The treatment of Mark Hughes was, simply put, disgraceful. The fact that the whole ground knew during the match that the Welshman would be replaced shortly by Italian Roberto Mancini is a shambles. My previous respect for the way in which our Abu Dhabi backers, namely Sheikh Mansour and Khladoon Al Mubarak, conducted themselves has [...]

With the January transfer window approaching faster than Eduardo can go to ground, what better time than now to assess the merits of the Manchester City squad. Obviously, Sheikh Mansour is more than happy to supply manager Mark Hughes with more funds in which to add to his squad, but is there really a need to [...]

Manchester City continued their slow run of form witha fifth consecutive draw as Burnley deservedly picked up their first away point of the season.
The pressure is certainly mounting on City manager Mark Hughes to get City back on track for the top four, as Burnley seemed to have more desire and heart than his [...]

64 days, 19 hours, 32 minutes and 27 seconds since Manchester City kicked off the 2009/10 Premier League campaign away at Blackburn Rovers, I sit here, reflecting on what has been an eventful, controversial, challenging and certainly enjoyable start to the season.

City who were hampered with the [...]

After the opening day victory against Blackburn Rovers, Manchester City marked their first fixture this campaign at Eastlands with a 1-0 win over a battling Wolves side. A second goal in two games for summer signing Emmanuel Adebayor handed the Blues the three points, but the victory margin should have been greater than just a single [...]

With all the hype and pressure that surrounded Manchester City before this match, it was imperative that the Blues started in winning ways against a typically competitive Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park. Goals from new signing Emmanuel Adebayor and last season’s player of the year, Stephen Ireland, clinched the victory for the expensively assembled City [...]

Last time I blogged, City still had Darius Vassell, Danny Mills and lest we forget, Glauber Leandro Honorato Berti. Quite a bit has happened since then!!
I’m sure that many of my, ahem, thousands of adoring fans noticed a lack of blogging updates from here, so I apologise if you were left traumatised and feeling upset by [...]

With thoughts and minds already turning to next season, this seems an opportune moment to review City’s UEFA Cup campaign, which took in a vast array of countries, ranging from Cyprus and the Faroe Islands to Spain and France. It was a competition that provided many highs for the City faithful and there were some [...]
