City are proving to be a strong contender for the Premier League title this season and one
player who has been instrumental in the Club's unbeaten run and fantastic form is Yaya Toure.
Toure who joined City last summer after a misunderstanding with his former club FC
Barcelona,has proved to be one of the club's most important signings with the 28 year old defensive
midfielder going on to become a key player in Mancini's line up.

From almost out of the UEFA Champions League to topping Group E, it's been a crazy first
campaign for Chelsea manager Andres Villas-Boas.
Talks of crisis at Stamford Bridge seem to be dissipating after Chelsea routed Valencia 3-0 to
advance to the knockout round for the ninth consecutive season.
Manchester City and Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure was yesterday named African Player of the
Year 2011 in a lavish gala ceremony in Accra Ghana. The 28 year old who has had a fantastic start
to the EPL this season, beat Mali's Seydou Keita and Ghana's Andre Ayew who finished second and
third respectively to win the award and become only the second Ivorian since Didier Drogba to win
the award.
Yaya Toure was named the CAF Player of the Year for being awesome in 2011, and rightly so.
Possibly for his sartorial abilities.
Actually, he showed up in different dress, which makes one think that massive robe is a prize
for winning the prize. A prize which immediately turns its wearer into a spiritual healer?

Clint's mouth. What a talent!
-More great stuff with Clint and members of his family.
