A footballing blog with a focus on the present and a lean towards Manchester City, past and present.
Its the little things that matter sometimes make the big differences and it is the little things that Mancini got right some time ago that are making huge differences right now. When Mancini was given the City job the club had a number of keepers on the...
There are 13 Premier League games left this season and City are a meagre two points clear of United. Apparently the famous ‘squeaky bum time’ is about to start and it has to be said that City have struggled to find the fluidity of football they had early...
