The starlets that could save Manchester City a small fortune

Football FanCast columnist David Mooney lauds the Man City youth and feels that long term they could save the club a small fortune.

The future's bright for Manchester City. And I'm not talking about the money that there is floating around the boardroom, or the quality of players Mark Hughes has brought into the squad, or even they style of football we've seen City capable of in recent weeks.

Manchester City manager Mark Hughes thought his side's first-half display in Thursday's UEFA Cup clash against Omonia Nicosia was below-par but was more impressed with their performance after the break.

City had won 2-1 in Cyprus a fortnight ago but needed second-half goals from Elano and Shaun Wright-Phillips to finally see off their spirited opponents and seal a place in Tuesday's draw for the group stage of the competition.

Arsenal Spurs, Newcastle Sunderland, Manchester City & United - Has Robbie Keane got a point?

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 16:22:41 +0100

Football FanCast columnist Jordan White reacts to Keane's claims that he feels that the Mersey derby is the biggest in England and wonders if that is really the case.

If there is one great thing about the derby game, it is the one day your team actually plays for their supporters. After weeks of rubbish half hearted displays, your team finally grows itself a conscience and realise that they actually may have to put in some effort for those people who pay their wages every week and afford them the all the luxuries they enjoy. It is one of the infuriating traits in modern football and one we have grown use to.

Was Manchester City warning a genuine gesture or a show of fear?

Rob Facey — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 12:59:41 +0100

Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey wonders whether Sir Alex Ferguson's warning to Man City is a genuine gesture, or whether the United boss is preparing himself and the club's fans for the worst.
