other two yellow cards came from Nigel Dejong tangling with Welbeck, nothing malicious and looked completely accidental to me with Dejong off balance as Welbeck nudged him aside. The third when Yaya Toure bounced the ball on the ground in frustration, I mean how the F does that warrant a yellow card?

Up until the last 30 minutes (including 5min Fergy time), United were given advantage by Andre Marriner but our lads battled on for every ball trying to close down every United player, it was not until the 68th minute that United started to get frustrated thus starting to lose their patience at one goal down.

On the 69th minute Jones was booked for a blatant and wild challenge on Gareth Barry, it was in the 76th minute that Dejong and Welbeck collided and Fergy jumped out of his seat to square up with Mancini. Then around the 78th minute mark Michael Carrick blatantly fouled Gareth Barry right in front of Fergy and he just sat there like butter wouldn't melt. (Fergy the biggest hypocrite in world football)

Gareth Barry was clearly being targeted by United and I totally understand why, he was absolutely amazing controlling the midfield and releasing Yaya Toure to attack. That's what United do to you see, they target the most influential player(s) when they get frustrated. Gareth Barry, Vincent Kompany and Yaya Toure in our case, which is why I didn't question Mancini's choice to take off Carlos Tevez for Nigel Dejong.

Bobby Manc was on top form and kept Fergy in his pocket, very active in his technical area, he marshalled our lads on to win the biggest derby of my era.

Our defending was world class with Kompany and Lescott keeping the over rated Wayne Rooney quiet all night, United only achieved 2 shots off target giving Joe Hart very little to do in that aspect.

They did however claim as many crosses as we did, unable to break us down or cause us any real danger. We on the other hand achieved 7 shots off target and 3 shots on target.

I will say this much about referee Andre Marriner, although he showed a little favouritism towards United. He also allowed both sides to play their own game rather than continuously slow play down gifting United advantage like other referees.

All in all a top class performance from all our lads and a very well deserved win to cap off an absolutely breath taking season.

Our Pass rate was 85% compared to Uniteds 81%
Our Fouls won 14 compared to Uniteds 11
Our Fouled conceded 11 compared to Uniteds 15

For us to win the title now we will have to continue to out score United and take this performance into our last 2 games against QPR and Newcastle.

A United fan smashed the window of our Manchester City store on Market Street, a man was arrested but no information on that just yet.

United are claiming that England International Danny Welbeck is having to wear a special sock, to protect the injury he apparently picked up after Dejong tackled him THOUGH WELBECK MANAGED TO PLAY ON FOR 19 MINUTES WITH THE SO CALLED INJURY?

Now we all know this United tactic don't we, say a player is injured only for it to appear as nothing but a hoax.

Other news: Manchester City have the green light to develop our £100m training complex along side our Etihad Stadium.

Derby Day Laugh: Nani Gets In First Excuse, Uefa Threaten Us And Fergy States The Obvious, Will Young Dive?, The Argentine Connection

Well well well Fergies gagging order didn't last long now did it, with Nani apparently blasting his team mates by claiming they should be ashamed of themselves for letting City back in the title fight. It's not only United fans that are arrogant, they're players as just as much if not more, also deluded into believing that they carry with them the supernatural spirit of players past. I can hear those rags right now, "You only won the league because we let you".

Legendary loud mouths and saddo's Bryan Robson and Paddy Crerand have collaborated with urrrrm who?, only some unknown Malaysian sensation and winner of the Asian Pop Idol. A song recorded for the Manchester derby (sad), spun as some kind of fundraiser for cancer research.

OK its a cause I support myself but it masks the pathetic and sad reality that is, they actually believe it will make a difference for United in the derby. The song they chose to murder was 'You raise me up', as they say "A tribute to United's legends'. How desperate can you really get.

Apparently we and Chelsea have been warned by Europe's governing body that, if we spend big we will be restricted in Europe and possibly banned. So no threats for United then?, or Real Madrid? or both Milan clubs either? nor Bayern Munich?, like none of those clubs can spend big.

I believe it's just an empty threat designed for the easily led, unfortunately we're not easily led and certainly not in a position were we need to spend big anyway. By my calculation we should be able to wrap up four or five superstars for around £80 million and then sell a few players for about £60 million, add to that the revenue for this season and the final standings in the league and we our living well within our means.

Old red nose bacon face fergy claims that if we beat United we will deserve to win the title, I highlight the word 'deserve'. Even before a derby ball is kicked I believe we deserve to win the title far more than United do, after all the only reason United are still in the race is due to the back hand help they have received from referees while referees continuously punished City in the final third.

Will Ashley Young dive against us in the derby?, it made me laugh hearing Fergy lightly roast Ashley Young for diving after he dived for a second time. Fergy damn well knows the FA will not punish England players who they deem indispensable,  which is why Fergy allowed Wayne Rooney to dive so much. Which is why I don't think Ashley young will dive, I believe the threat is more likely to come from Wayne Rooney the master of diving and teacher to Cristiano Ronaldo and now Ashley Young.

Behind the scenes our club are in search for the cream of the crop of youth talent, but there also seems to be another plan in motion.  Carlos Tevez now lives with his wife and girls just around the corner from fellow Arge Pablo Zabaleta, and is only a phone call away from fellow Arge Sergio Aguero when in need of a golf buddy.

Will Tevez finally decide to stay on at City now that he seems happy and settled?, I certainly hope so for he still is in my opinion one of the best strikers in the world. Not to mention the fact United fans absolutely hate that he has been given a second chance, every second of seeing Tevez happy in a City shirt is just pure agony for the rags.

I have full confidence that our Argentine fire power will do the job and tie United in knots.

Fergies upset because he feels the Financial Fair Play rules will fail due to loop holes (naaaaarrrrrr really?), hoping the FFP would hinder City and Chelsea while stop anyone else from rising as fast as Manchester City have done.

Comon City, Comon City!

Good luck lads and make us proud!
