Born on this day over a century ago, Joe Mercer still remains Manchester City’s most successful post war Manager to date. His haul of trophies over the five and a bit seasons at the helm at City is made all that more impressive when you consider his first season with the club was in the […]
It will be a waiting game now for Manchester City before the Court of Arbitration for Sport rules on the Benjamin Garre case. On the part of City, they feel they acted appropriately in regards the transfer of the player days after his 16th birthday. Velez Sarsfield, who once had Nicolas Otamendi on their books, […]
Throughout this transfer window Manchester City have been linked, at some point, with some of the big names in the world game. As we enter August and begin to focus on the start of the season it seems, for some at least, that we may still not have seen our biggest signing in this window. […]
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 […]
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 our history separates us into three neat segments. The first, which I will look at today, are the seasons from the Premier League beginning up until our relegation in 1996. The […]
City fans, like myself, are really getting excited for the start of the new season. With Pep now having put his stamp on the squad, and the reduction in overall age of the squad, it is the start of a new and exciting time for the Blues. Fifty years ago, another Manager had been charged […]
Friday sees the return of Manchester City and their last friendly before the season kicks off just over a week later. Pre-season has had some of its really exciting points for City fans, the demolition of Real Madrid and Tottenham being just two. The emergence of some young players shows the academy is also moving […]
I wasn’t going to write anything about Manchester City with regards the Financial Fair Play (FFP) situation. My reasons for this were not that I love City and therefore do not want to focus on any potential negative aspects, that’s far from the truth. I mean, I do love the club, warts and all, but […]
Manchester City wrapped up their pre-season tour of America with a convincing 3-0 win against Tottenham. David Silva returned to the line up sporting a new haircut, which initially confused and excited me as I thought it was Pablo Zabaleta back at City! The win brought with it some really inspiring moments and passages of […]
Manchester City will wrap up their tour of America today against Tottenham Hotspur. It has been, overall, a good tour with exciting new faces added to the squad along with a few younger faces who, we can only hope, develop under Pep Guardiola and maybe even get to see them press the first team for […]
It has been roughly a week since Manchester City fell to Manchester United in the ‘friendly’ game played in Houston. The defeat in itself will turn out to be irrelevant when both sides enter April and May of 2018, but in this week, us City fans have seen the club purchase two new defensive players […]
After the defeat to Manchester United last week, and the subsequent signings of Benjamin Mendy and Danilo, it was going to be interesting to see how Pep Guardiola’s side have progressed. Up against a Cristiano Ronaldo-less Real Madrid, Manchester City fielded close to what I would assume could be their starting XI, excluding Mendy and […]
