Au revoir Samir, bon voyage et bonne chance.

I held off on writing about the departure of Samir Nasri from Manchester City because I have, probably like most of you, mixed feelings about his time with us. Moving to the Turkish side, Antalyaspor, Nasri has been on the outside looking in for a couple of seasons now. It wasn’t always like that though […]

Over the past couple of days I have covered with the build up to Manchester City’s first Premier League game, for the season, at the Etihad. Saturday I gave you some of the history of the fixture, results and players both clubs have shared. Yesterday I dealt with the two ex Barcelona team mates, who […]

Joey and Ronnie: Johan’s prodigal sons clash at the Etihad

Early years: On the 21st of March 1963 in Zaandam, not far from Amsterdam, Ronald Koeman was born. Two days later Manchester City would visit his current side, Everton. The hosts on that day would win 2-1, go onto lift the Division One title and finish above Tottenham by six points (impressive as only two points […]

Pep’s Knock, Knock, Knocking On Evans Door.

In recent days news has gathered pace regarding Pep Guardiola and his targeted player for the center back position. It’s fair to say opinions were divided over the possibility of Jonny Evans coming to the Blues. Some fans thought a side like Manchester City should be aiming higher than Jonny Evans, the Manchester United reject. […]

Points For Pep To Ponder After Blanquivermell Defeat

After the pre-season tour of America, and the friendly against West Ham we were all ready for the start of the new season. Struggling to break down Brighton was a concern but grinding out a victory, while keeping a clean sheet, was a positive. A trip to Girona was arranged and followed that opening game. […]

Ilkay And Blue Mendy To Benefit From Spanish Formacion!

The opening day of the Premiership season was, at times, both frustrating and sublime. For Manchester City fans that’s similar to the whole of last season. Eventually the blues would get the three points, two goals and keep the clean sheet. Kyle Walker impressed but there was still that concern over not converting our chances. […]

Man City: Coasting At The Coast

After the weekends other top six sides facing scares I must admit I was a little nervous how my very own Manchester City would fare. Liverpool had fought back twice away to Watford to a winning position before ending with just the single point. Defending Champions lost at home while Arsenal had also struggled, although they […]

A Deal For Rose Would Smell As Sweet

With the Premier League season getting ready to restart, Tottenham Hotspurs Danny Rose interview has thrown his club a curve ball, and Manchester City would be foolish not to consider putting in a bid. Across the City, at United, Mourinho made clear to Gareth Bale that the reason he couldn’t move for the Welshman was […]

Premier League Matchday One: Brighton (Away)

After what was a really good pre-season, Saturday will see what Manchester City have to offer this season. Away on the first day against a newly-promoted side is not as easy as it might seem on paper as many other established clubs have found out over the years. Last season, newly-promoted Hull City secured a […]

25 Years Of The Premier League Manchester City 2008-17

August 15th 2017 will mark the 25th anniversary of the English Premier League. Manchester City have been there for most of that time and actually the history neatly separates us into three nice segments. The first, which I will look at today, are the seasons from the Premier League beginning up until our relegation in […]
