Video Highlights: Aston Villa Vs Manchester City, Job Dunne!!





Manchester City got more than they had deserved when Craig Bellamy scored the crucial 70th minute equalizer to draw at Villa Park. The points arrived at the end of a negative City performance. Personally, I am expecting a lot more from a £120m ++ team.

This was Gareth Barry and Richard Dunne's first meeting with their former clubs. And it was the Irish defender who shone the brightest.

A Stephen Warnock's cross saw Dunne out-jump Gareth Barry before planting a firm header into the net.

Video Highlights:Manchester City Vs West Ham 3-1, Manchester City Is Unplayable!





Carlton Cole's emphatic finishing is winning fans, but not the game. Cole's solitary goal is unable to prevent the Hammers from losing 3-1 away to Manchester City.

The Eastland side was unplayable. Argentinian Tevez scored twice with Martin Petrov bagging the other.

Video: Adebayor Taunting The Arsenal Fans!!



Yes they are not Millwall fans. Adebayor would be nothing more than a brutally murdered corpse right now if he was in the 'den'.

Adebayor had earlier commented that, “Arsenal have a lot of fans who are not fans.”

“Arsenal have fans from America and Jamaica. Today they are Arsenal fans, tomorrow they will be Liverpool fans and after tomorrow they will be Manchester United fans.”

Is there any element of truth in what Adebayor had said??

Arsenal's "top four" credentials is questioned once again after a crunching defeat by Manchester City.

Should we castigate Arsene Wenger's youth and transfer policy again?

Noel Gallagher: John Terry And Adebayor Should Get Lost!

oasis and manchester city

For wise reasons known only to himself, Noel Gallagher does not want John Terry at Manchester City.

Oasis guitarist and City fan says,“I don’t like John Terry and I never have. He’s got funny eyes and he’s a cry baby. He’s also a Cockney.”

He does not fancy Adebayor joining Manchester City too. Noel said, “I have always had a great dislike for Adebayor. I don’t like all that silly dancing by the corner flag.”-Mirror

Video: Ronaldo Laughed About Manchester City Project In Interview

Cristiano Ronaldo seemed as if he had the giggles and tried to hold back the whole time when asked about The Manchester City Project by a Sky Sports reporter.

The Eastland club's cash wasting antics must have been the most comedic thing he has ever seen. And who can blame him?- Carlos Tevez signed for £25 million.



Last year, Manchester City were rumored to be making a £135 million bid for the Portuguese star.

When asked if he would join Manchester City, Ronaldo's reply was: "Never. City have a lot of good players and might be a problem for United, Arsenal and Chelsea. But that doesn't interest me. I am only interested in playing for Real Madrid and teams like Barcelona and Valencia."-Guardian

Video: Darius Vassell Is Ankaragucu's Super Hero!



Former England striker, Darius Vassell, arrived in Turkey to discuss a transfer with Turkish club Ankaragucu.

Around 3,000 fans of Turkish side Ankaragucu turned out to welcome Vassell. The boisterous contingent went into delirious joy when Vassell finally appeared. The former City striker was mobbed by the hysterical fans who surrounded him and draped him in scarfs and flags.

“We’ve terminated the pre-negotiations with Darius Vassell,” Yilidirim said on Turkish radio ahead of Vassell’s arrival.

“We aim to secure a big signing as this year is our centenary. He [Vassell] will visit the city and our installations. Then he will make a decision.

“I hope we can include him in our squad.” Yilidirim says on the Turkish radio.

Ankaragucu should be a great place to start over. I wish Darius Vassell luck in his career and fulfil his true potential.

Video: Interview, Roque Santa Cruz Signed For Manchester City




Santa Cruz, the Paraguay international has sealed his transfer from Ewood Park to Manchester City. The transfer amount is rumoured to be an initial down payment of £16 million, rising to £18m based on goals scored and appearances.

Santa said: "I'm very happy to have signed for City. It has been close to happening for a while, and now I can just focus on football and concentrate on doing my best for the club.

"I know the kind of football Mark Hughes wants to play and the kind of character he is - he's a winner, he wants to make things happen and be successful. Those are always my thoughts as well, so knowing what he wants was a big factor in coming here, because I know the club is going in the right direction."

Roque Santa Cruz career in Europe so far has been plagued by injuries. If he can stay fit, he should do ok for Manchester City. Watch the interview in the video.

Video: Portsmouth Star Glen Johnson Set To Be Sold

4 clubs have made bids for Portsmouth's England right-back, Glen Johnson.

Portsmouth executive chairman Peter Storrie has confirmed the rumor. Johnson will be have to choose from Chelsea, Liverpool Manchester City or Aston Villa. The 24 year old is valued between £15m and £18m.

Storrie told Sky Sports, "I've know Glen a long while, from my West Ham days. When I re-signed him (at Portsmouth) we talked things over.

"He said, 'If one of the big four come in with Champions League football, would you stand in my way?'

"I told him I couldn't do that. Providing the deal is right for Portsmouth and Glen then we will look to try and do something in the right way.

"It is very hard to try and hold people back when they have a chance to play in the Champions League. I accept that."

Will Glen Johnson pick money or ambition? Be rich or obscenely rich?

Video Report: Manchester United V Manchester City 2-0, Title Race Nearly Over



Hughes was wary of the Portuguese marksman’s set-piece shooting that he spent last week trying to devise training exercises that would enable his goalkeepers to prepare for it. However his efforts were futile. Ronaldo's scored his 26th goal of the season from a stationary free kick.

Tevez scored the second goal on the 45th minute to put the result beyond doubt and earned Man Utd all three points.

Manchester City Wants Toure? Watch Video Compilation




Yaya Toure is the latest £25million soccer talent linked with a summer move to Manchester City. City officials had held talks with the Catalan Giants.

Will the 25 year old Ivorian midfielder move to Manchester City? He is strong, fast and efficient. He will not score as many goals as Stephen Ireland but will add steel and stability to City's midfield. I have attached a video compilation of Yaya Toure..

Hamburg 3 Manchester City 1 UEFA Quarter Finals



Despite Shay Given's heroics in front of goal, it had ended 1-3, in favour of the Germans.

Manchester City were particularly unlucky. Hamburg should not have been awarded penalty in my opinion.

Was Micah Richards handball intentional? I doubt it.. He was only trying to protect his face from Mathijsen's ferocious kick! I will shield my face too when someone whacks the ball at my face..

Summary:
Hamburg SV
Joris Mathijsen (9) Piotr Trochowski (pen 64) José Paolo Guerrero (79)

Manchester City
Stephen Ireland (1)
