'Welcome to Manchester'

Sir Alex, thousands of miles away in China on tour with ManUre has ruffled a few feathers at Eastlands, saying Money Citeh are a 'small club' with a 'small mentality.'

His remarks are down to the above picture (Tevez on a advertising hoarding in the centre of Manchester) and the season hasn't started YET!!!

Season 2009/10: Teams to Watch Out For

The following post IS A BIT OF FUN, not to be taken seriously and certainly not for anyone to have a punt.

The title of the post is called "Teams to watch out for." Here is my list for the Premiership, Championship, League One, League Two & throughout the season there will be regular updates on the progress of each team.

So here goes:

Premiership: Forget your 'big four,' and forget the promoted clubs (although clubs promoted into the Premiership are always good for a laugh because they normally go straight back down.) The team to watch out for is Money Citeh. A no-brainer really considering the money they have spent.... so far.

Championship: Ipswich Town - Simply because Roy Keane worked the 'miracle' getting Sunderland into the Premiership. Lets see if he can do it again with the tractor boys.

League One: A difficult choice to make, but I plumped for Southampton. Simply because of the turmoil they have been through since the end of last season - relegation, change of ownership and administration and THEY start the season on minus 10 points.

League Two: The team I had originally picked was new boys Burton Albion, but since Sven took the Director of Football job at Notts County..... Notts County it is.

So have a bit of fun with the above list and if you have a list of teams to watch out for - let me know.

So Much for Money Citeh's Millions and Millions and Millions.....

They lost in South Africa this afternoon 2-0 to Orlando Pirates.


HA HA HA

£300k Per Week to Test Terry's Resolve

This story just won't go away. Back in January Man City made an enquiry on the availability of Chelsea and England Captain John Terry. Chelsea told City where to go.

In the last few days the City money men knocked at Chelsea's door again and were again rebuffed, leading to reports that City will come knocking again with a staggering £40 million transfer offer and a mindblowing £300k per week for the man himself!!

Tevez Quits The Ure

Not surprisingly Carlos Tevez has told Man Ure that he wants to leave Old Trafford.

But where will he go?

Chelsea or Man Citeh?

There is No Bigger Story.......

..... in football today that can supercede the inauguration of Barak Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America.


Perhaps except for Kaka's final declaration that he WON'T join Man City and Robinho's apparent walkout from Money Citeh's warm training camp in Tenerife last night.

So The Deal for Kaka is Still On.......!?!?!

Who says?

Man City's manager Mark Hughes, thats who!

You Flew All That Way and YOU LOST

With all their money, did Man City honestly expect to secure the services of Brazil and AC Milan's Kaka?


Figures bounded about today were that City were offering Milan in excess of £100m for Kaka and were prepared to pay him Kaka £500,000 per week!!!


Oh give me a break!!


Football and money gone completely mad and sparko.


Anyway Kaka has reportedly turn City down and has said that he wants to stay at AC Milan until he grows old.

First and foremost to everyone that has visited this blog in 2008, wishing you a Happy and Successful 2009.

To all new readers I wouild like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy and Successful 2009.

Thank you all for your support.

The transfer window opened at midnight and who will be the first club to get the cheque-book out?

Will it be Man Citeh who have millions and millions to spend?

Will it be Chelsea who desperately need new players to revitalise their Premiership title challenge?

Who will be the first club to offload players to raise much needed funds - West Ham?

The next 32 days will be very interesting indeed.

The transfer window closes at 5pm on Monday 2nd February.

Strange Day Indeed!

What a strange day in the Premiership for the top four.


Chelsea drew 0-0 with Newcastle


Liverpool drew 0-0 with Fulham


Man Utd drew 0-0 with Aston Villa


and the Gooners/Woolwich, lost at Man City 3-0


Now Aston Villa are in the top four and Woolwich are fifth LOL LOL


The Real Latics won at Southend 2-1, their 2nd away League win within a week. Last weekend they won 1-0 at Northampton. The Real Latics are still in the League One promotion shake-up.

Irish By Birth, Ireland By Nature

You know all the Irish jokes, but why would you want to have you head screwed on the wrong way up?


Man City's Stephen Ireland DOES have his head screwed on, cos he scored twice for Man City this afternoon in their draw at Premiership newcomers, Hull City.


Perhaps City's £32m man, Robinho should follow Ireland's example.

Cheesey Money Money Money Man City

Man City, the richest club in the World, cannot buy an away win in the Premiership apart from their one and only win at Sunderland when they won 3-0. Since then City have lost at Villa 4-2, Bolton (yesterday) 2-0, Middlesboro 2-0, drew in Toon Land 2-2 and lost at Wigan 2-1.


Does Robinho really understand and know where he is?


Will the Arab owners put up with it anymore - after all they did say they wanted Champions League football next season. At this rate, they will be lucky to get UEFA Cup football!!


So have a cheesey 'Money, Money, Money' singalong with the cast of Mamma Mia


MONEY
MONEY
MONEY

Here Comes The Money!!

First we had Russian money entering the Premiership, then it was the turn of the Yanks followed by Dr Thai and now the Arabs have left the dressing room and entered the playing field.

In a wonderful turbulent day on Monday, the last day of the transfer window and as one Man City fan put it, " We woke up skint and now we are rich," City were taken over by a consortium of Arabs with mega loads of cash to shed.

Shed the cash they did - guzumping Chelsea for the signature of Real Madrid's Robinho for over £32m - a new British transfer record.

Didier Drogba Returns

Didier Drogba made his long awaited return for Chelsea on Monday night. He played 60 minutes in Chelsea Reserves victory away against Arsenal.

Drogba didn't score but he made Chelsea's equaliser and then Chelsea went on to lead 3-1, before Arsenal scored a late consolation goal to make the final score 3-2 to Chelsea.

Drogba looks set to make his return to Chelsea's first team in the Premiership game at Man City on Saturday 13th September.

Paul Ince Is The New Blackburn Rovers Manager

Paul Ince today became the first British Black Premiership Manager by signing a three year contract to manage Blackburn Rovers.

The job became vacant went Mark Hughes moved up the road to Man City.

Ince has certainly took himself up the rungs of the managerial ladder - Swindon Town, Macclesfield Town and MK Dons.

With Macclesfield Town he kept them in League Two when it looked for such a long time that Macclesfield would drop out of the League and then with MK Dons, he won promotion to League One as Champions and won the Johnstone Paint Trophy.

Sven Out - Hughes In

Man City today finally dispensed with the services of Sven after one season in charge.

Almost immediately City were given permission by Blackburn Rovers to speak to Mark Hughes.

Chelsea's managerial options are looking slimmer by the day.

Sven on his Way???

Reports coming out tonight suggest that Sven Goran Eriksson is leaving Man City. Although Man City say that Eriksson will take training tomorrow (Tuesday), sources close to the Sven one, suggest otherwise.

This story will grow overnight.

Saturday's 3pm Kick Offs - LIVE SCORES!!!

The first FA Cup semi-final this weekend between Portsmouth and WBA ended Portsmouth 1-0 WBA, in the Premiership it finished Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool.

Scunthorpe 1-1 Sheff Wednesday in the Championship FINAL SCORE.
