Amid all the confusion and excitement of the transfer window, Newcastle United travel to Eastlands on Wednesday night to face a Manchester City side fresh from a week’s warm-weather training in Tenerife.

Man City – Players Review

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

With over half the Premier League season having been completed, I thought it would be a good time to rate how the players have done so far.

Man City 1 – 0 Wigan Athletic

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

‘Gritty, backs-to-the-wall, robust, stubborn and hard-working’ aren’t words you normally associate with Man City, but at Eastlands this afternoon, all those characteristics were shown in abundance by the Blues. A Pablo Zabaleta strike early in the second-half proved to be the winner, and although Richard Dunne was sent off almost immediately, City hung on for a memorable [...]

Portsmouth ‘v’ Man City – Postponed

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

WHAT A FARCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Premier League encounter between Portsmouth and Manchster City was cancelled today by referee Mike Dean after the offical deemed the pitch to be unplayable due to frost.

An away trip to the South Coast to face a Portsmouth side lacking in confidence offers City a perfect opportunity to cement their place in top echelons of the Premier League.

Man City 0 – 3 Nottingham Forest

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

From the moment that the City team was announced and Gelson ‘the worst ever footballer’ Fernandes was named in the starting eleven, it was clear that we were in for a bad day.
