Why Manchester City are well equipped to win the Premier League

February 28, 2012

On these pages yesterday there was a spectacularly ill-thought-out piece suggesting that Manchester City had no chance of winning this year’s Premier League. The author’s reasoning? Manchester United win it most years, so they will win it again. City don’t win it most years, so they won’t. City don’t have strength in d [...]

Today, I am embarrassed to be a football fan

February 17, 2012

I honestly thought I’d never again hear monkey chants directed at a black player during a football match outside of backwards Eastern European nations. But at Porto’s ground last night, I heard, loud and clear, Porto fans making monkey noises whenever Manchester City’s Mario Balotelli was involved in the action. What kind of moron [...]

Harry Redknapp – football’s biggest hypocrite?

January 23, 2012

Harry Redknapp, who spent most of last week aiming poisonous verbal darts in the direction of Manchester City manager, Roberto Mancini, last night went on live television to try to get the FA to take retrospective action against Mario Balotelli for an alleged stamp on Scott Parker during City’s dramatic win against Spurs. Funny, I [...]

Chris Foy and Wayne Rooney – United in being a disgrace to football

January 9, 2012

Let’s face it, yesterday’s Manchester derby was awful. Yes, there were goals and a spirited second-half fightback from City after an understandably poor first-half display. But the game was ruined as a fair contest by Chris Foy and Wayne Rooney in the eleventh minute. Anyone who knows the rules of football intimately will understand tha [...]

Liverpool – the Premier League’s biggest cheats?

November 29, 2011

Is ‘King’ Kenny Dalglish building one of the most unpleasant teams in Premier League history? You’d better ‘king believe it. His team’s performance against Manchester City on Sunday was nothing short of scandalous. We’ve all known for a while that Martin Skrtel, their caveman-esque centre back, is a thug. We̵ [...]

Never mind the team – it’s Manchester United’s fans who were embarrassing on Sunday

October 25, 2011

Anyone who was at Old Trafford on Sunday to see Manchester City annihilate their neighbours or who watched the highlights on MOTD2 would have seen the same thing. United fans streaming out of a ground a full 20 minutes before the end. Yes, their outplayed team were 3-0 down but so what? By the time [...]

Everton manager, David Moyes, is “a hypocrite and should be charged by the FA”.

September 26, 2011

David Moyes’s post-match comments after his Everton’s side 2-0 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday were remarkable. And not in a good way. After sending his team out to once again play their own unique brand of thuggish anti-football, he had the temerity to accuse City’s captain, Vincent Kompany, of “doing” Tim Cahil [...]

Class? Manchester City show Manchester United how it’s done

May 18, 2011

Over the last few years, since the takeover of the club, Manchester City fans have had to endure taunts of ‘lacking class and history.’ The second taunt is beyond laughable, especially as it generally came from Spurs fans, who support a club that has won precisely the same number of league titles as City – [...]

Why Manchester City’s F.A. Cup final win had Manchester United fans crying into their beer

May 16, 2011

It was a great weekend for fans of the Manchester clubs. Of that there can be no doubt. Yet, just as United fans were cranking up their celebrations at their club winning the league for a remarkable 19th time on Saturday, they were brought crashing back down to earth by City’s 1-0 win over Stoke [...]

More hypocrisy from the media and Manchester United fans about those Manchester City ‘Munich’ chants

April 26, 2011

Let’s get this straight.  I’m not even going to try to defend the chants of  ‘Who put the ball in the Munichs’ net’ aimed in the general direction of Yaya Toure at last night’s Blackburn vs Manchester City game. They’re bang out of order. I will contextualise the chants, though. The use of ‘Munich’ is [...]

What’s with all the fuss about Mario Balotelli’s wink? It’s Rio Ferdinand who should be facing F.A. disciplinary action

April 19, 2011

Once more the tabloid hacks are weeing themselves trying to pin some awful deed upon Manchester City’s Mario Balotelli, after the fracas at the end of City’s surprisingly comfortable F.A. Cup semi-final win over Manchester United. Once more they’re talking from their not inconsiderably-sized bottoms. Balotelli’s offence? To [...]

Manchester United should be docked points and Sir Alex Ferguson banned from the touchline for the rest of the season

March 7, 2011

The behaviour of Manchester United’s players and officials and executives has now become utterly indefensible. Never mind the contempt with which Sir Alex Ferguson continues to treat match officials and broadcasters, even the club’s chief executive, David Gill, became embroiled in a heated exchange with the referees’ chief, Mike R [...]
