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 […]
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 […]
After a hard fought opening day victory away to a newly promoted Brighton, City now turn their attention to a more familiar adversary. Ronald Koeman brings his much improved Everton side along the M62 to the Etihad. The meeting on Monday night will be the 183rd meeting between the clubs in all competitions since the first […]
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. […]
Manchester City are scheduled to return back to the UK later on today. With the Spanish trip wrapping up the focus turns to the game on Monday night. Everton, led by Ronald Koeman, will visit the Etihad looking to make a statement against a title favorite. There will be more on that game as the […]
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. […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
