This week has seen Roberto Mancini come under increasing pressure about his future as manger of Manchester City Football Club…… after just months in charge!
Will we ever learn that sacking a manager is just a brief moment of joy which brings the same sort of frustrations that were feeling now in the long run? We [...]

Hyperbole is an interesting word. Defined as an extreme exaggeration for emphasis, few could argue that it would be a hyperbole to describe the second leg of this Carling Cup tie, held at Old Trafford, as the biggest match in Manchester City’s recent history. As would befit a Marks and Spencer advert, this is not [...]

 
The FA Cup returns to conclude a dramatic week of cup action, with Scunthorpe hosting a buoyant Manchester City side, on Sunday (16:00).

With some 3rd Round fixtures only being completed this week due to the adverse weather conditions earlier this month, coupled with two dramatic Carling Cup semi-finals, the advert for cup football has never [...]

In 1995, Georgiou Kinkladze appeared for his native Georgia, against Mike Smith’s Wale’s side, vying for a place in the European Championships, which were to be held across the border in England some 2 years later. It was during this game in which he announced himself, to not only the fans in Cardiff Arms Park, [...]

Manchester United visit Eastlands tonight, for the first leg of the much anticipated Carling Cup Semi Final (20:00 Hrs), which was postponed a fortnight ago due to adverse weather conditions.

Following Mondays 4-1 home win against Blackburn, a host of selection [...]

On Monday night, as I stood shivering in the Steve Bull Stand at Molineux, surrounded by a couple of thousand fellow City fanatics, it struck me that after just two matches, all our so called ”woes” under previous manager Mark Hughes had dissipated, and we had settled into a new dawn under the leadership of Roberto [...]

A thoroughly professional performance from Man City this afternoon earned three points for the Blues in Roberto Mancini’s first game in charge of the club. Without ever producing the free-flowing football which they are more than capable of, City, led by the irrepressible Gareth Barry, comfortably secured a 2-0 victory, thanks to goals by the recalled [...]

Former Fiorentina, Lazio and Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini takes charge of his first match as the boss of Manchester City, following a typically eventful week at Eastlands. After the sacking of former incumbent Mark Hughes, my views on which can be seen here, the languid and relaxed Italian, who hopes to bring a winning mentality to City, needs a win [...]

After letting the dust settle over the past 24 hours, I feel it’s time to put the Hughes debacle to one side for the moment, and to concentrate on the rest of the season. Irrespective of what many people think, Hughes has left the club in a better position than when he took over. We currently [...]
