    Only one "Football" team and that's Manchester City Football Club. Founded 1894. Season ticket holder since 1988 so been through the rough patches. But now Etihad and the Sheikh have took over we are now the richest club in the world. Happy days! :p

    I'm not a Man City fan, but I think it's good to see them up where they are right now. As a huge fan of the Premier League I think it's always good to see 'big' clubs doing well, even those that aren't ridiculously rich - e.g Newcastle or Leeds or Sunderland or any of the clubs with rich histories and passionate fan bases.

    Yes I agree. Newcastle you'll find has the biggest fan bases. But I remember in the mid 1990's when city dropped down to division 2 (before prem league) and even then we was still packing out Maine Road with fans. TBH in this day and age. The likes of Chelsea, Man U, L/pool Arsenal. Dropping down 2 divisions they'd lose their fan base immediately. Always have always will be CTID!

    Chelsea are rubbish anyway. Naples can embarrass them as much as they want for me. 2-1 well played Naples :p

    Forget inter tomorrow. Watch Man City V's Porto. Second league of the Europa league at home. If you watch closely enough you might see me in the crowd. I'll be wearing Blue ;)

    I saw Inter vs man. City in Baltimore couple years ago, that was fun. That was the last time Balotelli wore the inter Milan jersey, even thou he didn't play.

    haha yes. I'm loving mario. The news reports regarding his let's say weird behaviour is a great read. One day soon he will be a force to be reckoned with though once he grows up a little. Still young at the minute. But gotta love the guy!

    Everything sucks lately, I'm glad we didn't lose and pray for some good quality soccer to come back soon, because this way we ain't going anywhere.

    I do like Wesley Sneijder though. I have him on my FIFA 12 in a city shirt.

    Marseille would have been happy with a goalless draw, but they scored in the dying seconds to finish 1-0 to Marseille. This game was the first leg. The return leg is at inter on march 13th
