Manchester City Star Still Believes In Title Bid, And So He Should

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany told the Daily Mail that his side will take motivation from their title triumph in 2012. We can all remember the dramatic scenes from two years ago when the red half of Manchester threw away what many saw as an insurmountable lead of the table.

Mario Balotelli happy to be home

He was regularly in the media whilst at Manchester City and more often than not it was for all the wrong reasons. From setting off fireworks in his bathroom to giving out money whilst dressed as Santa, separating the fact from the fiction was almost impossible and there was too little talk about his ability whilst on the pitch.

Celebrating the slide tackle (Video)

Whilst we marvel at the wonderful goals and pieces of skill performed each week by the finest attacking players, we rarely give praise to the defenders at the other end of the pitch who are also doing their job. Defending is not a glamorous art filled with moments of brilliance and excitement, but it is a necessity for any team that has aspirations to win trophies.

They just get on with it without any fuss, so here is a chance to celebrate the most spectacular part of their game; the slide tackle.

5 horror challenges (Video)

A big debate in the common-day football what is and what isn't a foul or a bookable offence, Manchester City's Vincent Kompany for example. We often see a player getting a straight red card, only for it to be rescinded a few days later because the governing board deem it not to be worthy of dismissal and a 3 game ban.

Goodbye Mario, thanks for the memories

‘Super Mario’ or ‘Mad Mario’ is a question I have seen posed to an awful lot of people in the media since news of Mario Balotelli’s transfer to AC Milan broke.  For me, he is an enigma whose departure will make the Premier League a far less entertaining place.
