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.

Football FanCast columnist David Mooney reacts to the criticism levied at his beloved Manchester City and feels it somewhat unjust.

So, Manchester City get a billionaire owner and now they're ruining football. It's true. It has to be. The media told me so. Oh, no... Hang on...

Football FanCast columnist David Mooney is still in a daze, following the last 24hrs at his beloved Manchester City and hopes this time they don't cock it up.

I'm all for transfer windows, but I think the most annoying thing about the whole process is transfer deadline day. I've been glued to the internet, my mobile phone, Sky Sports News and any other media source I could find, simply to find out what Manchester City were up to.

Dave Mooney asks the Manchester City board some simple questions on behalf of all who love city.

Right then. If anyone could shed any light what’s going on at Manchester City then I’d be delighted to hear it. I am completely clueless about virtually everything at the moment and I’m one of the biggest supporters.

Football FanCast columnist David Mooney realises; after a night at the ‘North West Masters,' why football is truly the most beautiful of games.

On Saturday evening, I went to the North West Masters. If you were there, or happened to watch it on Sky Sports, you'll have seen some terrific football, and a cracking atmosphere - helped significantly by a large group of jovial Oldham fans. And it was that night that made me see exactly why the full version of football is the best game in the world and why it doesn't seem to push the right buttons for most Americans.

Football FanCast columnist David Mooney feels that given Cristiano Ronaldo has 4yrs remaining on his contract that he should put up and shut up.

With Sepp Blatter making ridiculous claims about the modern footballer, I thought I'd just take a quick look at all the things these ‘modern day slaves' have to put up with and how enslaved they actually are. I mean, Blatter may have just picked the wrong word, after all English isn't his first language, but he does seem fluent enough to know what a slave is.
