Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has played down the current form of one of his star
players in typical fashion, suggesting that goalkeeper Joe Hart still has ways to go before being
compared to the world's best.
Hart, 24, is having a brilliant stadium with the Premier League leaders and made a couple of
brilliant saves to ensure that City walk out of Villa Park with a vital 1-0 win yesterday.

Rumours of Jose Mourinho wanting to leave Real Madrid for the Premiership would mean only one
thing: he is heading for Manchester. Since his famous Champions League win with Porto in 2004,
Mourinho has had no desire to manage any side lacking truly world-class pedigree. For this very
reason, a return to a depleted Chelsea side is not on the cards.

According to the Daily Mirror and Mail among others, Manchester City's Micah Richards has been
moved to delete his @officialMR2 Twitter account and asked police to investigate after receiving
torrents of racist abuse from a 'small but depressing minority of people' over the past few
months.
Manchester United reserves couldn't manage victory against Manchester City's 'elite development
squad' despite this generous gift from their neighbours. City goalkeeper Eirik Johansen found
himself in a nasty tangle with defender Reece Wabara, presenting United's Jesse Lingard with the
simplest of finishes.

Manchester City has furthered its efforts to develop its Asian fan base by signing a partnership
with MLJ, Inc. to develop its official Japanese mobile website.
A trip to Goodison Park is just the tonic needed following our recent troubles, namely a
bizarre, referee-induced three-goal collapse at home against Manchester United.
Wait, what? We rarely win at Everton? Shit.
Mean muggin'
We have actually won at Goodison this season, a 2-1 victory in extra time in the League Cup.
Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson believes that playing at Old Trafford tomorrow afternoon
could actually prove beneficial for the Reds, who have not been at their best at home this
season.
Despite using the Kop to their advantage to knock Manchester City out of the Carling Cup and
Manchester United out of the FA Cup, Liverpool's league form at Anfield has been nothing to rave
about.

It appeared to us an act of desperation – the very last resort, Plan B (or, more
appropriately, Plan Z), or any well-worn cliché – and it, well, was. For Manchester United,
bringing back Paul Scholes seemed a step back. Truth is, it's gone better than we'd envisaged back
then, ever since it was revealed ahead of the FA Cup 3rd round tie against Manchester City back in
January.
Newcastle have a tough game in London on Saturday as they will go up against 3rd placed
Tottenham Hotspur, who have 50 points from their 24 league games. Papiss Cisse scores first goal

Please take a moment to doff your metaphorical cap to Celia Hodkin, Kickettes. Celia has been a
Manchester City fan since 1933, and achieved a life's ambition last weekend when she was invited to
be the mascot at her club's game vs. Fulham.
As is only right for a woman of such commitment and stature, Celia was afforded VIP treatment on
game day, taking in the sights and sounds of the tunnel, the changing room (!
John Terry has been England captain three times. He has been stripped of the captaincy three
times. Rio Ferdinand has been England captain once. He does not want the England captaincy again.
Steven Gerrard has been overlooked for the England captaincy several times. He is no longer a
guaranteed starter in the side.
There's something beautifully eerie about Arsenal's Emirates stadium when it experiences a night
of snowfall. It almost looks like a scene out of the Twilight Zone and the colour
of the sky just takes you to a different place. What are these goose pimples? Bring back
November, please!
After nine matches away, El Pistolero was back in the Liverpool line up. The Uruguayan had been
watching in the stands as the mighty Reds gained excellent results against Manchester City and
Manchester United without him. Suarez came on as a substitute and could not inspire Liverpool
against a weakened Spurs team.
Manchester City's Carlos Tevez is one of the most maligned players in the Premier League at the
moment, and Liverpool legend Steve Nicol recently argued that "the football world would think a lot
less about Mancini if he does decide to let him come back". Nicol's former team-mate Mark Lawrenson
seems to be a lot more forgiving though, and he believes Tevez could still play an important role
for
"Who can follow a man like you as manager of United?" asked a journalist looking for a sound
bite that he could relay across England. "Oh I don't know about that," replied Sir Matt Busby in a
thick Scottish accent with a proud smile across his face.
The year was 1969.
It's understandable why it's forgotten even amongst the staunchest Manchester United
supporters.

Their is a lot of uncertainity over who will be the next England Captain after John Terry was
sensationally axed from the position last week. Favourites for the job United's Rio Ferdinand ruled
himself out of the running while Man City's Joe Hart has down played his chances of replacing
Terry.
Crazy stat alert: we out-passed Manchester City on Saturday.
No, I'm not grasping at straws. And yes, one can easily nuance that point away (weather stunk so
the passes were short and 'easy', we were chasing the game, City was more than willing to play 10
men behind the ball), but still, the stat remains: we out-passed City, the team that almost
attempted 1000 passes in a game.
Beyond anything which Mario may or may not be doing...what an odd sequence to catch during a
game, isn't it? Fans get caught doing things quite often, but not players seated in cushy
boxes.
That said....Mario makes a coke can disappear. I think. Which is pretty nice. Though I imagine
the higher ups would prefer he be watching the game.
It was a tough day for Yanks in England as Tim Howard, Landon Donovan, and Everton were held to a
draw against Wigan, while Clint Dempsey and Fulham lost to Manchester City.
