Manchester City
Your Weekend Preview
By: Rob |Haven’t done a weekend preview in a while, and I thought that it was time to get back into the mix and have a look at what games are going down over the weekend. At least one big game as Liverpool take on Manchester City, in a game that could prove pivotal in terms of [...]
How close are City to United?
By: Rob |So typically, Sir Alex Feguson has come out in the press today to announce that he’s never really seen Man City as a rival to Man United, only Liverpool. This is all partly mindgames, I imagine, but also partly frustration at how quickly its all come together at Eastlands.
Playing Man United this weekend is [...]
Whose Fault Was It for The Crowd Trouble at Eastlands?
By: Rob |There you have the much-watched highlights of Manchester City’s game against Arsenal at the weekend. As you will have seen, City won 4-2, thanks to an eventful day from ex-Gooner Adebayour, who scored, set one up, stamped on Robin Van Persie’s face, and sprinted the full length of the pitch to [...]
Abramovich: Billionaire. Owner. Lord of Irony.
By: Rob |Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has reportedly backed plans to curb clubs spending crazy money in the form of a spending cap during transfer windows. While obviously Chelsea have not been anywhere near as outrageous as some other clubs we could mention this summer, its not such a long time ago that Chelsea were the market [...]
Team By Team Preview – Part 3
By: Rob |So yesterday we went through the prospects for the teams from Burnley to Hull, today its Liverpool through to Stoke. Obviously this also covers two of the more interesting topic of discussions from the summer – the two teams from rainy Manchester.
Can City possibly break the Top Four? Can United cope post-Ronaldo? Can Liverpool [...]
Its all going so right for Manchester City afterall
By: Rob |So after failing to get John Terry from Chelsea, it seems City have succeeded in signing a different top four defender in the shape of Kolo Touré from Arsenal. So despite the odd disapointment, and in Terry’s case, people using their spending power to their own ends, Man City are looking genuinely quite strong this [...]
Barry shocks everyone…then says sorry.
By: Rob |Well, shut me up. Yesterday, after having vivid flashbacks of last years drawn out transfer sagas (One of which including Gareth Barry) I predicted that Man City’s shock move for Villa man Barry wouldn’t be that easy. And yet I was wrong, he’s signed at Eastlands.
He has written a long apology in the Birmingham [...]
City move first in bid to prize Barry from Villa
By: Rob |Manchester City have had a £12m bid for Gareth Barry accepted, as Villa seem to have accepted that the England midfielder is on his way out of Birmingham. Last season, Villa were in a stand off with Liverpool over a potential £18m move for the player.
I don’t know if City will sign him. At [...]
The Final League Table Vs My Pre-Season Predictions
By: Rob |Predictions are a fool’s game. The beauty of this game we watch is that its like a soap without a script – you never know what’s going to happen. Take Newcastle for instance, after a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford how many would have predicted the disastrous season they’ve endured? Not I, and neither would [...]
The Best Bits of the 08/09 Premier League Season

Just one game left for everyone to play, tomorrow afternoon (which will be liveblogged right here) here are the moments, good, bad and ugly that made this season so memorable. These are the things we’re going [...]
