So, it appears the sulky Frenchman has found his way to The City of Manchester Stadium for a whopping ?13M.
It's not the first time a sulky, charasmatic Frenchman has arrived at the gates of Ringway though. I do recall a certain Mr Eric Cantona, with an equal reputation for kicking himself in the foot. He went on to win nearly every domestic honour in the country. Anelka to do the same???
Im starting to sense some omens! Anelka, just like Cantona had been thrown out of the french national team due to his antics, maybe Anelka has more time to get back into 'les bleus' but its an omen all the same.
So, should we be commending Keegan on another masterstroke in the transfer market or will it all end in tears? It's a typical Keegan buy, very risky. But then a lot of his buys turned out quite well. We'll see come next May.
Anyway, as a Mancunian, and a Manchester United fan, i'd like to wish City all the best luck for next season, *restrains from making a 6 easy points gag*
Its great to have the best sporting city in England represented twice over in the Premiership, and sorta in the words of Eminem, It feels so empty, without City!
We're still gonna whip ure arses boys, that is, if we buy, 5 new world class defenders in the summer! <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
A couple of other points! what is it with City and United rejects? Macken, Goater, Cooke, Schmeichel etc etc. You want Yorkie boys, cos we dont. Im suprised you havent gone for David May, Ronnie Wallwork (great player, totally under-rated), Ronny Johnsen and Denis Irwin yet. And if it's not former Man Utd players, you buy players who used to torment us, ie, Anelka, Wanchope. I think you've got too many strikers already. You can stop your anti-ManU buying campaign....lol.
One last thing, Commentators, PLEASE, stop driving Mancs to despair. Dont ever call Manc Clubs just "Manchester" or we'll have to start refering to Chelsea, Fulham, West Ham, Arsenal and Tottenham as London!!! Get the idea!!!!

Now, on what do you base your claim Manchester is Englands premier sporting city <IMG SRC="confused.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Schmeichel a united reject? <img src="http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/lol.gif" alt="image"> Dont make me laugh, Barthez is nothing on the great Dane
And I agree with ebb- how can you even mention Anelka and Cantona in the same breath
If he keeps his head down and keeps quiet he will keep Man City in the Prem and maybe shoot them into Uefa cup.
Schmeichal is also an amazing player and will earn his wages in saves, But I fear he may be on the way out if he is tested too much. At Villa he made their first half of the season but then the defence got creaky and Schmeichal was given very little chance.
Goeter will soon find his way back to the first division as he is definately not Premier standard. On the same note there is Wanchope, who as his name suggests is for the chop. He wouldnt even hold his own in Div 2 let alone Div 1
He is not crap. he is/was a great player. Alongside Sheringham and Di Canio(not quite as good) they are among the best in their positions.
Anelka should never be mentioned in the same sentence as they are totally different players.
Barthez and Schmeichal??
I would have to have the old Schmiechel.
But If it was today I would choose Barthez.
What basis is there for that assumption? Last season he was banging them in when he was fit and playing- I believe he is more than capable of holding his own in the premiership, when you look at some of the strikers scoring at teams like Everton, Southampton etc. I dont know how many games he will get with Anelka joining now and Huckerby and Macken on the books, but I think even if he does move on (which I doubt), there will be a few premiership clubs interested.
Why is it ludicrous?
only time will tell!!!
We got the commonwealth games, we dont fuck up when we build new stadiums. Rugby League, Rugby Union, Ice Hockey, Swimming, Boxing, Football, Cricket, Speedway etc etc. Manchester has the lot. It is the sporting capital of Britain, and thats not just my view, its the truth!

No basis for this. Just one of those gut feeling things. May (probably) be wrong. If so I apologise in advance.
Well I suppose most Manchester City fans do come from and know about Manchester
As opposed to United fans......
Oh yeah and also- grow up. You're impressing no-one
Right which aspect of Manchester City do you wish to discuss ?
There is no doubt Manchester has a good set of sporting facilites but,
Ermmmmm, where exactley ? Hardly Twickenham to be fair <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Nor do I see any Manchester based team doing especially well
Most of the UK's cityies have decent facilites, in Nottingham we have the National Ice Centre, which is better than anything you have, Wembley arena is also better than the MEN arena <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
You have a swimming pool, marvellous, well done <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Aagin, there are better arenas than yours in this country, mainly Wembley arena
Even Liverpools sides were finished in better place than yours, London has 4 times as many stadiums, most cities have two.
Old Trafford been the worst test match venue.
Face it, your not as good as London and that is a FACT.
As for Anelka, he is a goalscorer and that is it, he's been bouncing around clubs like an unwanted smell, he will never be in the same class as Cantona, the fact Liverpool told him to fuck off adds to the argument, I'm sorry but I find it hard to believe someone who claims to know anything can compare the two. He is a decent premiership player, not a premiership great and he will never achieve that status with Man City.
Maybe if the win the Worthington cup, otherwise they'll finish mid-table.
I have to agree on Goater he is rubbish.
So mancmanomyst, fire away on any tiny aspect you wish to discuss about Man City, we'll see who knows more <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
OK OK I admit it, I am bias towards him after the goals he scored when City beat us 6-2 at hillsborough <IMG SRC="mad.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
But I just dont think hes TOO bad, misses a few I know but does stick a fair few away.
actually mate, mancunian united fans out number manc city fans 2-1. Its just we've got the extra base outside manc too.
of course, ud know that if u knew manc. pitty!

Yes but the quality fans in manchester go to city and the quantity to to united <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Sale (a greater manc team) did very well this year. Wigan are always up there.
Manchester has state of the art facilities
The velodrome
City of Manc Stadium
Belle View speedway
State of the art swimming facilities
Best football stadia in the country
Good athletics facilities
The busiest Arena in the world.
We have everything, hence we got the commonwealth games!!!!
Manchester is an intensive hotbed for sporting passion

FREE DRUPAL THEMES
of course i know more about manchester than you, im manc born and bread!
London is better, that is not a fact. That's your opinion. FACT=Manchester is hoasting the commonwealth games this summer
FACT=London should have been holding the next athletic championship but that might not happen because the facilities arnt adequate.
As for Anelka, I personally think he'll be good for a 6 months then start sulking and disappear. Im comparing the Cantona situation with the Anelka one, not the players. Cantona is a Legend, Anelka has a lot to prove before becoming that. Im just exploring the possibilities ahead!
I naturally hate Anelka for 4 reasons.
1. He used to play for Arsenal
2. He used to play for Real Madrid
3. He always scored against us
4. I dont like him as a personality

Face it your top dogs in atletics at the mo, thats it, quite poor reaaly <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Well, lets see, everybody across the country admits Man City have great loyal support, they make lots of noise.
Meanwhile at Old Trafford as the hundreds of coaches pull up (and don't say otherwise, i've been a few times) We are treated to a bunch of prawn sandwich eating, quiet, moaning, glory supporters.
I think I know who has the quality and who the quantity <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Yes, a french stick i suspect.
As I've said the commonwealth games indicate you've good athletics facilties, that hardly equates to the UK's premier sporting venue to be fair <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
