As Brucie Would Say.....
Published on Dec 30, 2012
As the grand old man of TV used to say " Good Game" "Quick look at the old scoreboard" But after the first few minutes I wonder how many of us were getting ready to take over the mantle from Villa with most conceded over the holidays. But the players responded well and steadied the ship, [...]

Run Ends Prematurely in My Eyes
Published on Dec 22, 2012
O well it had to end, it has been a remarkable run, but the way it has ended is more disappointing than the fact of losing. I am sorry to say I have to lay the blame at the manager's door, you cannot defend for nearly all the second half. We were comfortably in control of the game and deservedly took the lead with an [...]

Martinez. That's out of order
Published on Dec 17, 2012
Another 3 points in the bag and the run continues, we know it cannot go on forever so enjoy every dam second of it. We did make a little hard work of putting Wigan to bed, but they deserve a little credit for having a go in the second half, although I don't agree with Martinez that they derserved something out of the game. There [...]

Six and Counting
Published on Dec 14, 2012
A win on saturday to get the Villa game out of the system, several of us said we could take a defeat to Villa as long as we beat Wigan. A good result on saturday would leave us with needing just 5 wins from the remaining 20 games, to reach the magical 40 point mark. It seems highly unlikey to me that we can go 20 games without picking up [...]

Disappointed Again
Published on Dec 12, 2012
Disappointing, to say the least another chance of a visit to Wembley has gone by, the closest we have been for a long while. Given the way we have been playing along with the way Villa had been out of sorts, we were perhaps wrong to expect a City victory.: it was a cup game after all anything can happen With changes enforced [...]

Butterfield Loan Extended

We have not seen any reports saying that Andrew Surman is injured, but he was seen coming out of Virgin Active (the old Asda sportspark then Esporta) He was with one of the physio teams and his left knee was quite heavily strapped. It could easily be nothing or a simple taping job.

Modou Sougou
Published on Dec 4, 2012
The Daily Mail has City along with Newcastle and Villa sending scouts to watch FC Cluj winger Modou Sougou at Manchester United on Wedneday night. Sougou has caught the eye in the Champions league this season, so I would imagine his price will rise a considerable amount from the current price thought to be around £2million. [...]
