Manchester City are preparing an audacious swoop for Stamford Bridge’s more off than on the boil golden boy, Joe Cole. Whilst the Daily Star announced that a move to the red side of Manchester was more or less ‘nailled on’, word reaches the Tavern that this isn’t as done a deal as it might be suggested.
Now seasoned Transfer campaigners amongst you will be familiar with the way a certain Premiership …
Mysterious de la Souza – forgotten perhaps, but not gone?
The rate and force with which the revolving door at Eastlands turns has made it easy to forget some of the players and staff it has flung out while sucking others in. It has ejected several MCFC people, who at the time we thought very highly of and would surely miss. Players we were supposedly mad to sell, or perhaps to …

I got everything I needed as an eight year old going to my first ever City match; hat, scarf, gloves, dad (Brian) and grandad (Eric) as we drove along Princess Parkway towards Moss Side the home of Manchester City.
We parked what seemed miles away near Alexander Park and we weaved our way down the side streets amongst the huge …
Are you the Manchester City fan that they’re after? Cos we is a hirin’.This is the card in the newsagent’s window. This is the Wonka Bar you’ve been waiting for.
As part of the vertible kaleidoscope of Manchester City footballing fun and hi jinkery in general we’re looking for match reporters. You might be a season ticket holder, you might be some grotesque and obese couch bound sloth living in a high rised flat on Coco Pops and chip sandwiches but have 327 …
An assessment as grueling as Gladiators, who will survive the travelator and come out on top?!
Let the games begin!
Who would win in….a race?
Literally too hard to call. Bellamy and Defoe are both very, very quick. On recent evidence I might have to sway towards the Welshman. After being deployed on the wing, the raw pace of the man has been terrorising full-backs all season. While Defoe may have a quicker ‘first …
The name in the frame is Diego Perotti. Who? He’s a twenty one year old, attacking left winger. The word is that despite Manchester City failing to sign the player a few months ago, the situation at Seville hasn’t improved any and the player is free to recommence negotiations out of his current contract.
Joe Hart has a lot of promise and potential and has a big future on the international scene. He has excelled at Birmingham this season, helping the club reach eighth in the Premiership, after falling out of favour last season at Manchester City due to the arrival of Shay Given.
Regarding England, the situation is less clear. In a few years Hart will undoubtedly be in the mix to be England’s …
Roberto Mancini’s best friend at Manchester City seems to be that scarf he is always seen to be wearing on match days. Taking over Mark Hughes, in the circumstances in which he did, was always going to be a tough act to follow. Hughes’ sacking was one of typical style from rich owners- ruthless.
It did seem at the time that Mark Hughes was certainly a favourite of a healthy percentage of …
Manchester City have been living in the shadows of the big clubs for too long it seems. Some of their supporters are hatching a second rate plan to get in on the coat tails of both Liverpool and Manchester United.
Manchester City have never sold so many scarves in their history since the arrival of the dapper don, Mancini. Nor incidentally have they enjoyed such an inspiring season in recent times.
But …
The last week at Manchester City has brought murmurings of discontent amongst players and the circulation again of the rumour that Mancini’s appointment was only ever a temporary one.
This just in then.
“ …told you massive changes at the end of the season
…well this new development sort of affects us but never really did in the end because Mourinho is the new manager of Man City.”
From accredited In The Know ‘Milthfc’ …
